Might be the only option I didn't order on my Platinum 350.
Now y'all got me jonesin'! Maybe it's within my DIY wheelhouse?

@Loshad if it wasnt cold and snowy, and my truck fit in the garage I would of tried DIY. Howe er I talked service down to $100 to install front and back mudflaps, and side window vents. So ill let them do it.

and I'm jacking my wife ford points. so between mine and hers, no out of pocket cost for items and install.

 

[Loshad]

LOL I can't use 'cold and snowy' for my excuse.
How about just plain lazy?

Looks like these are the correct ones for the Tremors. I just ordered a set.

Did these turn out to be right? I almost ordered them but it says they are for trucks with fender flares.

Are those the standard or the "long john" ?

Tips, tricks, advice on install?

Did you have to drill the truck or just the mud flaps?

Yup, it's the 14" long johns. I just laid the mudflaps in the wheel well where I wanted them, then used chalk to outline the outside fender then measured from the line to the middle of the fender marked where I wanted the holes then laid it on the other flap so they would be uniform on both sides and drilled both at once. They come with stainless self tapping screws. The flaps are stainless so drilling them first will save you frustration. The screws will attach to the fenders very easily.

My dealer installed these, very happy with them so far. Only 11,000 km. So far so good

Thanks for the reply. bummed a guy has to drill into the truck but damn they look so good on your truck its probably worth it.

I like them, they help keep shit from flying up the side of the truck. We camp a lot, so some of the roads I'm on have small gravel that get stuck in the tires and shoot like missles when I get on a paved road.

Gatorback from Ford.

Anyone have gatorbacks installed? I just installed my own because I hate people working on my stuff, but my driver's tire slightly rubs at the least clearance when turning. Wondering if anyone has them and if they rub at all.

I had the Gator Backs installed on my 2022MY by the dealer and have the exact same rub...I've had these Mud Flaps on the last couple trucks and they're great...the others have never rubbed...the rub is a little bit annoying on this install.

I readjusted mine with the nylon spacers so that the flap was not so tight to the wheel well. It was making the bottom of the flap curve back into the tire and now it clears by an 1/8 inch.

Since I didn't install them...did they come with additional spacers? This slightly forward curve is exactly the issue with mine.

Mine rubbed on the front when backing up with wheels turn, I fixed by tighten the bolts.

I have this exact problem after throwing 37s on with a bit of negative offset (-12). Been eyeing the trigger mudflaps because I need them to be thin so they don't rub, still reading reviews and stuff.

I have +1 offset on my Fuel Assaults with 37” Ridge Grapplers.
I gave Rek Gen Off Road mud flaps. They did rub a brief second when I was turning and hit a bump going a big fast. Otherwise I love my Rek Gen flaps.
Costly though. 205$ per pair on Amazon. You might be able to go right to Rek Gen and get lucky with a coupon. It took 2 weeks to arrive.
I stupidly ordered 1 pair and then when it arrived I ordered a second pair. 410$ for all 4.
1 set didn’t come with installation clips. They took awhile to be resent.

How are the trigger flaps holding up? still happy? Thinking about going with the standard size to help with the rocks kicking up after swapping out tires for 37's.

Those look really good! Pricey, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for sharing, definitely looking into these as well.

Since these have holes in them, you still get all the rain/dirt kicked up on to the side of the truck I assume? They just block the rocks?

Also, did you order the 12" wide, 12" length? That's the widest and longest they offer it looks like.
