    nice. thanks.

    I really dont want to put mud flaps on my truck. it seems like it's highly suggested to protect it though.

    Yes, do the flaps, I went with Weather Tech, they only run about $70 and you can have them on in 10 mins or less.

    absolutely! they are a great company to work with.

    they are still pretty small and I have had email conversations with them before. they even have black hardware now if you want to ask them about that; i think the black hardware looks much better than the plain galvanized.
    they have even featured me on their instagram :cool:

    Just installed Weathertech ones. I don't expect to be doing extreme rock crawling. Enough to protect paint when on dirt/gravel, and keep the snow/ice/slush from piling up by the door.

    Looks so much better with the flaps. I wouldn't own a truck without them. But that's only my little opinion.

    Well I'll be the odd man out had a 2011, 2015 and now a 2016 the very first thing I did was remove the god awful mud flaps. But then again Im not a mall crawler and could care less about a few scratches. Its called life. live it and quit worrying about a few scratches take the bithc out and run it like you stole it. When I retire and i go into a wheelchair then I might opt for the grandma look of mud flaps. Then again, nope I couldn't do it. Fugly as sh*t.20160920_190857.jpg

    I went with the oem flaps which I was happy with until I read this post. Didn't even think about them getting caught on things and getting ripped off when off road. Guess I need to be careful and pay attention to what I'm driving over. Those plasticolor 4x4 flaps look really nice!
