    Replaced my broken mud-flaps with a new set of Husky's and was surprised with the amount of Debris collected in the front fenders.

    Upper plastic portion of Mud-Flaps were still intact, yet as you can see...quite a bit of leaves and debris still makes it's way into your fenders.

    If you haven't checked, please pull your front flaps and inspect yours...

    you will thank me later :)

    I broke one off a few months after buying my truck. Rather than fixing that one, I took the other side off too. They just rubbed on things anyway.

    The back ones are still there, though. They don't get in the way.

    I lost my front flaps in the snow. Replaced them with heavy rubber ones that I then had to get rid of for 33" tires. I never had any debris like that behind mine.

    Good to know stuff normally doesn't collect back there :)

    Debris was ALL from environment associated with previous owner.

    The stock ones didn't last long for me at all. The back one was so flappy and became torn, then started melting on the exhaust pipe so I just took all of them off and didn't replace them.
