    FYI...RekGens are currently 20% off for their "July 4 Sale". Ordered a set today, 7/11 so don't know how much longer the sale's gonna last.

    Got mine pre-sale a month or so ago. They look real good. I suspect they shield some of the gunk, dirt, rock, etc... probably not all but more than nothing.

    My RekGens performed very well over the 4th of July weekend when we went off road plus. My truck would have been coated in mud had I not had them. Plus our roads in general are pretty bad so it keeps the rocks from kicking up and hitting my truck and cars behind me.

    My OEM flaps are 9" width so I just went with the stock, which is 11". I have 265/70/17 Wild Peaks so the stock should work fine.

    Thanks! I took my OEM flaps off a while back because they got caught a lot on the trails out here. This will be nice to replace them with.

    I have the stock mudflaps. While they do save the paint for the most part, the part in front of my rear wheels is peppered with rocks from going off-road.

    Are they worth it.
    No idea I've never had them.
    I would guess a lot of gravel it would prevent lower rocker panel damage. But then I have rock sliders. I'm gonna say no.

    I really want some sliders to prevent rocks flying on the front area of my box and rear doors. Its around 1400 for a set around here, I can’t do it just yet. Well and of course they do protect your cab when off-road.

    I considered Husky, Weathertech, and OEM. I was looking for the best ground clearance. They were all about the same.
    I went with the OEM, they were cheaper and fit perfectly.

    Using Rekgen with OEM lift and 265/70-17. Didn’t realize how much crap the tires sling until these were installed. Recommend.

    Regular and just adjusted them out as far as they would go. Here is an older picture when they were new.

    Yeah, I would have gone with OEM but from what I could see there is no OEM version for fender flare-less trucks.

    If any other SR people need some, the Weathertechs feel like an OEM product with very nice fit/finish.
