I ditched my mud flaps the other day I feel the tires look bigger lol. Plus even with them, I was slinging mud and crap up on the fenders anyways...so what the hell. O and the mothers mag n alum polish with a powerball does wonders.

 

better, that was the first thing i did when i brought home my truck

 

dude truck looks great. i did the same (see my most recent thread) i have some pics of the rear w/ no mudflaps. love the look of your truck, we basically have the same truck, just different badges.

 

I was thinkin abt dointhat im glad you posted pics... is it hard? they just snap off right?

 

there was just two hex headed or flat screws and a push in pin thingy in each one then they just pop off and I couldn't believe the mud and crap that fell out from behind them.

 

^^ on your truck you will have to unbolt the mudflaps then the bracket. its real simple

 

yeah just lay under them and look. mine were so rusted though i had to break them off

 

Yea I just went out andlooked at em t looks simple but Im at my girlfriends house and there is a lack of proper toolage to get it done now...

 

X2
Although I had to cut mine off.

 

toolage - word of the day

 

haha .. I try but yea so Ill be taken those off tommorow. A couple people have told me to take em off cuys it will look better so this was the final straw or thread if you will...

now im doin it

 

it took me 6 years to get around to removing mine, but after i did it i thought "why did i wait?"

 

yeah it looks good if you have fender flares and stuff. If you have a regular xlt, then there are holes on the body if you take them off.

 

Looks better without the flaps.

 

small hole vs big rubber.. lol

 

I need to take mine off also just haven't got around to it lol

 

i dunno, i still think it looks better with them on if i have to deal with that hole....lol. wtf was ford thinking? i am still working on the mud flap problem. i will have mine off without holes showing...possible body work.

 

I threw on some aftermarket fender flares.. you could get a plastic retainer push pin thing like they use to hold plastic interior pieces.. paint.. and push in.. no hole.. no problem..

 

The only thing I dont like is ford made the mud flaps part of the fender flaires so when you take them off you can kinda notice there was something there at one time.

 

yeah, or the fender flares, i don't know how those would look. maybe i will try that plastic retainer push pin thing. or if i get nicer, bigger tires i can just roll with the fender flares..

 

Took mine off the other day and the truck looks nicer imo. Plus it gave me something to do.

 

Nice truck. Looks good.
