I'm looking to do some minor upgrading to my Bronco and one of the first things I want to do is find the best value in good mud flaps. Any suggestions to aid my search? I had Weathertech on my 2019 Ranger and were happy with them, but they are a bit overpriced from what I've seen. Most of the non- drill type seem to be basically the same,Maybech etc., is there a difference?

I went with the OEM Ford option. I really don't like the obvious aftermarket look of some of the flaps, especially the ones that just look like downsized semi-truck mud flaps. You can get the Ford ones for <$50 when on sale, which is pretty frequently. The only issue for the fronts is if you have a rock rail, you need to cut a hole for them, but even after doing so, they look like they were original equipment.image.jpg

I added some $25 mud flaps I bought on Amazon. I kept the stock black Diamond tires and crash bars. I drilled and inserted nutserts in the rear crash bars on the rear side and drilled holes and mounted the flaps. I only put mud flaps behind the front tires IMG_1551.jpegIMG_1550.jpeg

Love the Bronco Script. I did something similar, except I spent way too much money on the script from Archetype Racing since they had an option to display your trim level with the script. I loved my Black Diamond stickers, so I took them off and made 1 into a patch.

from what I understand you can purchase all the different package stickers so you can add them back if you ever wanted to. I paid more for mine also from a local Bronco shop. They are better quality than some and are the ones they use when they are restoring a first gen Bronco.

Glad you're happy with them. Now I'm a once-upon-a-time trucker, so mudflaps are natural to me. The Bronco is, after all, a truck--of sorts. So I'm comfortable with truck stuff. I like the RokBlokz because they look "truck."
Permit me some friendly criticism: 1) Rear flaps are important as a matter of road curtesy. Those all-terrain tires kick up slush and sometimes rock to the rear. Behind you are other drivers, with their grills, hoods, and windshields. 2) Front only mudflaps look like "I got the first pair on okay, I'll do the second pair next Saturday."

I'll do the rear next Saturday. 😁
