New mudflap on, stainless nuts/bolts to hold it on. Done deal.   Eddie (Honu) Member Username: Honu Post Number: 112 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 12:21 am:    thanks. thats what i thought. cheers. anyone use any aftermarket big truck mud flaps?   Blue (Blue) Senior Member Username: Blue Post Number: 46 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 12:00 pm:    keep in mind that even the stock flaps are prone to ripping off when the going gets rough...I don't think they really keep the truck any cleaner either. Maybe they keep spray down for traffic behind you, but you can't take care of everybody...   Eddie (Honu) Member Username: Honu Post Number: 117 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2003 - 11:00 pm:    true true
