I just ordered from a Canada company called Mobile Truck Accesories a set of mud flaps that will fit the front of my Laramie truck that has those f**king special molds in the wheel well. The company that make them is called Airhawk Industries, the have a picture of what they look like.

 

a link? pictures?

Dealer ones fit perfectly and you could put two trucks 4 wheels for that kinda money, I believe mine were 80 or so for all 4 I forget exactly.

 

The only problem with the full rubber ones is that they don't survive a full year on my truck. I had them on my first Ram truck, and before the year was done I was either fixing them, or changing them out for better ones. I would rather pay a little more now, than have buy another set later.

 

I know I paid the EXTRA bucks for the full lifetime warranty, figured since I had the dealer install the MOPAR mudflaps that they will be under warranty if/when they start to fall apart. According to my dealer any MOPAR parts that they install for me are covered under it.

 

According to my Dodge dealer they are not covered under the lifetime warranty, the only thing that they cover is the installation. So you have a very good dealer if he will warranty the flaps.

 

Hope I don't have to find out. The rubber ones from Dodge look like they are pretty tough, very thick rubber. I figure they got to last at least 2-3 years and that's with me driving roughly 30k miles a year. Already have 14,500 miles on the truck and I just bought it the first week of January. Guess we'll see.

 

They take a good beating and protect the truck very well. I've been caking mine up with clay mud for the last couple weeks. Only issue that I have was one I was expecting. The one screw per flap that is secured to the fender liner with an expansion plug - they want to pop out when the flap gets really heavy. I expected that to happen and I'll be using a stainless bolt with some big washers to solve that problem.

 

The problem I have is that in Alaska when winter rolls around I can experience a cold down to -50 degree or worse. The last rubber one I had become very stiff in that temp., and when I hit something with them they start to break at installation points. But that was over 8 years ago since my last rubber pair maybe they improve the rubber and installation. I'm still going for the airhawk mud flap due to the chrome finish will add to the look of my truck compared to the rubber, not only that I put on a set of ATS Design Platinum Running Board custom length so they will pop even more.
