You know what....I checked out the mud guards and none satisfied me at the dealership.

The ones that they had one when I picked up my RAM have the Dealer name on the bottom brushed aluminum.

I actually think these mudguards look the best on my truck and my next step is to take the mudguards to a blasting
shop and have them airbrush the Dealer name off the aluminum. I will take pics to show you guys later.

I wash my truck about every week and every week the worst area is behind the tires. Additionally in Michigan the summer road work causes all kinds of tar, stones and ect to get kicked up. I've also found much less rust behind the wheels on old trucks when mud flaps are on a truck. So, yea I'd like to have mud flaps but I'm not sold on the look. If I did I'd go with the Molded mopar parts.

Can anyone post a picture of a truck with these on them?

My $0.02 sez, mud guards would last me about 2 seconds, or right up until the time I hit the first sippy hole.

I can see these puppies bustin' off when the stinky stuff hits the fan. Yeah, I might catch a little extra grit and grime, but according to the pretty stickers on the sides of my truck that read "OFF-ROAD", I reckon that's what she's for.

I hear ya, Mike! My “Pebbles” almost lost her marbles the other day when I told her I used diluted glass cleaner on my dash.

YOU DON’T USE GLASS CLEANER ON YOUR DASH!! NOW THE SON-OF-A-BITCH IS GONNA START CRACKIN’ AND DON’T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN IT DOES AND I WANT THESE CEILINGS PAINTED AND NEW CARPET BECAUSE I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THE SMELL THE VACUUM CLEANER PUTS OUT EVERY TIME I VACUUM AND…”

The carnage lasted for the better part of an hour. I escaped relatively unscathed by swearing on a stack of Dianetics – by L. Ron Hubbard that I would use the stuff the people at the car wash said for her to use on her Camaro.

Then, I made the mistake of suggesting that it may be a good idea for me to consider the purchase of a suitable dash cover...


“…AND YOU NEED TO CHANGE OUT THE CEILING FAN IN HERE I WANT NEW GLOBES AND NEW BLADES THEY COME IN A KIT AND IT’S NOT HARD TO DO EVEN YOU COULD DO IT AND I DON’T THINK THAT’S ASKIN’ TOO MUCH NOW IS IT AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA HAVE FOR SUPPER WHADJU EAT TODAY I HAVEN’T EATEN ANYTHING AT ALL TODAY DAMMIT AND I'M HUNGRY AND...


So, you see, Mike. You really should count your blessings…

I have a 500 foot gravel driveway. One trip down the driveway and when you get some speed up on the paved road the gravel stuck in your tread starts making all those dinging noises as it flies out. It will send you right to the auto parts store for flaps.

A lot of the dinging you heard were the pebbles hitting the fender well. Having been through the same thing in my last truck, I was thankful they put the flaps on at the factory.[sm=smiley4.gif]
