I've sent several people over to these guys KayDenco.com
I've honestly never been a fan of the molded plastic type which are OEM'ish looking.

hey robert, how about a set of removable mud flaps that attach to your hitch receiver? would those be DOT approved? if so, you could put them on when pulling your RV trailer, and take them off when you don't. the ones i have seen are pretty cool looking. just a thought.

As to the law any dual rear wheel vech. must have a set of mudflaps or guards behind the rear most tandum axle, per Texas Traffic Code.

As for the molded mud flaps by Huskey I have both the front and rear ones installed on my dually and love them to death. No more mud/water spraying up behind the front wheel all over my clean truck. Plus the rear ones mount just high enough to clear the curbs the stock ones didn't last long due to them getting pulled off by the rear wheels. I'll get some photo's tonight and post them in my photo link in the sig.

That law sucks...I'd remove them after inspection if it were me.


No offense, but I'm not a fan of mud flaps. But hey, to each his own.


I'm sure a lot of people hate lifted trucks.

I had a nice sat on my truck and loved them. Went to the farm in Texas before going to rally at Caddo Mills and backed over an ant hill and tore the right one off and had to take the other one off. Texas says you have to have them on all the time, not just for inspection. Arkansas don't make us run them. I do like the looks of them on a Dually.
