For those seeking premium, rugged protection with a sleek, understated look, the Truck Hardware Gatorback Black Wrap Bowtie Dually Mud Flaps are the perfect solution. The black wrap finish provides an understated yet sophisticated black background appearance that contrasts perfectly with the bold Bowtie logo, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a subtle yet stylish aesthetic. Designed specifically for 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD (Dually Rear Wheel) models, these mud flaps not only provide the highest level of defense against road debris and harsh conditions but also elevate the appearance of your vehicle with their iconic Black Bowtie logos. Crafted with superior engineering, these mud flaps blend durability, style, and functionality in one comprehensive package.
The Gatorback Black Wrap Bowtie Dually Mud Flaps are built using heavy-duty virgin rubber, offering unmatched flexibility, durability, and resilience. Each rear flap weighs in at 10 pounds, ensuring that they stay securely in place even at highway speeds without 'sailing' or moving out of position. The front and rear mud flaps are designed to provide extensive coverage—5 inches for the front and 9.5 inches for the rear—effectively shielding your truck from rocks, dirt, and road grime that could cause damage. The stainless steel plates feature a die-stamped Chevrolet Black Bowtie logo on a black background with a hand-applied vinyl overlay, delivering a sophisticated yet tough look that complements your truck's design. The black wrap finish also helps protect the stainless steel plates from scratches and minor abrasions, ensuring that your mud flaps maintain their premium appearance even after extensive use.
Installation
- Front Flap Installation: The front flaps will fasten directly to the lip of the wheel well with the self-tapping screws. You can use factory existing fasteners if your wheel well has those available. If those are not available, use the included self-tapping screws. There needs to be at least 1/2" of clearance in the front between the tires and wheel well to accommodate the thickness of the flap. If your truck is equipped with step bars, power boards, or side steps, the Gatorbacks install flush with the wheel well, accommodating these accessories seamlessly.
- Rear Flap Installation: The rear mud flaps come with custom-fit Gatorback dually mounting brackets, which are essential for ensuring a secure, stable fit. These galvanized steel brackets provide a strong mounting point, keeping the heavy-duty flaps firmly in place even under tough conditions. The rear brackets utilize existing factory holes, eliminating the need for drilling into the truck body, although drilling through the mud flaps themselves is required. This installation method ensures that the mud flaps are tightly secured, reducing the risk of flapping into the tires. The rear plates, which measure an impressive 17 1/4" x 5", add a distinctive, robust visual element to your truck.
These mud flaps are engineered not only for protection but also to provide an OEM-quality look. The stainless steel plate with the Black Wrap Bowtie logo is expertly crafted for an authoritative finish, giving your truck an eye-catching, professional look while maintaining practical functionality.
