They help shield your truck's body from rocks, mud, gravel, and road debris, ensuring your vehicle stays cleaner and is less prone to damage from harsh elements. The Z71 Logo Mud Flaps add a rugged, distinctive look to your truck with the iconic, officially licensed GM Z71 logo, embossed on a stainless steel plate with a black finish for a sleek and bold aesthetic.
The Truck Hardware Gatorback series is renowned for its top-tier quality, offering the ultimate heavy-duty mud guards that combine style, performance, and protection. These mud flaps have been carefully designed for a perfect fit, incorporating premium-grade materials that ensure long-lasting performance and resistance to wear. The set includes both front and rear mud flaps, each with a customized fit that aligns precisely with the factory fasteners, providing an easy installation process.
The front flaps provide 5" of tire coverage from the bottom of the fender to the bottom of the flap, while the rear flaps provide 7.5" of tire coverage. This extensive coverage helps prevent chips, scratches, and damage from dirt, rocks, and road debris, giving your GMC Sierra a pristine look even in tough driving conditions. With a weight that prevents them from sailing, these flaps stay firmly in place for reliable protection, no matter the terrain.

The installation process is straightforward and requires only basic tools, ensuring a quick and hassle-free experience. Make sure to allow at least 1/2" of clearance between the tires and the wheel well to accommodate the flap's thickness.
