Gatorback Plate Finishes

Here are the different plate finishes

At a glance

Overall sentiment is strongly positive: buyers consistently describe Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy‑duty, great-looking, and highly effective at stopping rocks/mud/snow from hitting paint, steps, and trailers. The main reservations are the high price and occasional installation/fitment or hardware/packaging issues, which are often mitigated by responsive customer service and strong warranty support.

What Customers Liked

  • Thick, heavy rubber with substantial weight plates; feels “OTR/semi-truck grade,” doesn’t flap at highway speeds, flexible in cold weather, holds up through winters, gravel roads, mud, and years of use; many repeat buyers across multiple trucks.
  • Significantly reduces rock chips, road debris, mud/salt spray on paint, rocker panels, running boards/power steps, cameras, and keeps trailers/5th wheels/RVs cleaner and protected; coverage often better than OEM or plastic splash guards.
  • Looks “sharp,” classy, and truck-specific; logo/plate options (Z71, AT4X, Ford, Ram, Duramax, flags, black/satin/gunmetal/chrome) get compliments and help the truck stand out; finishing caps appreciated.
  • Many report perfect/vehicle-specific fit with factory-hole mounting, adjustable in/out positioning, good clearance with stock tires, and compatibility with certain trims/fender flares when configured correctly.
  • Generally described as straightforward with the right tools; helpful YouTube videos; bracket kits (especially rear/dually) add stability and make alignment easier; ability to install without removing wheels on some vehicles.
  • Frequent praise for fast shipping, responsive support, quick exchanges for wrong parts, replacement parts/plates/flaps shipped rapidly, and hassle-free warranty (including tears/rips or shipping damage).
  • Replaceable plates; removable lower section on some models for off-road clearance; ability to adjust flap stick-out; some like drilling only into plastic liner (not body).

Things to Consider

  • Most common complaint; many call them expensive/overpriced (often $600–$1000+), sometimes compounded by needing separate bracket kits/plates; some say alternatives may be “good enough” for less.
  • Mixed experiences: some installs are quick, others take hours—especially rear/dually, with wheel-well liners, rock rails/steps, or limited access; right-angle drill and/or removing rear wheels often recommended; alignment can be finicky.
  • Paper instructions sometimes vague, lacking steps, inconsistent with videos, or confusing (hardware ID, left/right orientation, templates, washer placement); requests for better labeling, templates, and model-specific videos.
  • Occasional reports of holes not lining up, needing to drill/elongate slots, bend/trim brackets, trim liners/trim pieces, or create homemade brackets; some rubbing with oversized tires/offset wheels; a few cases of poor fit on specific trims/years.
  • Multiple reviewers note drilling is still required (usually into plastic liner or flap), so ‘no-drill’ feels misleading in some kits.
  • Some dislike plastic clips/nut inserts pulling out/stripping, mixed metric/SAE hardware, bolt length issues, flimsy/galvanized or plastic brackets at high price, silver hardware visible (wish black), occasional missing/mismatched hardware or parts.
  • Some flaps/plates arrived scuffed/scratched or boxes damaged; brackets loosening in transit; a few wrong items shipped or missing pieces (spacers/washers/clips), though support often resolves quickly.
  • Some note low ground clearance depending on model/height; concerns about snagging in deep snow, tall grass, or off-road obstacles; some wish flaps were longer/shorter depending on use.
  • Plate finish can streak/stain (e.g., gunmetal), color/gloss differs from expectations, logos not level in a few cases, and some wish flaps came pre-slotted/pre-drilled for easier install.

If you have a Bronco with the Sasquatch package you know vulnerable you body is to road spray and rocks. These mud flaps really protect your body and are the only ones I would want. Easy install and a perfect fit.

These are great mud flaps.  I like the fact that you don't have to drill any holes to install them.  Instructions are clear and easy to follow.  They installed quickly.  They are heavy duty.  Will take a lot of trail abuse.  The ability to remover the lower flap, if needed, on trails is a good idea.  Very please.

Ordered on Monday and received on Friday.  The kit was complete with no missing pieces.  I used both the install video with a review of the instructions prep for the installation.  I found it helpful to separate all the components by type.  The installation followed the instructions and was straight forward.  I have a Westin Rockrail and step but it does not extend past the line of the wheel well.  The fit will with the rails with no additional adjustments necessary.  I needed to remove the fender flair on both sides to be able to install the spring clips.  Half of the fasteners in the wheel wells put up a fight to come out, and I used a trim tool to help pop them out.  The flaps are expensive but met my expectation and the weight should do a good job of knocking down the rocks off the tires and are thick enough to hold up to the abuse.  After installation the flaps fit into the lines of the wheel flair and the black blended well into the overall color scheme.

I am not actually a fan for mud flaps but wanted to protect the sides of my new Bronco.  I looked at all the choices and picked the Gatorbacks because of the look and installation process even though they are probably the most expensive.  They are top quality, nicely engineered, and I am glad I made the choice.

Do these mud flaps fit with side steps/ rock rails as pictured?
