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.

Bronco Rear Gator Back Flaps

These were easier, in my opinion, to install then the front.  Even though there are two holes to drill, the template and backing plate make it very easy.  It lines itself up.  Very heavy duty flaps.  These will last the 10-15 years I will have this Bronco.  Great product and engineering using the existing mount points on the truck.  Installed two flaps very quickly.  Great product.  
Bronco Rear Mud Flap

This was the rear set of flaps for a 2023 Bronco Wildtrack.  I first checked the inventory of the parts shipped and was sent only 12 of the 14 nylon washers, so one side did not get a washer before and after the flap as illustrated in the instructions.  While things happen for the price paid for these, the QA/QC should have been in place to confirm 14 vs 12 washers thus four stars.  Combining the video and the instructions to execute the installation it was a relatively smooth process.  I used the top two holes installed at the factory that are holding the tab in place.  I had to elongate the hole on the flap on the passenger side to allow the flap to level.  The heavy duty construction of the flaps and the weight of the design should do a good job of knocking down and rocks off the tires and save a windshield of the people behind.  The flaps themselves blend into the body lines and color scheme of the vehicle.  Overall I am glad that I purchased these flaps vs the ones made in China.
Rear mud flaps for 2021 Ford Bronco

Flaps well built, hardware OK, missing parts unacceptable for this high priced item. The passenger side rear mudflap was missing its plastic retainer clip. See photo. Modified product to make it function without missing parts. Directions not quite up to the task as they listed 143 ft lbs to tighten factory tow hook bolts.  The factory bolts stripped out at 130 ft lbs. Checked the other side for factory install torque and they were only at 90 ft lbs. See photo.
Nice fit, perfect to keep the rocks down behind me

++ Packaging:  very well packed and clear instructions

+Assembly:  take the tires off and this assembly is a breeze.  These were much easier to assemble than the fronts and I was able to make parallel with the wheels easily.  Tip 1, if you have the plastic bumper don’t over tighten the self threading screws.  This will strip the plastic in a heartbeat.

Fitment:  Overall, pretty happy with how they fit.  Wish the backing plate worked with the plastic bumper screws so I could torque the screws down.  Also not sure 143 ft-lb for tow hooks is too high as I felt that I fatigued the threads past 140 ft-lb.  Tip 2, make sure to put blue loctite on those M12 bolts.
