Product Overview

Gatorback Plate Finishes

Here are the different plate finishes

At a glance

Customer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: buyers repeatedly praise Gatorback/SharpTruck mud flaps as premium, heavy‑duty, great-looking, vehicle-specific products that provide excellent protection, with standout customer service and fast shipping. The main negatives are high price, occasionally challenging/long installations (especially rears/dually), and periodic hardware/instructions/packaging issues or minor fitment quirks on certain trims/oversized tires.

What Customers Liked

  • Thick/heavy rubber, substantial weight, rugged/OTR-grade feel; holds up for years (5–10+ years reported), flexible in cold/snow, doesn’t “sail” at highway speed; strong brackets add stability.
  • Look “sharp,” “classy,” and OEM-like; logo/plate options (Ford/Chevy/Ram/AT4X/Z71/flags, etc.) get many compliments and add ‘pop’.
  • Many report perfect fit/‘like a glove,’ good tire coverage, options for offsets/oversized tires (e.g., offset versions preventing rubbing), adjustable positioning via slotted holes.
  • Significantly reduces mud/road salt/slush on running boards/steps and sides; helps prevent rock chips and protects trailers/RVs/boats; improves cleanliness on gravel/dirt roads and in winter conditions.
  • Often installs using factory holes and avoids drilling into metal body; videos and written instructions frequently cited as helpful; many install without removing wheels (fronts especially).
  • Consistently praised for responsive support, warranty replacements for tears/rips, quick resolution of shipping damage/wrong parts/missing items, and proactive communication/updates.
  • Fast delivery (often 2–5 days), accurate orders/fitment tools, good packaging noted by many; easy ordering and exchanges/returns.
  • Removable lower section on some models appreciated for added clearance during off-roading, then quick reinstall.

Things to Consider

  • Frequently described as expensive/‘hard pill to swallow’ (some citing $600–$1000+), though many still say it’s worth it.
  • Rears and dually setups often challenging/time-consuming; some recommend removing rear wheels, using a right-angle drill, clamps, or a helper; alignment can take time.
  • Some find written directions vague/confusing; hardware not clearly labeled (washers/spacers), left/right not distinguished, videos not always model-specific; “no-drill” marketing criticized when drilling in liners/plastic is still required.
  • Occasional missing screws/washers/clips/parts; mixed metric/SAE hardware complaints; plastic fasteners/clips stripping or pulling out; desire for stainless/black hardware and better washer/spacer labeling.
  • Some reports of rubbing with oversized tires/turning lock; minor misalignment of holes/templates; driver/passenger side fit differences; not perfect fit for some newer model years or with wheel-well liners/fender flares/steps.
  • Several note rear support brackets feel ‘necessary’ but are not always included; frustration at needing to add brackets separately or not being told upfront.
  • A few cases of brackets coming loose in transit causing scratches; damaged outer boxes; occasional wrong color/plate shipped.
  • Silver fasteners/washer heads stand out; some plates/finishes streak or rust (rare report of rust forming on logo); desire for thicker metal in certain kits.
  • Some note flaps hang low for off-road use; risk of tearing in deep snow, tall grass, or trail obstacles (though removability helps on some models).

Chevy Extended Mud Faps

I purchased the extended mud flaps that go over my stock mud flaps. I had a bit of difficulty putting the 1st 2 on. But once I figured it out, the next two went on without a problem. They look really sharp in my truck too! Looking forward to my XL "Sharp Truck" TShirt! Thanks!

Installation was quick and straight forward. I chose the stainless as I am very much an old school chrome guy. They matched the z71 Chrome Sport package perfectly. Very heavy and much better than standard plastic mudflaps,,much more lexible when slamming a frozen snow bank.

These are hands the best mudflaps on the market. Nothing compares. Easy installation and perfect alignment from the ground up on the front and back.

Will it fit with splash guards removed? Instead of placing over splash guards

- John on 4/7/2022

That set will not, you will need this set if you would like to remove the factory guards, www.sharptruck.com/truck-hardware-gcr203k-z71-2

Elevate your 2020-2026 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD/3500 HD (Single Rear Wheel) with the Truck Hardware Gatorback Z71 Mud Flaps. This complete set, featuring both front and rear mud flaps, provides superior protection while adding a distinctive look that celebrates the off-road prowess of your Z71 package. The officially licensed Z71 logo is die-stamped into a polished 304 stainless steel plate, delivering a high-quality finish that highlights your truck's adventurous spirit.

Front and Rear Mud Flaps

The Gatorback Z71 Mud Flaps are custom-engineered for a perfect fit on Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks. These flaps install over the existing factory mud protectors, offering significantly more tire coverage and protection compared to other mud flap options that use a finishing cap for a more OEM look but provide less coverage. The front flaps provide 7.5" of additional tire coverage below the OEM protector, while the rear flaps offer 9" of additional coverage, effectively shielding your truck from road debris, mud, gravel, and more.

Constructed from 1/2" thick heavy-duty virgin rubber, these mud flaps are built to withstand harsh road conditions and reduce wear and tear on your vehicle. Each flap weighs 10 lbs, ensuring stability while driving, preventing sail, and maximizing effectiveness. The polished stainless steel Z71 logo plate, measuring 10 1/4" x 5", adds a rugged and premium touch that complements your truck's iconic styling.

Effortless Installation

Installation is simple, requiring no drilling into the truck body. The Gatorback mud flaps use existing factory mounting points and include all necessary hardware for a secure fit. The straightforward installation process takes approximately 15 minutes per flap and can be completed with standard tools you have at home. These mud flaps are compatible with step bars, power boards, and side steps, making them versatile for various truck configurations.

Heavy-Duty Design for Lasting Performance

The Truck Hardware Gatorback Z71 Mud Flaps are engineered to provide long-lasting protection and a rugged appearance. The combination of heavy-duty virgin rubber and the polished 304 stainless steel Z71 logo plates ensures that these mud flaps can handle challenging environments while maintaining a sleek, stylish look. The quality craftsmanship and durable materials make these mud flaps a perfect addition to your truck.

Key Features

  • Z71 Logo Plate: Features an officially licensed Z71 logo on a polished 304 stainless steel plate, adding a rugged and premium look to your truck.
  • Enhanced Tire Coverage: Provides 7.5" of front tire coverage and 9" of rear tire coverage, effectively shielding your truck from road debris, mud, and grime, ideal for single rear wheel configurations.
  • Heavy-Duty Virgin Rubber Construction: Made from 1/2" thick virgin rubber, designed to endure tough road conditions, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle and ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Effortless, No-Drill Installation: Uses factory screws and includes custom-fit brackets for a secure and straightforward installation, offering a premium, hassle-free experience.

Terms

  • 304 Stainless Steel: A high-quality stainless steel known for its excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and harsh weather conditions. It is ideal for automotive applications where exposure to the elements is common, ensuring long-lasting durability and a polished finish.
  • OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Refers to parts made by the vehicle manufacturer. These mud flaps are designed to work with OEM mud protectors for an ideal fit.
  • Sail: The movement of mud flaps due to wind or speed, potentially reducing their effectiveness. The weight and design of these flaps help to minimize sail.
  • Virgin Rubber: Rubber that has not been recycled or reclaimed, ensuring superior durability and flexibility compared to recycled rubber.

Warranty

Truck Hardware Gatorback Z71 Mud Flaps are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This warranty covers the rubber portion against tear-offs for the lifetime of the product for the original owner. The warranty provides peace of mind, offering a replacement if the rubber flaps come off due to normal wear and tear. However, it does not cover damage resulting from abuse or regular wear on brackets, plates, or mounting hardware.

Product Care & Maintenance

  • 304 Stainless Steel: To maintain the polished finish of the 304 stainless steel plates, clean them regularly with a soft cloth and a mild detergent cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to maintain the polished look.
  • Virgin Rubber: Clean the rubber portion using a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or petroleum-based cleaners, as these can degrade the rubber over time. Rinse thoroughly and allow the mud flaps to air dry for the best results.
