Installation Video

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).

Great Product !!!!

I installed these on the rear of my 2017 Tacoma. I researched mud flaps and wanted something that wasn't rigid and would last the life of the truck. These Gatorback mud flaps are exactly what I wanted. I used the Tacoma install video on Youtube to guide me through the installation process, so installation was very easy and quick. All of the components  of these mud flaps are great quality. I installed the most generic Gatorback model for my truck and think they look great. Only thing I wish was available was for the screws, bolts, and washers to be black. I'll probably order the front pair in the near future.

2018 toyota tacoma, I see the rear mudflaps, but do you have the front, too?

- Kevin Barnett on 6/16/2018

We do, the part number on the full truck set is, GCR81F-0~GCR81R-0, the part for just the fronts would be, GCR81F-0

I bought a '17 Tacoma access cab that came with no mud flaps. This truck has the stock, flat black wheel well flares also. If I purchase these mud flaps, will I need any additional parts since my Tacoma has no mud flaps now ? I really like the heavy rubber and do not want to get plastic or rigid mud flaps.

- Chris on 8/5/2018

The flaps will come with the hardware you need for installation.

In the install video, the inside aluminum bracket that is on the same side as the rear of the wheel is "aluminum" color, but in your pictures on the page description the piece and screws are black. How would I order the black ones ?

- Chris on 8/5/2018

The flaps come with a black anodized plate that in on the wheel side of the bracket. The install video was shot prior to the plates being anodized so they outside plate will not be the raw aluminum color.
