Okay, so practically speaking how are they working?

I love the combo but would like to know if you plan to remove the step if you go off road? How many bolts per side and do they seem as solid when stepped on with two people? Any thoughts on using a dealer (if they would do it) to fabricate or would a good metal worker be sufficient?

Which other thread are they metioning in the previous posts? I will try 'find' as well. Great tool.

I would rather spend $100 on some flaps that work than having to pay to get both fenders repainted. Are there any custom mud flap companies out there?

I am thinking of putting the 3M Clear Bra on the flairs and getting the usky flaps. The GM flaps do not help much.

I disagree, the mudflaps are great. It's having expectations that will let you down.

I have a black truck, and for daily driving in Sunny CA, it is great for keeping sprinkler puddle spray off the sides of you truck.

It's all I need. I'm not expecting it to keep my truck clean when I'm playing in the mud.

X2! Black truck with 35's. They help quite a bit! Not 100%, but considerable.

Are they prefect, no. But they're a damn sight better than nothing.

forget the mudflaps, they do not work!!! They are a waste of your money, at best they reduce by 10% the amount of mud flying back.

HummBebe 02-19-2006 06:54 PM

You just wanna argue don't ya???

H3 Hummer 02-24-2006 04:31 PM

Just my facts. I got the H3 without the mud flaps and those bulky fender things behind the back door got a whole bunch of scrapes and rock chips in them the first month. After the first month I put on the OEM mud flaps and in the next 7 months I don't have any new rock chips there. So I guess I am lucky that the 10% extra coverage protected me so far.

Hope I have as much luck as you. I didn't have any chips yet and just put my front flaps on Tuesday.
