Re: [A/S] Bruiser (mudflaps)

[Bob Basques <bob.basques@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason I ask is that I had the Dually versions ordered (Grobowski 
$68), I just picked them up the other day with the Hitch, they have the 
same layout as yours, chrome strip top and bottom, only
wider.  Are the Chrome strips attached with Pop rivets, I think they are 
zinc coated - this aspect of the Mud flaps disappoints me a bit, they 
look real cheap from the back [tire] side.

I haven't installed them yet.  Trying to see if I know anyone with a 
right angle drill before I pull the wheels off.  I'm lazy, what can I 
say.  I just installed the trailer hitch yesterday, still a
couple of bolts to go, the Bumper struts need to be drilled slightly to 
fit tight.  I had to go out and get two new high strength (grade 8) 
bolts that were longer than supplied because of the bumper struts.

Because of the aluminum front of the trailer, I'm contemplating also 
installing one of the full length mud flaps across the back, but thought 
I would try out the wheel mud flaps first.  I noticed
that you have yours mounted fairly low,  ever pinch one between the tire 
and a curb, I hear they can be torn off this way, the tire just rips the 
mud flap off by riding up over it.  I was going to
mount mine three or four time higher than yours, sort defeats the 
purpose I know, but I also have a fairly large space to compensate for 
with the springs on a F350, lots of room for the truck to
squat under load.  Have you ever come close to maximum loading, do the 
Mud flaps get close to the ground?

Just some thoughts on the subject.
