What exactly do mudflaps do?
I can only think of one use for having mudflaps on my truck and when its rainy and wet out i notice it cuts down on the spray from my tires more so then Trucks/Cars who don't have em. Any other uses? And does anyone else notice they cut down the spray when Rainy/Wet?

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
Mudflaps are like a condom, they provide protection.

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
I took mine off and used the plastic fasteners to cover the holes.

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
I don't notice the holes at all really. The only bad thing about running no flaps is (obviously) the bedsides get dirty and the bumper catches all the mud if you happen to drive through it.

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
They prevent salt from eating my beds clear coat. Mine fell off when backing into a pile of snow and now you can see faded spots on my bed due to the salt flying up.

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
They provide protection, but my stock ones are so small, the truck gets covered with dirt spray anyways. lol

Re: What exactly do mudflaps do?
i have way to many pits in my windshield because of vehicles with inadequate mudflaps. mostly it's lifted trucks and sportscars.
