Are Splash Guards Worth It

[commsguy78]

I've never had them but just purchased my first white truck, and coming from Grey I didn't realize how quickly the white gets dirty. Literally drive home from car wash, instant dirty.
Do the splash guards help? I've never had them but considering if it will keep my truck looking cleaner longer.
I'm hesitant because I like the look of the tire treads from the rear, and I don't see them on trucks often.

Yes. Especially with the running boards. They are a pita to keep clean, and the splash guards help immensely.

Yes! yes and yes they are worth it. keeps running boards cleaner and reoad debri down for the sides of the truck.

Thanks ill order a set. Has anyone tried the Rek Gen Merica mud flaps? The oem, husky, and weather tech ones all looked not too stylish to me. These merica ones seem to look alright but can't find any f150s out there with them on the forums.

Why would you buy mud flaps that have holes right where you need to block dirt from going?

Man those are ugly (IMO). I went with RokBlokz. Hate the name, but like the style personally

Good point.
@mxwrk Can we see your truck with those Rokblokz by chance? I was looking for something that's low profile and doesn't stick out much.

No great shots of the front. These stick out an inch or so but work for my wheel setup.

Thanks! They look good on your truck. Very Nice truck. I have stock tires though may be too aggressive with stock, might give them a shot though

Grab some wheel well liners too. It will black out the inside to match better IMO

Yes. Have them on my white truck, wife did not have them on her white SUV. Her SUV always looked dirty compared to mine. So I ordered and installed them on her SUV and it stays much cleaner.

Factory OEM on both my F150 and her Tahoe

You must have the by law here in Alberta. The law says that the tip of the mud flap (splash guard) must go to the centre of the diff cover.
