Mud Flaps for 2008 Expy

[AnselAdams]

I live on a dirt road and really nead mud flaps for my expy. But I have the EB Limited version with power running boards. Does anyone know of a mud flap that will work on the FRONT wheel wells?

I am using basic flat rubber mudflaps mounted in the front wheelwells. The main reason I put them on was to stop the stuff from building up on the running boards.

You can see them in this picture.

Do you have the power running boards? Does the running board rub on the mud flaps when they move up and down?

I have the fixed running boards on an XLT. I haven't seen the power boards so I can't tell you if they would hit.

Ansel I have the same problem, power running boards, on a dirt road.
Did you ever find a solution?

According to Tousely Ford, they don't have the fancy body molded ones available anymore, they just have the standard flat ones.
I ordered a set for my KR with power boards. I'll take some pics and let you know how I mounted them when they get here and I get them installed. I'm not just putting them on because I'm tired of all the snow, salt and gravel on the board when it comes down, but because they said I couldn't.

No issues whatsoever. Misses by 1/4-3/8 inch.
I used the two factory screws on the front actually using the hole locations in the directions. I added a third with a stand-off to the inner fender well. A long screw and a piece of 1/4" fuel line trimmed to the length I wanted and it was perfect.

The rear I lowered about 2" from where the directions said to install it. I used the only one factory screw there was and added two more.

Wow looks good to me. I may do the same.

Next time (and I may still do it) I'd lower the front at least an inch also.

The extruded power boards can be loostened and slid back slightly if ever the front would want to catch on the mud flap.
