Looks good but I am thinking the alum angle may not be strong enough for the constant movement ( I used steel)BTW I added pieces of metal anchor straps at the outer ends and that made for a solid flap hanger mount

Thanks for the feedback guys. Alan, could you please elaborate on your metal anchor straps sentence ? Are you saying you put an anchor strap at the outer ends of each rubber mat or a strap attached to the outer end of the "crossbar" ? Would then both of those get braced forward to some part of the truck frame ?

I did notice today after about a 30 km run that there was indication of " blowback" of exhaust fumes up the bumper a bit and I may just try a couple of exhaust deflectors tomorrow. The crazy part was upon close examination of the rig, I noticed a 9/16" combination wrench sitting on a flat part of the rear bumper....nice ride on those new Dodge's eh ?

I have no experience with the brush type mud flaps, Ray but I've seen lots of them.
