Protect your car and your family from debris
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
If you own a truck, there’s a fair chance you do some off-road work now and again, and in this case, you may need a mud flap overhaul. Most mud flaps do what you would think, stop mud and small stones from being thrown back, or against your undercarriage. What if you are going fairly fast on rocky terrain and blast through some fist sized rocks? A stock flap may note be up to the task of stopping this kind of debris, and apart from your car taking the toll, you could also hit someone with the flying rocks.
I was camping once and reading a book in my tent when someone got into a truck near me and blasted off. A quite large rock banged against my tent, and actually broke off a screw on the frame. I mean I wasn’t in life threatening danger, but you could put an eye or a tooth out this way easily.
When taking a look at the products available I found the Husky SS Series Mud Guards very appealing, mostly due to the fact that it has a 13 gauge stainless steel plate molded right in. This makes it much more effective when repelling anything your throw at it, and much more durable at that.
I also loved that Husky lets you customize this product by applying a paintable matt black finish. Paint flames, henna designs, anything you want to customize it to your car precisely. They are also made for your make, model and year and come with a lifetime warranty which is not bad for a product so prone to wear and tear. If you take a look at some forums, like the Cummins Forum you can confirm my opinion, many people think Husky is unbeatable.
