I have the factory mud flaps and live in Montana and have been satisfied with them
this winter.

Now the troll primal-hunter will jump on your back.

If we ever hear from him again.. I dont think we will.

you guys are ruthless!! Ha Ha Ha. I'll go with the factory flaps as the dealer has already been figuring the price with those installed. She said "if nothing else, i WILL sell you the flaps." I only had to see one of the H3 in our lot with mud up to the roof. thanks guys and primal hunter for making this post a comical one.

I'm an urban dude, but better than being the poor hillbilly primal-hunter troll type. I used no flaps for a while. After installing factory flaps the spray and muck was reduced some.

I have no plans to install mudflaps designed for an 18 wheeler.

That's what's great about this forum, information and entertainment all together.

I did notice without flaps when I went through a mud puddle the door handles and steps were covered in mud and with the flaps no caked on door handles and better on steps.

Hello fourtofour:

you must be a dealer or someone who is satisfied with a poorly designed product. Or maybe worse you H3 has never been in the mud or snow. You must be another urban pretender who use his H3 to get his morning's coffee.

FORGET THE MUD FLAPS - THEY DO NOT WORK.

The above discussion is why one has to be careful on the internet. There are a lot of idiots out there who have never seriously been off road in sand, mud, or snow. They sit around and are dishonest in their comments. I have had both brand of mudflaps. The problems is that the tires stick out further than the mudflap. At best, the mudflaps can only reduce a small amount of whatever. Save your money for the fender flares - and don't be the first to buy. Wait and learn from others before buying. It is so sad that the urban pretenders out there can't be honest. Best of luck.

So basically what you are saying is that the mudflaps are not perfect and don't protect the whole vehicle. What the hell is perfect in this world? Nobody expects them to be perfect except maybe you. I am more than happy with the protection I get with the OEM flaps since it is far better than nothing. An added bonus is it only cost me $35 and I am protected until something better comes along. If you can not understand the thought process, sorry, but you should probably just run along now

You guys are a great example of group think. Honest discussion is not allowed. You all bought your mudflaps - and cannot be honest with others that you now own an inferior product and cannot warn others, that the results are very very far from perfect.

I will run along now and will not be back.

Adios you losers!!

I saw an H2 last Feb in VT that had a good solution. Oversized heavy-duty rubber flaps were connected to a carabiner clip which was then fastened to an eye screw. Couldn't tell exactly how/where the eye screw/bolt was attached. But it worked great. I was behind the driver, road was covered in slush, and no rooster tail. The setup made for easy removal of flaps for off-roading.

You're a fukking moron! Apparently an "honest discussion" is one where everyone agrees with you.
