    We need to buy 6-7 pairs of mudflaps--------haven't bot any for a long time. Used to just cut them from heavy rubber belting, but cannot find any of that near by.

    Any suggestions?

    Generally, how much are you paying?

    Are heavy rubber ones still the best, or have they come out with better ones?

    Thanks.

    Most truck and trailer dealers will give you mud flaps, I get mine from a trailer dealer in Vermont. He's happy to give them to me because it's free advertising.

    Rubber 24 x 24 (tractor) are around $13 each
    Rubber 24X30 (large Tractor, Standard trailer) = $14.50 each
    Hard Plastic 24x20 = $16-$17 each

    Hard Plastic last the longest esspecially if you get the braces for them. The less they sway and move the longer they last.

    6-9.00 per flap........plastic.......with or without KW name/logo.

    Appears my search is over.....I'll pay those numbers............

    I am surprised, frankly, I thought going to KW would be like going to Cat for parts.........take your banker with you!

    I hear those eco flaps are great because they are very durable and actually last longer than the cheap flaps. Not only are they durable but they save on fuel and also increase visibility during rainy days. Three in one package deal. I have a lot friends that love them because they aint gotta keep replacing them!
