Also known as splash guards, mud flaps can be an important accessory to any SUV or truck. In fact, mud flaps are so important that they're actually a requirement for certain types of trucks; mud flaps are useful for protecting vehicles and pedestrians from flying mud or rocks churned up by the wheels of a vehicle. Before trying to choose the ideal mud flaps for a vehicle, it's vital to understand the different types of mud flaps available.Molded Plastic:Typically, molded plastic mud flaps are designed specifically for a certain type of vehicle.

These mud flaps simply attach the to the back of a vehicle's rear bumper and tow hitch. Although removable, they don't have to be taken off and come in one size fits all.Steel:For those looking for mud flaps more durable than plastic or rubber, steel mud flaps are available.

Due to the weight, bigger bolts may be required in order to install aluminum diamond plate mud flaps.Drill Free Mud Flaps:In most cases, mud flaps have to be drilled in when installed. However, drill free mud flaps are available that instead of needing to be drilled, are installed using a fastener to prevent possible damage to the vehicle.
