Help! What are these?

I walked out of arbys today on my lunch break and see a 2wd ranger parked next to me and I notice this..


Anybody know what these are? maybe a part number and how much? I took my mud flaps off and i think these will look good and cover that stupid hole that the mud flaps left.

Yeah, they are like a mudflap delete. i picked some up at my ford dealer for like $16 each...that might have been with the discount on it, not sure. This reminds me i still need to install them...

They are great for holding salt, mud, and debris. A great addition if you like rust creation.

they are no different than anything else. Salt and mud get stuck in the hollow part of the rear bumper should i take that off too? When you live in the salt belt you just have to keep up with crap like cleaning. no big deal if you ask me.

So Brian(Auto) hooked me up with a set of these and I love them. I think they finish it off real nice.

Back to the stone guards. The other thing i did on these was put some foam tape along the top edge. Hopefully that will help seal out the grim a lil.
