Video Transcript for Review of Access Mud Flaps - Custom Fit - A62ZX

Hi, everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today, we're looking at our Access Rockstar Custom Mud Flaps with included heat shield. Folks, this also gives you a full width coverage on the back of these trucks that it fits, and you have an adjustable height as well and you have a diamond-plate finish. Now, these are a custom-fit application fitting 2020 through current GMC Sierras and Chevy Silverados, both 25 and 3,500 series, diesel only, so make sure you double-check that fit guide over at etrailer.com where it says My Vehicle Information and everything like your make and model, cab style, bed length, et cetera. Be sure you're getting the right parts the first time. Now, again, once this is installed, look something more or less like this.

Keep in mind this is just a generic version. It may not be the exact same truck, those kind of things, but it gets the picture across, I think. Now, this is a full-width mud flap and shield, so it's gonna shield everything you're towing from mud, rocks, debris. On the bottom left image there, you can see that steel bar across the back or aluminum bar rather, sorry, across the back. And then on the top right, that is what this looks like with everything trimmed out that comes that way, stock from the factory.

So, again, you're gonna have a bag full of hardware, right This is gonna have all your brackets that mount to the truck side and then go through the mud flap material, this 5/16-inch thick rubber, and that's gonna be what hangs onto the truck with just a couple of spring-loaded pins, or flip pins rather, that you can then pull off if you wanna take it off when you're not towing. You have the heat shield, of course, that I mentioned. You have two diamond tread covers here. And so, when these are installed, it's gonna be something more or less like this. Again, keep in mind I'm kinda limited on space here, so hopefully that does it justice.

You have those two pieces and then you have two, again, of these 5/16-inch thick smooth rubber, and they have some pilot holes pre-drilled into 'em. I'm sure you can't see 'em right now on the camera just 'cause they're so small, but they are pre-drilled. You will need to drill out to the large sizes that you need to fit the bolts and stuff, and the reason they do that is, depending on which specific year and truck, a few of them have different spots where those bolt holes may need to go so you don't want just meaningless holes all through the rubber. So, just a few extra minutes of installation on those few trucks that need that, but it's not a big deal. I've installed lots of these before, and quite honestly, it's between a 15-to-45-minute job because it just depends on the vehicle.

But putting the actual mud flaps together is pretty straightforward, pretty simple. Now, these are gonna maintain flexibility and temperatures as low as -40 degrees. So, again, this rubber is nice and sturdy, but it also does have flex to it, so that's really good if that's what you want. You want it to be flexible in all temperatures, you want it to be able to receive impact but not hurt anything else obviously, and it needs that flexibility to do so. And what I like about these kits, again, they are just heavy duty. They do offer commercial-grade options for different vehicles as well, which in my opinion, these are just as good, if not equivalent, to those commercial-grade styles that they offer as well. So, again, easy installation. You get that diamond-plate finish. And these two aluminum rods, you're gonna have both of these. One on the backside of each of these. And inside of this hard work kit, there's about a half-inch thick, I didn't measure, it's still in the bag. It's about a half-inch thick, it looks like, and about eight to 10 inches long, give or take. And that slides into this half so far, and then the other half will slide over there. And all that gets bolted together, so you have a nice, firm, steady support system on the mud flaps, making 'em just that much more robust. Well, folks, I think that's gonna wrap our quick look together. Again, this is gonna be a great option for you to protect what you're towing behind your truck. I'm Steve with etrailer.
