Trust me I am ready to put them on as well. Took one off today on a blasted curb. Just can't see putting it on the truck I am trading in next week. But the new one is in, got to see it, but they have to fix a few things before I sign on the dotted line.

I just don't know how they will work backing into pavers. My oldman hauls alot of blacktop and seeing that the flap goes out words i dont know if they will work that good. All the guys i see who haul blacktop put the flaps inwards.

I have always hung my backwards, they do collect some asphalt so on the new truck I had the flaps mounted farther back so I can hang them forward. I am going to mount the lifter on the bottom of the bed behind my taillight brackets as to pull the flap forwards and up.

Mackman check your PM.

Thumbs up

[QUOTE=marylandkw;189767]I saw a new toy on a truck the other day and I just gotta have it.

It was on the mudflap and looked like a cable going to the bottom of it and an assembly at the top that pulled the cable in thus lifting the flap. These lifted up when he shifted into reverse.

Problem is, after countless hours searching the web I have been unable to locate them. Anybody here know what I am talking about? Direct me to a website or vendor?[/QUOT

Went to Google-image and entered "truck mud flap saver" and nothing that you describe came up. I'd speculate he tied a cable to a series of pulleys, then manually pulled a cable to lift the mudflaps before putting the tranny in reverse. You can easily do it yourself IF you're mechanically inclined.
