New truck needs some toys

Since my new truck is at 3300 last I checked, it could be born as early as Monday... I have been shopping for accesories for it. I already bought the Husky liners. But am having a hard time finding mud flaps I like. My last two duallys have been outfitted with Husky flaps from day one. They do not have anything for duallys at present.

Also been looking for wheel to wheel running boards. I bought some from J&J Enterprises back in 2001 for my first dually. 3" outer stainless steel tubes with a ribbed stainless steel stepping surface with rubber inlaid for traction. They were about a grand back then, and well worth it. When I got my 2011, I found that J&J was out of buisiness. Not finding anything else I liked, I removed mine from the 2001, made some custom brackets, polished up the stainless, and installed them on my 2011.
I have bee looking for something similar, and striking out. Those 19 year old boards have served me well, but it really is time for new ones.

The reason I like good mud flaps and running boards is because of the amount of gravel/mud/dirt roads we travel on. With the running boards and mud flaps hardly anything makes it onto the paint.
  • Love my DuraFlaps, no drill and fit perfect every time. Had them on my 2012, then my 15. When I traded the 15 for the 18 I recycled them to the new truck... They still look new.

    Funny enough, I had the J and J boards on my 2003. They still looked like new after 10 yrs of salt etc... Factory boards can't even handle one winter without needing a bunch of polishing in the spring.
