Hey guys, John here with realtruck.com.
Today I want to show you how to install the Gatorback mud flaps on this 2015 GMC Sierra
Denali 2500.
Okay guys, you can see here we've got our mud flaps out of the box.
We have both the front and the rear sets, and these come with everything you need to
get them on the truck, all your hardware to put them on.
And they also have this really nice Denali logo on the bottom.
These are available with a lot of different logos that you can get for these.
So go on to the website, check, see if they have what you're looking for.
So let's get these on the truck.
So guys, what we're going to do then is we're going to go ahead and take these screws out
of this factory mud flap and get this off the truck.
Now it's a little bit easier if you just turn the wheel, you don't have to take the tire
off to do this.
So just crank the wheel, so we can get in here to get these off.
And then once you have all those screws out, just grab hold of this and just give him a
little pull and off it comes.
So we're going to set this to the side, clean this up a little bit here, and get our new
Gatorback mud flap ready to go on.
All right, so what we're going to do then is we're going to take our flap and we're
going to set it in here, and get it lined up where we're going to want it.
And you want to leave about a half an inch of the flap sticking over from the fender
well at the top.
It's going to be right about there, which looks pretty good, because right there is
our old screw hole there.
So and then what we're going to do then once we have this in place, we're going to take
self-tapping screw that comes with our new flaps and we're going to attach this with
that.
Well this can be a little tricky guys, you can do this yourself.
Well if you can get somebody to give you a hand with it, that would be ideal.
We're going to stick this right here and drill it in there.
So what we're going to do then is we're just going to put our flap up here and we're going
to kind of eyeball it level on the bottom, and once we do that, then we're going to take
our tape measure and we're going to measure here, it's seven there, seven there.
So once we have that, then we're just going to take a marking pencil and we're just going
to mark in here along the edge here, so that way we've got somewhere to line this up so
we know where it goes, so we can just let it loose until we're ready to actually start
putting our screws in.
And then we can just move it back over here and line up our mark and boom!
We'll have it in place.
All right, so we're ready to go here guys.
We line our mark back up that we made on the backside back here, and then we're going to
go ahead and attach our screw and I'm going to put this one right here in this corner.
There're four screws available that we have to put in here, so we're going to put another
one in here in the middle and another one over here on the end as well.
We've got this one on this side as you guys can see, it wasn't really hard to do.
So we're going to jump over and do the one on the other side, and then we're going to
show you guys how to do the ones for the rear.
But when you go to do the one on the other, remember, you had seven inches from the floor
to the bottom of your mud flap, and you're going to want to make sure you do that on
the other side.
So we’ve got our front ones on guys, we're ready to install our back ones.
What I did here is I just went ahead because we have this truck in here on our vehicle
lift and just raised the chassis up enough to let the tire drop down to get to this bottom
bolt.
If you don't have the ability to do that, you can take this back tire off to get in
here and do it.
So let's get this one off and I'm going to show you guys how to put the back one on.
All right, as you guys can see, the back one peels off just like the front one did, so
we're going to go ahead and do the same thing, get this cleaned up and get ready to install
our rear one on here.
So we're going to do the same thing with the rears that we did with the fronts guys.
We're going to hold them up here and make sure that we have about a half an inch sticking
out up here at the top.
Once we get this in place and kind of get an idea of where it's going to go, and then
we're going to take our self-tapping bolt, put a little pressure on it, and there we
go.
Okay, so we're going to do the same thing we did in the front guys.
All the measurements can be a little bit different because we've got the truck up in the air
now so we can get to that bottom one.
And we're going to line this up, get this thing where it looks like it's just about
level.
Then we're going to take our tape measure, and then we'll measure the back side to make
sure it's the same.
Screw it down just a little bit, and double check the front.
Looks good right there, so then we'll do the same thing we did in the front.
We’re going to take our marking pencil, we're going to mark this in here just like
we did on the front one.
So I'm going to line this back up here and then I'm going to go ahead and install one
of these screws.
We're going to put this one right in here, just like so.
Make sure they're all lined up still, everything looks good.
All right, and then we're going to take this last one and we're going to put it in.
Now this last one's going to be kind of tricky to line up guys, because you don't have anything
sticking out the back side over here.
So you're going to have to kind of use your judgment here as to where this is going to
be at, and it looks like it's going to be right about there.
So let's go ahead and put this one in.
Okay guys, we got the one on the other side, everything's all done.
You guys can take a look at how awesome these look on a truck, and really that's how quick,
easy, and simple it is to install these Gatorback mud flaps under your truck.
So remember guys, until next time, happy motoring.
I love my new Gatorback mud flaps.
