mudflap critters - creepy post of the month.

hi folks

ok, if you are at all squeeeeeemish, a member of peta, a vegan, or pride yourself on good taste..........

exit this thread right now________________________________________.

anyone left?

good, so vvvvvelcome to friday fright night/tales from the airstream crypts....

recently while traveling though kentucky during a big rain i noted how well the enkay mudflaps blocked water/road debris from reaching my trailer. i could see them doing the job via my review mirrors.....at 60mph really amazing.

later the sun appeared and i pulled into a truckstop for fuel.

while pumping diesel i looked back at the still clean trailer and then glanced down at the mudflap......what is that stuff on there?

so a few days later

i was home

and the airstream was away in the crib.

the BIG flaps were off with the hensley bar.......doing whatever they wanted.

so imagine my surprise

when at home,

in the driveway i saw this!

funny i didn't see anyone lying in the roadway.....

maybe someone had tried to grab a ride.......

Hello Frederic -- At first I thought you were having a little fun with that last photo, but I did recognize that your question was phrased seriously. I've read folks in these forums that like the Enkay Rock Tamers. See: http://www.mudflaps.com/

If they are blue, you should take your truck to a specialist immediately!
