I came up with this idea when I bought my Bronco Raptor almost a year ago and after the first couple of desert runs, I noticed the rear shock reservoirs were getting sand blasted and there is no protection for the trailing arm ride height sensor arm or module. I came up with this mid-flap protection idea I have seen get popular on other desert trucks and applied it to my Bronco. I am using UHMW plastic for the flap and stainless hardware for mounting. The best part are both mid flaps mount using the existing oem holes in the body mounts, so no fab work or holes being drilled. Literally a 5 minute install for both flaps. Once mounted, you forget they are even there. Right now I am hand making and testing them myself. I have test flaps on another local Bronco owner, as well. We have been testing them for almost a year. They are doing a great job protecting the rear trailing arm height sensor arm, module and the rear resi's on the shocks. They definitely work. Even if you don't off road, they will still protect from any road debris you might kick up on the highway. I am gauging interest here with this post to see if I may start making them to sell. My goal is to keep both sets under $100 and also have replacement flaps available, cheap. I called them Brap Flaps from the beginning and it just stuck. Let me know your thoughts or questions. Thank you.
