I just went the same route. Great product.Ordered Mudbusters on Wednesday and they arrived Saturday. I was installing new tires and wheels and took the opportunity to install the Mudbusters. Great instructions and took about 2hrs while on 2 post lift with tires off. Good coverage and they should definitely keep the mud off.

They will take the abuse!I installed mine last week. My only concerns are how well they will flex when rubbing trees and when dropping into a ravine.
I'm also going to add a brace to the back piece behind the rops bar. I don't think the 1 little screw is enough there.
Il’l probably put mine on tomorrow.. with spacers and wheels they’re very much needed!
I have no interest in these but if that's your thing, cool
They aren’t the best looking but they work well keeping the mud off of you and out of the cab.
I’m not a bogger but if the trail is wet mud is flying.
That's my problem, they look so out of place that I probably wouldn't appreciate how they work. I also don't think the mud is that bad
This.With the wheels and spacers it’s bad. VERY bad for the back.

I'm with you in the look @ToddACimer. I had them in the cart on black Friday but couldn't bring myself to pull the plug. I'm running a little bigger tire, but factory wheels, so the mud on the sides isnt too hateful. It's been SUPER sloppy with rain in Ohio the last month though, so in my daily deer-feeding run the machine (and garage) have become quite caked with mud under the rear. There are soo many crevices under, it takes foreverrr to clean it out. I think a set would be nice for easy clean up and keeping mud out of the footwells (I use for storage on longer rides), so I'm going to try to fab up a version that doesn't stick out quite as far. $35 for a 4'x8' sheet of 1/8 inch HDPE at Menards, I figure I should be able to come up with something pretty elementary that will fit my needs and not stick way out under the rear. Mounting is really the only question mark, as i haven't been able to find a thread that documents the mudbuster install very well.
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and document it when I get around to figuring it out.
I’m with you, cracks and crevices in the 5 seater are a pain. I made the original for the 700 it was a pain and time consuming. Then about 2 months after I made mine mudbuster started selling some, I just bought mud busters this go around.
I want to be not frozen, mostly dry, and decently clean. For the most part I don’t care how it looks to accomplish that. I’ve gotten to a point in life where I give zero f***s and want to be comfortable, I gave up proving things to people and wanting their approval a long time ago.
My goal now is to help others accomplish the same.
And mine were only the dinky ones on the rear. I'm now full coverage all around. They make a yuge difference.@JTW without mudbusters and @Plumber32 with - same trails so you can see a difference ... notice JTW’s mid panel and gear in back of his ride

My wife went on a ride after I had just added aftermarket wheels and I happened to receive mudbusters on father’s day a few weeks later ...
Thanks to you I care about nothing any longer. Thanks ....I’m with you, cracks and crevices in the 5 seater are a pain. I made the original for the 700 it was a pain and time consuming. Then about 2 months after I made mine mudbuster started selling some, I just bought mud busters this go around.
