I have a white H3 and I'm tired of driving through a small wet patch in the road and having the truck look like it hasn't been cleaned in a week.  How much do mud flaps really help for this?

A little hardly seems worth the price then.

I guess we all have different opinions on them.  While I didn't care for the look of them, I put them on anyway...now I am used to it and it doesn't even phase me.  I find they help a great deal.  I don't get near the dirt on mine now with them.  Of course the flaps get dirty LOL.  Will you still get some dirt? SURE, but I don't get nearly as much.  Also, I put them on to avoid rock chips, etc from debris being thrown up. As for being worth the price...I paid less than $70.00 shipped for all 4.  I consider that worth the price in savings from more washings AND touchup paintjobs.

I can buy the GM version locally for $70 so I guess I'll just pick them up tomorrow.  Thanks for the help.

Husky makes a set that seem a little wider than the GM ones.

I have the Husky set that are a little widder than the GM guards.  The rears don't do much, but the fronts are well worth the $ and effort.

They work with the Nerf Bars with no problems on my H3x.

I find that they stop all the muck from splashing on my H3x.

I put the Husky flaps with the H3 logo on the rear flaps right after Hummer homecoming last year.  They look great but probably don't keep the truck clean.  I just got back this evening from Country Roads in Beckley, West Virginia.  The right rear mud flap was the demise of my entire right rear wheel well cover unit.  Running some big time boulders and the mud flaps were taking a beating.  Had to back up and take a different approach to some boulders and the mud flap got trapped and ripped out the entire wheel well.  I took the time to take the mud flap off of the wheel well and left the wheel well cover in W.Va.

Ahhhhh.....So you're the owner of the orphaned wheel well liner ad mud flap.....

As for the mud flaps, sometimes there is just no point:

    I reused my leftover truck flaps that are cheap generic units from Autozone:
