Especially when they’re shooting rocks at everyone’s windshield behind them.

You must have confused fender flares for mud flaps. Or maybe you haven’t figured out how basic physics works yet?

That’s a question now. Thanks for protecting the sensitive, mods.

People’s concerns about the tires kicking up and throwing rocks, dirt, mud, debris and small dogs against their own body panels and other vehicle’s windshields are valid.

I expect to get this rig covered in mud and dirt, which will cause chips and scratches. I’ve done that with every vehicle I’ve ever owned and yeah, scratching a new car sucks. But it comes with the territory in my mind when owning these “lifestyle” rigs.

I’m not a big tires beyond the wheel wells guy, but it is fairly inevitable when putting big tires on your ride. I’d like to limit it by getting skinny 34/35” tires and back spacing that limits pushing the tires outside the wheel wells while not causing rubbing at the same time. Hopefully that’s fairly easy.

Yeah, no clue how I missed these or why they were never shared any where until now.
I desperately need someone to make a set of flares like this for the new Bronco now.

These we would fine but would look a lot better if they came out with some that matched the paint color for a much cleaner look. I personally hate the look of those black trim piece bc they fade quickly.

So what do you have to say to all the guys that have concerns with gravel and mud scratching and covering their Broncos? it is not unreasonable to think that removing fender flares increases the chances of flinging rocks into the air.

I must be weird, because actually like the original fender flares. It really help sell the overall look to me. Maybe once I see them in person, I'll prefer them off, I don't know.

I agree - it doesn't look right. I don't like the no fender/tires sticking way out past the body look.

Maybe don’t drop tens of thousands of dollars on something you’re worried about scratching and then take it out rock crawling. ??‍

Look, I don’t like tires sticking out, either, but I’m not trying to act like those fender flares are doing much to protect the guy behind me.

I’ve had too many rocks hit my Mustang when I lived in Florida from trucks with tires sticking out from the body that I can’t stand it. Maybe the tires sticking out wasn’t the issue, but I don’t think it helped.

If the guy in front of you hits your car with debris from his tires, there’s no amount of fender flare that would have prevented that from happening, unless those fender flares were attached to the back of his vehicle like, idk, mud flaps.

Looks like we have different views on what angles rocks can fly off a tire. Cool.

I like the big ones better than the small ones and no flares a lil more than that. But I like the option to put them back on for driving in the rain.

 

[Anthraces]

I like the look of No fender flares but man when you get off road in the mud that stuff goes flying! My truck doesn’t have any flares and it chucks mud 30 foot high. Not to mention it makes my windows muddy where I can’t see anything... so flares are nice to have to stop the mud from landing on your windows or getting all over you inside.

Yeah imagine that mud flying into the bronco with the doors off. I like the look on better, though I bet there will be some great after market replacements too

Hopefully this will suffice for now until someone can get some better shots.

These were taken as they were coming off of the Moab Rim trail. Having run that myself a few times is a pretty tough trail. I’m hoping someone got footage of them tackling the obstacles.

It doesn’t matter which look we like best. In 3 months the crackheads will have modified our Broncos for us. That is way too easy to get them off. Clever marketing from Ford, now they can sell us 3 sets every year. $$$ Also, it looks like a teenagers tuner car without the flares.

I'm with you on this one. Maybe leaving them on will wind up being the new "uncut" version.
