My bronco is covered in rock chips already. DIY mod to avoid rock chips

[TennesseeBronco]

I have sasquatch outer banks with bash plates. I live on a gravel road and take about half the gravel with me every time I leave. I believe my tube steps deflect most of them. Over 8k miles and I haven't seen any chips on the side. Now I just pretend I'm listening to a symphony every time I leave while listening to all the rocks pinging off my bash plates underneath for a couple miles.

i had same issue on my gladiator with wild peak allterrains..got rid of them for mud terrains and prob went away mostly, as the wider gaps pickup heavier rocks that dislodge easier before they get thrown high at your vehicle....got mud flaps for bronco from ford accessories for 59 bucks front only

Gatorbacks can be had for $350

The mounts, build quality and the design are really good

Why do you think those gatorbacks are “incompatible” with sidesteps? Do you think the gatorbacks will fit with the 4wp sidestep?

I guess the "stone ejector" molded into the tread really work!

I just emailed Rok Blokz to see when they will have something for the Bronco. I had them on my 2020 Raptor and was pleased with the fit and look.

Maybe some of you guys could also drop them an email to help push them developing for the Bronco.

How do they have Maverick flaps but not Bronco?

I've seen a couple Broncos on the road but not a single Maverick yet.

I hear Mullets are in right now...

I'm not sure where you are looking for mud flaps, but I got a full set, front and rear, of the Ford OEM mud flaps for $84.00 on eBay.

They don't even look too bad. But it sounds like the real first mod should be to ditch the Goodyears.

Pretty Much any tire will throw rocks

He was talking about the gator back mudflaps they run you close to 900 for the whole set front and back but there the best quality out there they can be had a little cheaper. They are made to use with the factory rock sliders too. You got to pay to play

My 2021 bronco (400 miles) is covered in rock chips already. Here is a quick video on a easy DIY mud flap to save your paint. Yes Ford has 2 mud flaps available, 1 set does not fit SAS, and the other set is ugly and $500.

Yes these wheels push the tire out 35mm over stock, but majority of my miles were on the stock offset wheels, so it is still something to consider for everyone.

I had a step-side pickup when I was on Maui. I had the bed sprayed with a Berliner and did the rocker panels as well. Looked great and protected from the gravel storm as well. Would look pretty trick on your ride. Thinking about getting mine done from the lower detent line down.

I did the same with bedliner on the 87. It worked well and looked far better than the Eddie Bauer tan strip (also repainted the hardtop white). I see that becoming very popular on these Broncos as they age.

Yep, that's the ticket. I've seen pics and heard of people doing the entire vehicle. Sounds not cheap. Lovin' the wheels there.

I guess I was looking for the Mud Flaps without the Bronco or Kicking Horse Logo?

The Less Expensive ones look to be just as wide as the Gator Backs, but not as long. And no logos.

I would also lineX in Body Color if these do not work well.

I did that myself for about $90 and probably 5 hours of my time. I was a broke college kid at the time. That 2 part bedliner material from Napa proved to be brittle and cracked over the following 20 years. I would certainly recommend a better product for the new Bronco like Linex or Inyati professionally applied, probably under $500 for that lower section between the doors. The fact that the doors come off makes it an easier install.
