Another Goodyear Rock Throwing Thread...

[JonDW29]

I haven't had much issue on the road, but definitely still hear rocks bouncing off of my slider steps. I've been on the fence about mud flaps. The damage potential to other vehicles may be what puts me over the edge.

IAG Full steps are nice!

IAG Full Steps are really nice and super easy to take on and off.

Those do look awesome and fit the vehicle well. Do they connect right to the rock rails and help from flinging rocks also?

Connect right to the rails. Put them together and on in 5 minutes and can take them off in 2 minutes. I guess if people want to just go with just rails while they are going over boulders they can easily take them off. Probably won't be that guy or maybe once in a rarity but nice to know. That is a great feature that you can just keep your existing rails and they easily connect.

I swapped to Yoko Geolandar G003 and Method wheels at delivery but moved the Goodyears over to my F150. Mostly paved roads but those things will find rocks wherever they hide. Fortunately the wheel well coverage is a bit better on the F150 and the Rhino well liners dampen some of the flinging.

How are you liking the G003s? I'm looking to dump these Goodyears ASAP to avoid the rock throwing issue.

Took mine off road for a week and it looks like someone shot my fenders with an automatic bb gun...multiple Knicks on doors....gonna order the RSE sliders..the maybe a cheap mudflap for the front and cut em down so they don't look rediculous

I have Rekgen mudflaps on the front and now GoRhino Dominator steps.. can hear them pinging off the steps still but it definitely seems like they aren’t hitting the paint as much. Will be switching to either Nitto Recon Grapplers or Toyo AT3s

No issues in the city on the pavement. You touch gravel and she’s throwing them. Halo’s will be here tomorrow. Will let the rocks bounce off those. Easy to repair.

I'm not in a place to review them since I only have about 150 miles on them, but they definitely look great and have a ton of meat on them. How they last and their noise level only time will tell.

I’ve got a chip down to the metal on my passenger door. I don’t even drive off-road. I got rokblokz for the front but not the back. I think it’s going to look kinda stupid. I intend to take them off once I wear the Goodyears out and put on new tires.

Do the KO2s have an issue with rock throwing?

Instead of a rant, this one is a theoretical question. For those of you that have the Territory MTs and are MOSTLY on road driving, do you still have problems with rock throwing?

I live a long way from any OHV trails and therefore will be mostly on pavement (insert mall crawler joke) so I don't want to pull the trigger on mud flaps until I absolutely have to...

Get em if you like them. The biggest thing they protect from are the rocks that don't come out till you're doing 70 on the highway. Those are the ones that absolutely rip apart your paint and rear fender flares. I can send you photos. I got the RokBlokz ones and abused the hell out of them. Crunched them on rocks and bent the shit out of them, they're fine. Also bonus if you're a weirdo like I am and enjoy the look of mudflaps. Just my 2 cents
