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

[BrianBormes]

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.

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

Good stuff to know! Thanks for the video. I know I’ll be on the lookout for flaps once the market gets more options.

Quick and easy mitagation attempt. But I find it odd that you are placing the blame on the tire, but no blame on the choice of wheels. The wheels look good, but there is more to consider when choosing a wheel beyond looks. What is the offset on those Methods?

Offset does not help, but when I was on the stock wheels they were still throwing rocks and chipping the paint, so its still an issue regardless. offset is 0, so 35mm more than stock

True, on my 10 other vehicles they all have larger lug open tread tires and they don't throw rocks. Even my BFG KO2's don't grab rocks like these.

That extra 1.5 inch past the flares will cause some chipping.

With the reports about how easy they puncture the problem should sort itself out shortly.

Rally Armor makes a set I'll pick up if my Go Rhino tube step doesn't do a good job catching the rocks.

I considered those universal ones, once they make a form fitting bronco one I will be ordering some right away, I like their style

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.

I looked at their site last week for this reason, I like their products and was going to call and ask, but never did
