It’s the tires. It’s an expensive capable off road vehicle that is going to get scratched, rocks thrown and God knows what. If your not prepared for that spend $7k and wrap it or put on some small street tires.
I had two heavily modified and lifted Tacomas w Falken Wildpeak AT3’s, no I did not have this problem with either of them.

We're going to keep having this discussion every few weeks for eternity aren't we? It's always the same format too.

Guy #1 points out how bad the Goodyears are.
Guy #2 agrees.
Guy #3 says you need to buy $1000 mudflaps.
Guy #4 denies there's a problem and all tires do it.
Guy #5 says he changed to a different tire and the problem went away.

Then the process repeats.
Yeah, but I made a video of it. Lol

Bullshit iv had plenty off road tires that didn’t throw rocks like this , these are pure shit! Yes they may throw one here and there, but not like these.

DSS? I've got the same steps waiting in a box at my house for over a month. The mounting brackets are still backordered.
These are what I put on mine , still have got rock chips that sneak through gotta have ugly mud flaps and change the tires

It is no joke I ordered the badlands sasquatch like you did and was going to keep the sasquatch tires and wheels for a while at least, but the rocks were flying as soon as I took it for the first ride, so I got a new set of tires and wheels with Nitto Trail Grapplers and no more problems.
The thing is you like me now have a Bronco that is geared and set up for 35" tires and there are so many new tire and wheel combo's out there that fit perfect and look better than the stock ones and it is so easy to sell the stock ones for $2500-3500 getting back the $2495 we spent on the package in the first place and still having the 4.7's with front and rear locker, sasquatch fenders and high clearance suspension to me makes it a wise choice (looking back now).
This reads like someone trying to convince themselves of certain truths that may not be so true.

Good to know its easy to sell the stock ones. I am still waitinf on my Bronco but am worried about everything I am reading with the gravel and paint chips. Where are the best places to sell these tires while recouping most of your cost? Just list them on here or are there better options? Thanks!!
you can list them on here and hope the buyer dont read this thread

I haven’t really been worrying about this, and I don’t think I’ll start
