I haven't seen it mentioned (I did search), but I should be able to easily swap the Sasquatch fender flares for a standard set....correct? That would eliminate the really wide flares and have a better stance. Thoughts? Not sure I would want to change the shape via aftermarket, just the width.

Oh my god. Yes.

They are so easy to swap, you could probably just pull up to another bronco at a stop light, hop out and swap them over, and get back in and get away before the other person realizes what's happening.

I would love to do this as well. Never had a vehicle with tires past the fenders. I'm guessing more dirt and rocks on the side of the vehicles? More damage?

The fender flares serve a purpose, they help stop debris from being shot at the car behind you and protect the side of your vehicle as well. If you put smaller ones on and your tires stick out, I hope your windshield get broken before you break somebody else's.

Looking forward to seeing other future aftermarket options as well.

I imagine more than one person is going to find theirs missing, even when parked for a few minutes.

Anyone here with experience know if doing so will make a lot of dents in your paint (due to small rocks) on the side of the car?
Do you mean having your wheel treads exposed outside your fenders?

I mean, yeah. Your tires kick up all sorts of stuff and without fenders/flares to catch it that stuff has to go somewhere.... but it will be traveling more or less in a plane parallel to the side of your vehicle... but still against your vehicle.

The wider flares for the Sasquatch are made wider to acomadate the wide tires you put reg flares on you will have rock chips out of the asshole on your vehicle

Yep. Anyone considering doing this or aftermarket, pushing the wheel and tire out more....check your State's Laws on how much of the tire must be covered. Also know if you throw a rock and damage someone else's vehicle....you are liable.
