The million dollar mudflap fix (for Squatch rock fling)

[USAGUY]

I'll mention this again as it seems to have gone unnoticed. The mudflats don't do much to prevent rocks from flinging on these rigs. I installed a set as you can see in my avatar and I still ended up with rocks inside the coach of the rig while driving the one gravel road I've driven on since I took possession of her. Fortunately I had no doors on it and the rocks went inside instead of on the doors.

It's a waste of time and looks horrible to boot.

. This may be the case with your Sasquatch, I’ve definitely seen a huge improvement with the mud flaps installed. I’m driving a nonsquash Badlands. Of course not a 100% improvement, dirt & road debris still get by but far less.

My flaps work really well. I modded the Ford ones.

Like I mentioned in the OP, I'm not looking for just any old mudflaps to throw on my truck. I only wanna use them when I need them, and quickly take them off when I don't.

Yeah the Territory tires are pretty rock happy. I just post my observations with this mod for anyone trying to fix the rock flinging issue with mudflats while still keeping the Sasquatch tires. It isn't a fix for us in my experience. You'll need to pick another method to fix the issue, such as swapping tires which is both expensive and will likely change the way the vehicle handles, brakes and your fuel mileage due to the increase in weight all other semi aggressive tires will add. For example the stock Territory tire is 52 lbs. Mickey Thompsons Baja Boss AT in the D rated 35" is 20 lbs heavier! 72 lbs per tire. And they aren't the heaviest. Go to a Nitto and its even more added weight.

Great work, how, what did you use!? I'm weighing rail, flap options. 100 miles on my new Sauatch and I heard the dreaded ping!
