Water, mud, rock, debris, fling solution?

Black Diamond with Wild Track wheels, 35s and 2" lift.

This thing slings everything it comes in contact with up the sides like im in the baja 12,000.

Fresh wash, one small puddle and its terrible.

Running boards? Mud Flaps? What say the brain trust?

HELP??!!!

My 2 cents, since you asked.
Learn to live with it. It's on offroad vehicle and supposed to be dirty. I let the rain take care of mine.

It’s a truck dude, why do you care?

I go wheel far too often to care about keeping my Bronco clean.

Besides, looks far sexier when dirty cause the ladies then know that you go do man stuff!

It’s not a pavement princess. I wash her once a quarter when I’m just bored. Or I get it super caked with mud. Otherwise, keep it movin!

4 doormats and some self taping sheet metal screws.
Problem solved.
You're welcome.

either put on sasquatch flares/mudflaps or go to a narrower tire with the same height as the sasquatch tires to reduce the poke

at least one other b6g has done the narrower tall tire route to reduce the splash (and to fit onto narrower trails)

Here's a video explaining what I did. No matter what, you will get mud on the side. My goal was to keep it off the door handles and windows as much as possible. Hope this helps!

I have a 2 door BL SAS and it does the same thing. I bought a set of mud flaps off Amazon. They take a bit to install the first time. But after that, it takes a few minutes to take off if you want to go 4 wheeling. Mud Flaps.

I like to keep mine as clean as I can, basically I use it on the road 95% of the time why wouldn't I. But when I go out to play I play hard. When I get back I clean it maybe detail it if needed, and run it on the Eye Lash Jeep runs.

I have some IAG front flaps never used I might let go cheaps, but we will have to do it the right way so we don't get banned (me that is) for not following rules.

I installed IAG mud flaps and ZRoadZ sliders and that reduced a lot of debris. You will never stop all the mud it’s the nature of the beast.

Stick to the paved mall parking lot?

 

[B-Wagon]

well, yall convinced me. ill never wash it again. If i do, no-one will know the offroad capabilities of this thing!!! PLUS i want everyone to be constantly aware that i drive in mud. the filthier it is, the more im utilizing it as intended!

looks like mudflaps it is. now to find the right set...

Really! Store it or sell it. You then have the opportunity to worry about some other silliness in your life. Tommy Bronc

And dont go to the Mall in rainy weather either!!

Seriously, you re not going to keep everything off the sides, etc. Decrease the quantity, yes; totally eliminate No Way !

Early chatter on the Forum included plenty of Mudflap recommendations. From the $400 Ford option to $12 Auto Zone generics. You will be pleased after slapping something on there.

Wow, a lot of put-downs by the old salts! Here's my thoughts, based on experience:
1) mudflaps. If you don't expect to do serious rockcrawling, but like rough unpaved roads and a bit of water & mud, the Mabbet/iAG (they're the same, other vendors sell them, too) will help a lot. I put on a set, snapped one on a serious trail, and Mabbet sent me a full replacement set. If that's your sollution, message me, and they're yours for the shipping.

2) If you do rough trails, then spring for more serious mudflaps, like the RokBlokz, which I now have and recommend. Consider GatorBack. The first, you can remove with thumbscrews and replace later; the latter, you can detach the lower half when rockcrawling. Either way, they offer significant protection.

3) A wide slider/full-length step will also protect your lower flanks. I have the iAG removable step, which I take off (about 10-15 minutes) when I go off-road, then re-attach to my OEM sliders later.

Thus, OP, your solution is quality mudflaps and/or a step or step-slider. Your needs, your budget. Two final caveats: 1) I've found that installing these things on a truck that's been in use for several months isn't quite as easy as those install videos show. They're usually on a garage-clean truck and the demonstrator has done it a few times. Your dealing with old mud and parts that don't align quite as easily as they're supposed to. 2) I recommend mudflaps as the minimum, while you shop for a step or heavy-duty slider. And 3) get them for the rear, too: it looks better that way, and you're being kind to vehicles behind you.

You want iAG/Mabbet rigid (don't bend on rocks!) mudflaps? Message me.
