Mud flaps are ugly, so I went another direction with vinyl wrap protection

I bought this thing to go camping and 4 wheeling, so in reality I care very little about rock chips, however I think multiple layers of vinyl wrap will probably help anyways. Even if that wasn't the original intent.

I dig it.

The vinyl wrap scheme and colors look great with Cyber Orange.

Think a layer of PPF would've made it even better!

yikes.

Looks great but how does this keep rooster tails off the side?

It doesn't, I was joking. It should keep rocks from chipping the paint though.

I'd still be wondering how many trips down gravel roads I could get before rocks punch holes and start to shred the wrap. Looks cool but nothing is protecting the wrap.

Vinyl is actually pretty durable and even if it gets messed up, it's cheap. My last Jeep had a full wrap, was used almost exclusively off-road and never had any issues except where I actually dragged it on a boulder. I think most are missing the joke though. I don't give 2 craps about rock chips, I was just making fun of everyone constantly talking about mud flaps for an off-road vehicle. Damage comes with the territory as far as I'm concerned.

This is the type of off-roading I made my living in for many years. I've probably put more 4x4s on their roof than most people have owned. These days I'm taking it a bit easier, but I don't plan on treating my Bronco with kid gloves.

I'm not driving in this pic, I was holding the camera, but the guy who is should be familiar to anyone with a Bronco since he's now not only part of the Ford factory racing team, but also helped develop the Bronco. He and his brother will be starting 1st in the 4600 class at KOH tomorrow morning.

Bronco looks awesome! Love your comanche!!! I had one when I was 16. Many moons ago. I still kick myself for messing it up. Blew the engine and tore up lots of stuff playing in the mud and deep water.

My Atari is Better than Coleco

Looks pretty darn cool
