    Flaps would look pretty silly with a high clearance bumper

    Honest question, though. How bad does it kick up rocks without?
    Or how much offset before it starts to?
    I've considered taking them off just don't want the side all f'd up from these new rock chuckers I put on.

    So far I like these geolandar x-at's except for they pick up marble size rocks. Always getting stuck in the tread then, tic tic tic tic tic tic.
    I'll pull over and yank them out.
    Like nails on a chalkboard, to me.

    Not anytime soon. That's a can of worms I can't afford to open right now.

    It's definitely a consideration. It was actually one of the things I liked about having top plates on my rock sliders, because they would deflect a lot of those stones. I was trying to keep my mud flaps as long as possible, but when I went to 295s the front mud flaps.. uhh.. self-cleared.. on a light trail run.

    35x12.5r17-rock chuckers they are! The KM3's never threw like this. The price of being cool I guess...

    I guess there's only one way to find out if the rocks will be flying.
    I only have 265's sitting at -7mm.
    My steps on the side might block a bunch.

    Yup. Usually if shipping hasn’t updated in 2-3 days I’ll contact the vendor and tell them it got lost
