    Took mine off at 200 miles. Sold them on eBay for $145.00 looks better without them to me, and I know once I start using it like a truck they WILL break.

    Removed my fronts as soon as I got my sliders. My sliders protect most of my rocker panels. I was tired of hearing them scrap going over speed bumps. I also realized they wouldn't survive offroading. I don't know where you guys drive that you are picking up and throwing so much gravel. I rarely hear any hitting my sliders or my truck when I'm driving on roads.

    I really like my wheels, but I wish they weren't 9" wide. Even if the flaps were on, when it gets muddy, their is nothing to stop the mud from getting all over the side of the truck. I don't think I will look for larger fender flares at this point either thou.

    I took mine off, got a good deal of cash for them on ebay. Of course, I don't really do any off-roading and I'm running close to stock tires. To each his own.

    I took them off but didn't like it much cause the side of truck gets beat up with dirt rocks. So I cut off 3 inches of the bottom of the fronts and 5 inches of the bottom of the rears and put them all back on. Looks a whole lot better and no more dirty sides. My 2 cents.
