Broken OEM mudflaps devise

Hey guys
I was out doing some mild off roading today and happened to i snapped off the drivers side mud flap. As I know is seem to bee a common problem I was wondering what other people have done in regards to this situation.
My initial remedy was to just takeoff al the muflaps for a cleaner look, but my concerned with that is will it cause more rock chips in the rocker panel. I'm mot a serious off reader like most of you. Mostly just FS roads tho secret shooting spots I know.

Any input as to whether or not you run them and if not have you noticed am excessive rock dings

Thanks in advance

PS I know it's a truck and meant to get dirty and a little scratched, but as this is ,y first new truck I wanna try to keep it clean for a little while!

 

Check out the Husky flaps for our trucks. They fit and look great, and are much more durable than stock. I've had 'em for a year and couldn't be happier. A full set is less than the cost of one new OEM flap.

Good luck!

I have been running without mudflaps for over 7000 miles. I off road often on rocky roads and do plenty of highway driving. I have not experienced any scratches/dings yet. Fingers crossed eh

 

I get rocks zinging off my doors and mirrors with the mudflaps on

 

Im going to take mine off for off roading on the weekends and then put them on for commuting

 

A lot of people trim them also.

 

Take the rest of them off. Your lucky, some experience body damage with the stock flaps tearing off. 4 years later and no noticable chips or damage here

 

Thanks for all the responses guys. I've been thinking of trying the husky mud flaps even before I tore off the one flap. Think ill vice em a shot

Thanks again guys!!!
