Mud flaps off..

So, today I removed my mud flaps and started to wonder if anyone has had issues with crazy damage to your truck as a result. I pulled them off to accommodate larger tires, and then noted that alot of trucks do not have flaps at all. I know that some damage is inevitable, but over time, what should I expect...and besides, any ideas if Texas does or doesn't like those of us with big tires and NO flaps..?

 

i just got my truck(07 trd OR 4wd) saturday (so i have had it almost 4day) and i took front off today. thinking i may just trim them by like 4 or 5"s and put back on. stock tire size.

 

I took my front ones off about a month ago, haven't noticed anything but a little extra mud on the door if i go through a big puddle, nothing big.

 

I'm pretty sure Texas doesn't give a f*** whether or not you have mudflaps. I see 3/4 and 1 ton 4x4 trucks running without them all day. That said, I trimmed my front flaps to even from the ground with the backs. I prefer the look and function over having nothing there at all.

 

I've had mine off for 3 years. It has taken it's toll some on my rocker panels. Nothing too major but some paint chips and some wearing of the paint in spots.
