    Well it’s my fault for driving fast off road and in the future will take roads much slower . Been going to my fishing hole that’s about a 15 mile gravel / sand road . Doing 25 mph with the new ko2s and got these after and to add insult to injury I didn’t catch any fish the last 3 days haha.

    Try some mud flaps if you aren’t doing any crazy wheeling where they are at risk of being torn off.

    That's normal, it's to minimize the look of dings and dents. Unless I'm missing something.

    With this setup, I don’t have a rock chip anywhere. Lots of gravel roads and usually 25 mph is the slowest I go lol

    That's called orange peel and OP is talking about his rock chips. Unless I misunderstood your comment somehow.

    I feel like between my OEM mud flaps and Predator bars, most gravel is deflected.

    All of the Prairie Toyotas come with mud flaps. I really don't understand why you wouldn't want them on all cars and trucks.

    I had thought about installing mud flaps, but didn’t.
    I then drove around central Oregon in the Sunriver and Bend areas for 3 months this Winter while traveling around 5,000 miles on mostly cinder rock graveled roads in the snow and ice.
    You can see a lot of trucks out there with mud flaps and running boards. Seems like a good thing to protect your paint.

    I’ve never had this much damage on a vehicle, and in such a short amount of time.
    Oh well. As it’s been said, it adds character.

    Rock blasted, paint, paint protector and fender flare.

    After washing the truck:

    Main reason I went with STT pros, Cooper claims they don't pick up rocks.

    In your situation I don't think tire choice would have made much difference.
