nOOb off roader questions.....

Doug is correct, the factory front and rear mud flaps will get pinched and pull right off... Happens when your tires move up or you body drops down (into a ditch or between rocks)... and when backing up. The flaps (specially the front ones) are too damn long and stiff. The First Gen. soft/ shorter flaps were much better!

 

I'll be sure to remove those flaps.

I've never had them on my other trucks.

They only look proper on 18 wheelers.....

 

I'm under the belief that the flaps will fall off by themselves when they are ready... or when I change tires. I've lost a few of those tabs that hold them on.

I agree on the sliders. Makes a definite difference.

So far I still believe that you don't need to smash things to have fun. Going slow and being careful builds better skills. It's always up to you how hard you want to push yourself, if anyone complains, ask them who's paying if something goes wrong.
