Tint, Debadged, and PPF

[cconnorhtx]

Really happy with the way the truck looks just by removing the RAM on the doors - also removed the (redundant) 4X4 from the tailgate as well.

Amazon cheapo mud flaps are the bomb too. The rear fitment is so minor it doesn't even affect my military instilled (and service connected @ 70%) OCD either

Full front and rear hips PPF

What tint % did go with? Getting mine done tomorrow and still trying to decide.

Looks great. I went with the Amazon ones on the front only also as they looked the best to someone who hates mudflaps.

hahaha I feel that as I hate them too. These aren't bad and I can't see spending more on them - especially since I might only drive over some dirt, at the mall (maybe)

Agree. I’ll just remove when I do shit I’m not supposed to.

Why would anyone willingly install mudflaps? Asking for a friend....

I got tired of the rocks kicking up from the front tires and wrecking the Flares. These are subtle enough to get away with.

Back in February I took the truck on hunting trip and after crossing river there's about 9 miles drive on gravel. I got so excited to run it on Baja and within 30 seconds I saw a few rocks hit rear fender so I was doing the whole drive no more than 10-15mph. Let's just say my other truck without Baja mode finished that trip a lot quicker at 40 mph

People who actually offroad their trucks. The mudflap / offroad running boards do a killer job of keeping rocks from denting the shit out of the wide body when you are hauling ass offroad. The wide body takes a pounding without it.

In my experience fixed side steps do the same job. I have a set of GoRhino RB30 on my current truck, and even with big tires and widened stance, those handle all of the rocks that would otherwise be thrown at the side of my truck. Plus, they’ve prevented many a door ding over the years. I get quite a bit of satisfaction watching unsuspecting victims smash their doors on those side steps when they would have otherwise hammered my door.

That's funny about people hitting their door because it happened to me so many times. Once someone hit it and I step out of truck to knock on his window he never even talked to me.

Also I thought the off-road running board will do good enough to protect but it's not even close like mine 22 Ram BTS. First hunting trip on rho I started throwing rocks straight into rear fenders within 30 seconds of hitting gravel road. Never expected it since only had trx for just under 1 year and never took it on roads like that.

That’s good to know… and you have running boards on your RHO, and still felt you needed mud flaps in the front?

I haven’t received my RHO yet, so I’ll take that advice if that’s been your experience.

The GoRhino RB30 are pretty wide, though. Curious how yours would compare.

Yes I have Mopar running boards. I'm not sure if tires just kicked those up randomly but I felt bad enough to continue next almost 9 miles at around 10mph. Withing seconds on slight turn I saw couple rocks through mirror go strait into rear fender. It's a very rocky road that it's hard to even see any dirt on it.
