Mud Flaps - should I / should I not?

[Xtinct]

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Are the gravel, mud, rocks, etc. a problem more with truck wheel/well size and design than other vehicles? I don't have mud flaps on our SUV (Q7) and haven't had any paint chipping issues.

The Raptor tires are basically pitching machines for any small rocks or large gravel. Go down a gravel road. I dare you!

I have Rekgen mudflaps and like them. https://rekgen.com/

Damn, these are nice. Really like the ones with the red flag too. But doesn't look like they're making them for the Gen3 yet.

Thanks, having never owned a truck I didn't realize this was even a problem. But I see everyone's point now.

I put the WeatherTech flaps on front, rear and mid-ship. Wouldn't be without them on any of my vehicles.

That’s Vortex on my Gen1, will be on my Gen3, too. Looks even better on full view of the Raptor.

I hope it looks better on the full view Because just looking at the flap looks like the back of an 80's Camaro rear window louvers.

Rokblokz XL's, good coverage and protection for your paint, as the factory tires do like to pick up all of the pebble projectiles on the roads!

Nothing wrong with mud flaps on a truck like the Raptor, makes more sense to have them than not.

They help protect your paint and mine are flexible, I did accidentally rip my driver's side rear one off when backing up in my driveway hitting a bush as bothe the front and rear stick out just a tad and I just reinstalled it with no issues.
