What parts of the truck are vulnerable to rock chips when offroading desert style?

Yeah, I suppose I can divert that $300+ from the clear to some good skid plates. I like it.

Cool deal! Here's how I went: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/sliders-skid-plates-oh-my-warning-pic-heavy-9665/

Oh and I'm not sure they're still designed this way, and I still might be the only guy on the planet to have this happen to him, but check this out too: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/freak-accident-weakness-found-wheel-speed-sensor-7345/

Wow, great write-up on the speed sensor, sliders and skid plates. Those Hefty products are ridiculous. I also did some reading Tank's thread and became frightened. I'll give your sliders and skid plates thread a thorough read tomorrow. Thanks for the posts.

I understand most of the replies are talking about the exterior paint and that cool, but I would highly recommend keeping an eye on your rear shocks as they seem to get chewed up pretty bad after some serious off road running, same goes for your tires.

In my opinion the shock covers could be a lot better...
