    Default Towing with Rock Guard / Mud Flaps

    I have an F-250 Super Duty running 35x12.50 R 20s and I cringe at the thought of throwing a rock at my soon to be delivered Craz.

    Does anyone on oversized tires tow with something like this?

    The offset on my wheels means a bit of meat sticks out on the sides so I'm entertaining the idea of something like this that easily comes off and on.

    I realize they are kinda gay looking but considered what'll be behind me I may just deal with the goofy look if they work.

    TIA

    I built my own version of those. Agreed they are hideous, but chips on the hull are worse!

    The other alternative I have seen is a bra that goes over the bow protecting the hull. Take your choice bra or mud flaps. Why do I always think of Spinal Tap when mud flaps come up?

    Thanks! I'll need to fab one up soon! Looking at your bumper, seems to keep you from rolling coal on your boat too

    It sure does, but I have to make sure and clean it off after any type of a long trip so it doesn't stain the bumper.

    I'll be ordering Rock Tamers this year unless Dusty mocks me up a new version of flaps .

    I agree they are ugly but I'll def be using them. Same setup as you RC.

    I use them as well. The worst part is when I drop the boat off for a service and have to drive home with them on without the boat. But they do protect the boat!

    Haha, I'm bad about leaving them on from the first time we go to the lake until the end of summer.

    I use them. Only wish I had started using them earlier. Well worth it!

    But they are ugly. Would you only use them if you have larger tires? Do the stock mud flaps do any good? I like the Idea of a Bow Bra, any links to a good supplier?
