    They do work fairly well, but you will still have some debris hitting the side of the car just ahead of the rear wheels. I don't know of anyone who has come up with a way to eliminate this yet. Just gotta live with it I guess......:smilewinkgrin:

    If you look close you can see the flaps.

    Only had fronts. They do help with crap hitting the side of the car.

    Tried something like that, but as soon as the car leaned over a bit or it hit a bump the dam things were scraping on the ground.

    Only thing I can think of that might be better (and I want to try it sometime) is to get some of the "broom stick" type of flap like you see on the back of RV's and install it behind the wheel opening. Kinda ugly, but it would probably work great.

    On our old 4x4s we used conveyor belt. Tuff as all get out.
