Thought about using that where people are having problems chipping the pain when dropping the top.

Do you think this will be a problem on the 2-doors or just the more-doors?

You will never see this on the rear doors of a two door, I promise.

I'll be adding mud flaps to the front for that reason plus I hate the "rooster tail" of dirt spraying up the sides. Really don't want to wash this thing after every drive in wet/winter. Don't care what anybody else thinks about flaps.

Test drove a Wildtrack today and took it to a dirt lot to try the trail turn (fun!), was tossing little rocks up the sides for a while after that. I like the Gatorback flaps, since you can easily remove the low hanging part if you want for clearance, I just don't like the price for them. $450 for two, some rubber and vinyl is a bit crazy, have to see what others there might be or use some of my free points. I will not pay $340 for installation though, can't be that hard to mount.

Sorry to hear, but I don’t have rear door handles nor are they painted

EDIT: I also don’t even have a Bronco yet

That’s what happens when the tires stick out further than the body. Think of all the broken windshields Broncos with flare delete will cause.

I guess if you have a 2 door, you're safe

The bigger (wider) aftermarket rock rails maybe? The flaps might get torn off by the terrain depending on use...

That’s what I’m going to try

Which thickness are you looking at?

Looks like a stock First Edition with Sasquatch and Sliders. If he’s having that issue, everyone else with Sas will as well, possibly to include Badlands with 33’s. I put 285/70/r17’s on a BB and the tires appear to flush with the flares, so will need to add flaps as well. I did order the Lund rocker panel armor, but mostly to cover the ugly ass pinch weld.

Another bit of disturbing revelations from that picture show mud splatter on the front door handle as well as the back, and the 2dr handle will sit back a little farther than the 4dr, so I doubt 2dr will be exempt from this issue.

I didn't know that...is the door larger? I assume it is not the fender...I just assumed a 4 dr front door and a 2 dr front door were the same part.
