Ditto that...
My flaps started to go just from highway driving.
One trip to the Outer Banks and some Dune 4-wheelin & they were toast.
Never bothered to put on new ones & I've removed all 'plastic' (ie: Front
Air Dam) that could/would have gotten trashed from 4-wheelin'.
I love seeing all the 4x4's around town with the full grill/brush/taillight
guards, running boards, "off-road" lights, etc. - 'cause I know if they ever
went off-road (not likely) that 90% of that stuff would be GONE!
Ahh well, to each their own...

How intense were your off-road treks? We ended up ruling out the molded
flaps to get the more flexible kind with Dodge on them. I was a little
concerned about getting them caught on something while climbing and having
them snap or crack. Is there a chance of that happening?

My truck came with smaller molded flaps, which I soon found out I was
missing
2 of the 4 after a 4wheeling weekend. Then, I went to the dealer, and bought
4
new longer flaps that seemed to be more felxible, NOPE! When hosing my truck
off I noticed that this time I only had 1 flap left. Basically I will never
waste my money on buying flaps again. They are good if you never go 4wheelin,
but I just found they belong on street vehicles and serve NO purpose on my
truck. Save your money for something your REALLY need when 4wheelin' , like
a
a Hi-Lift jack, etc.
