Pitted rocker panels

[jc.223]

Soon after I bought my Trex I installed some Fuel -12 rims. Now I see a lot of road pitting on my lower rocker panels. Not a fan of mudflaps. Just curious what others have done to overcome this?

Running Boards, PPF, Splash Guards, mud flaps. Lot of options out there, just depends on the level of protection you want. Also depends on how you drive it. If you are mostly on the road, splash guards / rocker PPF might be enough.

Very well-known problem with the TRX. My 2021 was just devastated and had to try 3 different flaps. Finally, the RB flaps helped and the caliche roads even went through my PPF.

Installed the XL version on my 2027 along with PPF and so far, so good. Have not gone to the ranch in New Mexico yet but in about 1800 miles no whacks yet. Poor engineering from Ram on this. Have seen it on almost everyone I have looked at over the years in parking lots, and the car wash I use.

I'm guessing those wheels make it a little worse with some poke and hitting the rockers more than usual.

Gotta cover the rockers. lower doors and front of the bed with PPF...........

Did you install yourself?

Big tires that stick out farther than the body are damaging the paint??? No way. I've never heard of such a thing.

I did the RokBlokz on my 21. Not the obnoxious sized ones because I kept factory wheels. Easy install. Well worth the money. Will do on my current gas guzzler too.

Rokblokz and bedliner help.

Repaint the bed when it gets bad enough. (I hate mud flaps)

Looks great.

Could you share more pics? Is that linex? I’ve been thinking of doing the same. Did you do the flares too?
