People own these trucks for themselves and not other people. There are plenty of "mods" people do to their trucks on this forum that I think are tacky and silly looking. I keep my mouth shut because its not my truck.You guys with no side steps or mudflaps, how can you accept the huge amount of gritty slop that literally covers your paint up past the window sills? It has to be a major PITA to deal with, for example opening your door handles scratches the clear coat and messes up your hands. Rocks chip the paint into the primer or beyond to bare metal…. Wider tires make a bad situation even worse! I have XL flaps and running boards with front hole covers, and I get a tiny amount of mud (or sandy snow) up onto my nice paint. My hands and shoes stay clean and so does my interior and steering wheel. And my wife doesn’t get mad at me….
I was just wondering if you think a muddy paint job is no problem, and do you actually think it looks cool? Because it definitely does not… IMHO it makes you look clueless.
This issue can be helped by using hole covers:

I believe that was my Pixel 7 Pro actually. I usually keep a Fuji X100V on me.

Hey man, that particular day, I didn’t give a heck about what my truck looked like, I was happy that I got to slide around get a little dirty. I did cringe a bit as I heard the branches scraping the sides! But I applaud you for your meticulous care of your vehicle, it’s a good looking truck! I just happen to think it looks good both ways, covered in mud, or fresh out of the shower…You guys with no side steps or mudflaps, how can you accept the huge amount of gritty slop that literally covers your paint up past the window sills?

I plan on doing this with my 2025 Raptor as soon as I sell my 2022 SCAB...I searched around and didn't see a thread for people to show off their trucks.
Post up pictures of your Raptors!
heh, I got a chuckle out of this picHere is few pics of mine.
Nice! I've got the standard Pixel 7. What lens do you use for cars with your Fuji?
