If your tires stick out past the flares, it is going to happen.

the best part is when you drive through a puddle and all the muddy water runs down each end of the bumper and and makes it look like crap, a good friend of mine has a 2007 classic and its horrible....

So...ya want me to send you a brochure for your next car or what???? Im on gravel or trails 12 hours a day.....

And just how many miles did these vehicles have on them??? Dirt and gravel (dust) does not wear brakes out any faster than on pavement...

Sounds like you arent very good at doing brakes.. You need a Midas...(Do they have those in the States??)

and rubbing compound dosent work either right???? cause that is what you get when you add gravel dust to water......ask anyone that off-roads what mud, dirt, and sand do to brakes, seals, u-joints, bearings, and anything that isnt perfectly sealed......
