I recently fitted BFG 285/75/16 AT's to my 4.8 and find that there is a marked increase in the number of stones picked up by the tyre tread and ricocheting onto the back of the vehicle off my trailer. (The vehicle also has an OME suspension )
Has anyone been able to source mud/stone flaps for the back wheels of a Patrol ? Alternatively has anyone come up with a remedy which works ? As a matter of interest the 285/75s feel great compared to the 275/70's the vehicle came with.
Mud/stone flaps for Patrol
Re: Mud/stone flaps for Patrol
I sat with the same problem. Bought heavy duty 4x4 mudguards at Midas. After a few holes drilled in the mudguards, and cutting a piece away where the exhaust was they seem to do the job. I will see this holiday when i go to Malawi.

If you have a standard back bumper and drive a lot of gravel roads , do this.
