Default Front Bed Corners

Ok so I know I havn't been around much lately but I've been wicked busy! Hope everyone's summer is goin good. I just have a question for all the resident DAK guru's. I have an 06 quad cab, and drive a lot of gravel, ****ty roads etc. I have fender flares and mud flaps but the front box corners on both sides of my truck just behind the passanger door are getting seriously chewed up. I put gravel guard on last year, but it's still not helping much....my BF AT;s throw a lot of stones. I know that my brother's 06 tacoma has black rubber protectors on his truck but those came stock on his truck. Do they even make sucha thing for our trucks? Anything in the aftermarket? Any help would be awsome!

Thanks,

lance

Pic is big for posting but http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...oClean-001.jpg click that and look at my rear mudflaps. Made with the flap for a semi, cut in half and mounted up in the wheel well. Something like that in the front would probably work, the stock molded "mudflaps" don't give a lot of protection.

I have basically the same thing already lol. I have actual mud flaps, not those crappy moulded ones. They go quite low to the ground which I thought would prevent this from happening but it doesn't seem to have helped a whole bunch. But thanks for tryin bud.

Now thats no fun at all frenchy! Plus these are the stock tires that came on the truck! Maybe when it's time for new ones i'll get some that don't throw stones so bad, but until then....

I put clear film on mine - on the leading edge of the box. Use a heat gun to get it to fit
