I have an 03 3/4 ton with nitto terra edge grapplers, which I thought were not a very aggressive tire. However, the rocker panels and fender flares on my truck seem to be pitted pretty badly. I was wondering if there was a quick fix for this, or any kind of fix at all without having my truck repainted?

get the rockers sprayed with bedliner. not cheap but totally worth every penny. i have pics in my garage if youd like to see how it looks

You can offset the white with black bedliner...

Or you could get color matched beliner, they can usually match it pretty close, but again, that increases your price range even further.

I put clear bra on my rockers/fenders and hood to protect from rock chips. MAde my 3m works well so far.

Duraflap
they don't really work with lifted trucks with wide tires and an offset

What did you make your flaps out of Varty Yo? Probably a dumb question but I was just curious

bought some grain truck mud flaps and got creative with the trimming. you could also use big rig flaps. only cost $30, better then the $230 dura-flap wanted

I made my own out of truck mudd flaps I got from a truck shop. Here's a pic of the rears.

They worked great for keeping the rocks of the rocker panels, but I got tired of ripping them off when backing up in fields and such so I just left them off. I need to get another set on, but not quite as long because the 315 tires I got on there now are pitting the crap out of my rockers.
Here's a pic of both front and back:

That's right bedliner material & maybe some mudflaps.
