You see that thing on the fender behind the wheels. They call it a rock guard, but it’s actually a water, and salt catcher. Salty water runs down the side of you truck slides down under it, and lets rust grow where you won’t see it, until it’s too late.

What makes it even worse is that they’re made with MANLY MAN STEEL, aka oxygen’s best friend.

Oxygen and salt’s best friends.

Oxygen is the friend, salt (and water) are the doofuses egging them on.

Everyone who’s ever owned a 1990s Honda just cringed a little bit.

They do a ton for protecting the paint. It’d be peppered with rocks if you didn’t have them.

I work in a body shop and remove these all the time. The’re usually clipped/ taped on to most vehicles so no real way to start rust.

I’ll have you know I have two 90's Hondas with zero rust anywhere. Then again I have a 45 year old car with only surface rust. YMMV

Drill a bunch of small holes in the bottom, done

Have I mentioned how glad I am to NOT have to deal with salty roads dissolving my cars for 8 months out of the year? Been there, done that... totally over it.

(Imagine non-Kinja’d image of my completely floorless ‘95 XJ here)

That’s why I consistently wash mine when winter hits.
