I noticed Montainborn has some heavy-duty mudflaps on the back of his Jeep (looks like same ones you see on semi trailers), and that got me thinking about the issue of protecting the front of the Oliver from 'road rash'.
For those that have put significant miles on their Olivers, how big of a problem is this? Are mudflaps necessary to keep the Oliver ding-free? Or, is it simply unavoidable?
