Rock tamers destroy my bumper

[2020sport5.7]

I live in a very very remote area and it's a 4 hour drive on just gravel from the nearest town. I have a set of rock tamers and I just used them for the first time on this new truck. They destroyed the paint on my bumper, it looks like someone sandblasted the bumper and half way up the tailgate.

Has anyone else had this happen too them?

Does ram use crap paint?

This never happened on the two Chevy half tons I owned before this.

I don’t have any insight for this, but dang 4 hours on gravel roads to the nearest town?! That blows my mind! Is that in Canada?

I have a set of rock tamers that I made myself and haven’t had any issues after many hours of gravel roads. I also have weather tech mud flaps if that makes a difference.

I’ve seen the tailgate and bumpers of trucks get destroyed by stones that bounce off of the front of an enclosed trailer before which is why I run them.

Yes this is in the very for north of Canada. Cold year round 24 hours of sunlight at summer solstice that sort of thing. It's a love hate relationship in the north that's for sure!

I'll burn about 150 liters on way with my 10,000 trailer full make sure there's extra fuel on board, haha

The rocks are so bad on this road that trailer breaks only last about 50km before they are just a big ball of wire..

It's just weird how this never happened to my Chevy half tons before this.

Looks like color matched rockergaurd on a brand new truck it is
