Mud flaps will just break off the first time you hit a mud pit. Take off those fender flares too all they do is just catch mud and let it sit and rust your body panels.

 

Your paint's going to get beat up when you go off roading. No way around it, it's just what happens.

3M (and probably some other companies) make a clear film that is applied much like window tint. It does a supprizingly good job of protecting the paint. I've used it in my superbike and was very happy. Let my try to find a link.

I am seeing more and more newer vehicles coming with this from the factory on the hood. Which I have mixed feelings about.

My concern on all these new vehicles is if it would cause uneven fading of the paint over time on a new vehicle, especially down here in TX. I guess time will tell.
