Hi Stephen
Thanks for you comments
I have looked at a Stone Stomper & other forms of protection but never really gone ahead with anything.
I have spent a lot of time under my van fitting protection to cables & fittings. I am as yet to have a problem.
I have a heavy shade cloth "system" that I fit to the front of my van that works OK. It can stay in place for the whole trip, also have fitted larger mud flaps to the Pajero that seem to reduce the amount of stones that actually get out from the rear tyres.
Still get a few little stone chips to the lower front of the van, but nothing I can't recoat if it worries me. We usually travel carefully on these tracks anyway.
To be honest, I don't really worry about it too much. I do cover my Pajero rear window to protect from stone strikes.
If you saw my car in person you would see many battle scars on the paint work. But not too many from stone damage, Usually it's the pin striping from narrow tracks that cause the most damage in my experience.
They are just a record of great trips !
Cheers
Paul
