My buddy got a protector that has thin plastic strips instead of the "grass skirt" type. It works well to keep rocks and other debris from hitting the front of his new toy hauler. It is also easy to remove it as it attaches onto the hitch reciever.

I got a dirt skirt on my truck. I don`t really care for the look, but I do like the way it keeps the mud off my stuff !

I've had a Rock Solid receiver mounted tow guard for just about 5 years, and would recommend one. Definitely way better looking than the grass skirt style, and that Rock Tamer. Saw one at Princess Auto today, and there just plain ugly. No chips on my boat too, so it must be doing it's job.:beer:

Phoned around today, thinking that I am going with "Rock Solid" over a dirt skirt.
And I found an adjustable alum. hitch too. Looks like I am all set-up now !!

I ended up making my own. I'm into it for about 60$. I don't think there is any way to make these things look good, but it's a small price to pay for the front of your trailer. The trick is to make it easily removable so you look cool again after your done towing.:d

Looks great, my trailer has line X on the front, the black stuff half way up. Seams to be working good on this set up. My trailer sits a little higher so it works good. I havent done much gravel yet. So time will tell.
