We didn't have a rock guard on our trip to Alaska. We were in a campground in Whitehorse, Yukon and there were quite a lot of folks removing them because they were getting so much damage. We looked over their damage and it was amazing - all on the hoods and windshields. We didn't receive any dings on our Jeep.
On the Alaska drive you actually drive on long construction areas of mud and rock not solely on smooth pavement.
Later on as we were driving through Salt Lake City on a very rainy day - just for the heck of it I began watching motorhomes heading in the opposite direction. Those with a rock guard had a arc of water hitting the hood and windshields of their towed. Those without a rock guard had the much lower arc of water hitting around the tire area.
