16 FX4 collecting sand on bumper

New member and first post. Bought a 16 Screw FX4 a few weeks ago. Have noticed I constantly have sand collecting on bumper and also tailgate will be dirty when the rest of truck is still clean. Brush the sand off bumper and the next day it is there again. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah but I finally got rid of those pesky garden gnomes and it quit happening.

I imagine adding rear wheel well liners might help this out

Slow down...I know it happens to my Guard Green '15 Scab, but you should see the White Mustang after a freeway run.

Yeah mine does that too and I have the rear fender liners. Just the way stuff gets kicked up I guess.

I have a 04 Screw that I bought new and it has never had this issue.I am beginning to believe it is the design of the tailgate creating a suction causing it to pull the sand that is kicked up by the rear tires when you start down the highway.The reason I say this is there is more sand that collects in the step in area than on the higher parts of bumper.If you live in town it is likely not a problem but a dirt driveway in the country it is a PITA. There has to be a ton of people experiencing this.
