After months of wait, I finally received my front RokBlokz mud flaps for my Badlands Sasquatch.
This is a preliminary review, in development. In summary, for now it’s a disappointment.
So, for $300 you receive 2 brackets and 2 thin pieces of plastics with dozens of little screws all unmounted. They tell you to use loctite, but it’s neither pre applied nor included. Fine. After you are done playing legos and assemble the whole thing and loctite everything, comes the problems.
The first and main issue is that the flaps rattle a lot as soon as you touch them and on the road (see attached video). They also don’t stay in place properly as there is a lot of play vertically (also shown in the video).
I contacted the support and sent the below video and they replied that the only thing they can think of is to make sure the hand screws are tight.
I fully unmounted the brackets and tightened the hand screws to the point I cut my finger. Still exactly the same issue. On the second video I put way the bracket from the wheel well and you can clearly see the little piece of metal they use is the problem moving up and down.
I replied to them today after doing those tests, and will update here when they reply.
Second issue is the clearance for your tire. Less than an inch at a certain tire angle. The screws on the bracket are already in contact with the wheel wells so can’t really push it more towards the wheel wells. Could be an issue. See picture.
Third issue is the fitment, it doesn’t really sit nicely against the fender flare. That’s mostly esthetic, not a functional issue. See picture.
I have feeling this product has not been tested well (on Sasquatch that is, their website and instruction shows a non Sasquatch with different bracket).
I will update this post once I get any new update from their support. Hopefully they make it right.

Update:
- Rokblokz acknowledged the issue eventually and shipped new clips that fixed the up and down movement of the flap.
- I still have this issue: following Rokblokz instructions to sit the bracket right against the wheel well, the metal clip threads protrude in a way that eat into the wheel well liner. Then putting the hand screws makes it even worst cause they are too long and go past the metal clips. I used spacers for that. If you don’t sit the bracket against the wheel well, then the flap won’t sit against the fender flare properly creating other issues (less clearance for the tire, rattle, etc).
