Rokblokz mudflaps installed on Bronco

[BC overlanding]

Have tried them on two vehicles now. Weak mudflaps. Better options out there that are heavier duty and install with far more substantial hardware. Didn't keep the set for my Raptor or Ranger as even my friend who is an installer (25+ yrs) said especially for the $ they charge they are cheap in quality and he wouldn't put them on his own vehicles. Wont buy their product going forward and wouldn't put on my Bronco. Glad I went with what I did and wound up doing the same on my Raptor.

It's an option and and everybody likes different things. I'm just not a fan of their mudflaps with my experiences.

what are some good mud flaps for overlanding and crawling any suggestions

$419 dollars for 4 mud flaps is str up stupid and don't give me that D&R bs either, this is just str up price gouging. With that said its your money knock yourself out even tho you are pricing people with common sense

I would agree with that, but I'd like an option that doesn't require drilling holes in my new Bronco and is easily removable for off roading.

Totally agree. Hate the price and it didn't feel good paying it. There are few other really solid options out there right now that don't require drilling or hacking up your rock rails, and can be removed on the fly. (Ford Gatorbacks and RekGen(?), I think). Good example of why competition is good; just need more entrants into this space to drive more competitive pricing. So, for now we pay the price. I will say it would have been nice, or at least make paying the premium price feel a little better, if RokBlokz offered a small discount to Bronco6G members like so many other vendors on the forum but I don't think I have seen RokBlokz on the forum.

I added the Gatorbacks to my Bronco today and am very happy. Yes, they are expensive, but for me they give the best combination of function, fit and looks, so worth the additional expense, IMHO

Take those back to the Kenworth thread.

Tell me about it. Those Gatorback things are the worst. Especially the ones with the logo. How many broncos can you fit on a truck.

Are these the 'long' or regular?

Looking good! What are you thoughts of them overall? Seems like the install is pretty straight forward.

So far so good. The install wasn't hard, the only annoyance I had was the wrenches I had were too big at the head of them to get snug onto one of the crash bar bolts. I had to run out and get a smaller one. Other than that it was pretty straight forward. I put the flaps together inside before heading out to install them. I have noticed the thumb screws loosen a half turn or so after a quick drive, so I'm a little paranoid there. I'm debating putting in some more permanent hardware since I don't really plan on removing the flaps much if at all.

Maybe some purple loctite would help?

I would prob go with blue.

Yeah blue is what I used on the plates on the flap. I’ll probably try some later.
