Who is making the best mudflaps? I hear loads of stories of rock chips and what not, just currious as to whats out there (lots of options) and who is using what.

As long as you specified you don't have crashbars, they come with the screws you need.

Rokblokz will not sell you replacement parts for the product they just completely overcharged you for

Rokblokz will, however, very courteously sell you another complete set, and smile all the way to the bank
Ask me how I know this is 100% true.

Also, you must remove the Rokblokz before going rock crawling. You will mangle them.

The two M22 bolts? No because I was ignorant and thought I had the intrusion bars, when actually it is jus my the frame. Luckily I have a large supply of hardware

Oh ok, I bought mine from another member here so I couldn’t check the order but I just went up to tractor supply and bought what I needed. So does yours have the big gap where the crash bar would sit?

I installed the MAYBETTS they form well to the fenders and look good. Only pic I have is a in the box and on from the rear corner I will up load a better pic tomorrow.
I was looking at the IAG flaps, seem to be very similar (maybe even the same molded part?). I like the look of these, more integrated vs. bolt-on.

They say “fit all trims” but fronts not cut out for the factory rock rails like the Gatorbacks. Still fit okay? I guess they have enough curvature to clear the rails?

I like the removable feature of the lower portion Gatorback, but for the price diff, not sure if I’d be too upset if I hang one of these on a rock and kill it. As long as no body damage, since they appear to bolt on to tow hook mounts. Am I missing anything?

Well you did cutting and welding, so for those without those options the lower price point doesn’t help.

I have the Rokblokz on my Ranger for 2 years and they are great. Agree with the sentiment that they are too expensive for the Bronco so got the WeatherTechs and they have been great... The front's looks don't bother me and they seem to offer pretty good protection... I am thinking however about customizing something using the molded mounting points of the weather techs and then cutting the bottoms off and splicing in some urethane or rubber for some flexability...
The rears look very wide to me....

I got mine on, I will need to order the B plate for the Sasquatch with the bar removed, but they aren’t bad. I don’t like that you can see the little nut, but maybe I’ll go over it with a sharpie. Install wasn’t horrible, if I knew I was missing parts it would have been simple. Again, I don’t care for mud flaps in general but would rather save my paint. My drive way is rocks and I can hear them fling out of the tires. And yes, they way over charge for Bronco, my husband has the same ones he bought a few months back for his Ram and they were at least half as much.

Yah I can kinda see the need for a modification or a added mud flap for certain applications, but most of everything I see looks way overkill and over priced.

I hope the aftermarket can come up with something that is a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I really don’t think these have to be that ginormous, ill fitting and cheap looking to be effective.

I would really consider buying different tires if that would help rather than bolting on a hot mess to my Bronco.

I really do empathize for the folks that live on or consistently drive on roads that warrants this modification.

Anyone tried trimming/modifying some of these designs?

Anyone who ordered the rokblokz for Sasquatch, did the kit come with the large bolts to attach the brackets? I seem to be missing them.

Did you get this squared away? They should have come with everything needed to install, especially the long bolts for the brackets.

Having purchased Rokblokz flaps for my Bronco, I will say that although I absolutely love them and think they are great mudflaps (durability, how they mount, appearance, US made), their QC checks need a little work. It seems they completely missed your front bracket hardware. For me, one of the installation plates didn't have all the holes drilled out. It wasn't a big deal since there is a matching plate for the other side. I simply lined them up and drilled the holes out myself, but unfortunate I had to at the price they are charging. I also received hardware that wasn't even applicable to my order. Although they need some definite QC work, customer service is great.

I did, thank you. Turns out they were suppose to be for Sasquatch but the checkbox was not marked for the crash bar removed. And I bought them from someone else not through the company. I think they still work for now though.

I reached out to Rok Blokz and I must say their customer service was awesome, quick response and no issue adding just the part needed, and I didn't even order mine through them. Very happy.

I pulled the trigger on the “Mabett” mud flaps, front only. Liked them so much I made a how-to vid if anyone is seeking guidance on their install, or to see some videos of how they look. I think they blend in so well - they have a “factory” look to them, similar to how the Bronco Raptor has the extensions down of the front brows. Thanks for the post that led me to these “MESTUNTMAN”!

We are actually looking at these now: Bro Flaps

Way less expensive than most above, product of other Bronco owners, and clean looking.
