Rokblokz mudflaps installed on Bronco

[Bradley Thornton]

Sorry I thought I posted this on this page but I didn't.

I fixed the gap and made room for bigger tires. Hope this helps.

We did fix the original issue with wiggle in the front flaps finding that we received and therefore send the wrong clips to a handful of customer (most of which were sasquatch owners so it seems like it mostly affected those) and, as we knew it would, that has solved the wobble.

The broken plate posted by MillerBuilt has been shipped and that was a mistake on us where he actually got the wrong plate and a combination of the fact that the customer tightened the screws too tight.

We have been listening to all feedback received on this product, but we are not yet aware of any "issues" that would require a complete redesign or any "notable" changes. We have installed many sets locally and have had customers "thrashing" on their flaps to sets the design and we are happy with results thus far. We are constantly looking to the future to make sure our products are always great and as we find new materials and such we will make any necessary changes behind the scenes.

I FINALLY got mine on. (original-Long). What a pain - I would like to enter the guy in the video in a strongest hands competition. The gold clips were BRUTAL to get in place, my thumbs were pinched and black an blue. superhuman strength to get them slid on. The video is great for showing the required steps. THEN THE BIG PROBLEM THANKS TO THE ASSEMBLY LINE WORKER AT FORD WHO TIGHTENED THE BOLTS ON THE CRASH BAR TO THE SAME SPECS AS IF THEY WERE WELDED ON.
I got the first one off with no problem. the other three i applied liquid wrench etc etc. no budge at all. Fortunately, this morning the crew was coming over to install my backup generator and I met the young strong studs with a smile and the bolt i had gotten off myself.
They went over and the mechanic of the two pulled and pulled but he eventually got them off for me. He said they were wayyyyyyy over torque spec.
The rest of the install went smoothly (i used the permanent mounts) , the quick release only take about 20 seconds to remove (steal ) the flaps>
I adjusted them no noticeable wiggle, looks great to me . well designed product fits tight.
If i get a wobble when driving, I might just bolt the flap to the running boards and that will end any movement.

Good luck with that price point

I too received mine quite a bit later than projected. But they look to be the part. I installed them this weekend being particularly careful to get them seated as far back as possible because I have the Sasquatch package. I read the online instructions and watched their video to make sure I was doing it right. And that didn't seem to help. As soon as I backed out of the drive way the front passenger tire started to rub on the thumb screws. I tried again to move the mounting bracket as far rearward as possible, pushing hard on the wheel liner, but it doesn't seem to help. Every time I crank the wheel hard to the right like when parking at the grocery store, or in the Home Depot the wheel catches the thumb screw and has torn gone of them completely apart.
I sent an email to Rok Bloks last night about it. Hopefully they have a fix for this. They're far too expensive of a product to have this kind of issue. Here is two photos showing that bracket and how's actually pushed all the way into the liner. Also show how the stock 35 Good Year is super close to that bracket even without the flap or thumb screw. Not sure how that can be right/.

I sent my Rokblokz back and received a partial refund. Too expensive for such a product where so many users are having fitment issues. I took a 10% hit for the return and didn't like that given these things have design issues that need refining and are not quite ready for the marketplace, but glad to have most of my money back and to be going in a different direction. It was a reminder that the Bronco is new and the after market items need time to be refined so they are ready for the open market without all of us having to be alpha or beta testers for the manufacturer and paying to do so.

Screw RokBlokz. Premium price+ and an inferior product.
Ripoff.

If anyone is interested in these and avoiding the wait for resupply from RB, I have a full set of the XL RokBlokz mudflaps UNOPENED that I am about to return to them. Only returning because it is clear from comments these will rub with my 37s.
I know people don't want to pay more than they are new, but to send them to you will cost me out of pocket.
Cost to me as per below was $419.99

I am ready to ship back to RB at my cost & restocking fee, so I would split shipping with someone + $20 credit to them, also helps get someone their product faster. price $400 + 50% of ground shipping.

WIll be shipping them back to RB on Monday

I used USPS to ship them back using the box they came in from Rokblokz. It was only $19. UPS ground was more than twice that amount.

It's disappointing Rokblokz is charging the 10% restocking fee for a product that does not fit quite right for SAS, especially when you send them back unopened.

I ordered the RekGen flaps they will be here on friday seem to be a better product with fitment and install look to be of thicker quality too i was torn between the RB ones and RekGens but after seeing the issues with the RB's i hope i made the better choice ill update if all goes well

agree - I figured I could minimize my losses and help someone that does want these, get them faster since RB is sold out for the time being.
I think it's a good product, I just know it's not going to work with 37s and they did a good sell job on me to think they would. After reading reviews, I know it's a pipe dream..

 

[Freedom5]

yes, very appealing. i'll rock my weathertechs until these are available.

I just put the WeatherTech one's on. Not the most attractive but will serve the purpose for a little while.

You may have stock tires but those are not stock wheels and I'm guessing you have an offset change.

0 offset wheels? That'll cause the rubbing. You are technically not stock. They do fit with no rubbing with stock tires AND wheels.

There's a big plastic block behind the fender liner that prevents the RB bracket from actually using its full adjustment range. It seems to be there only to provide a mounting point for a few of the liners push pins. It's basically filler.

I went into detail in another thread about what I had to do to get the RB flaps to fit my Sasquatch/rock rails/0 offset equipped ride.

If anyone wants to buy these at a great discount, I'm just too lazy to install them. They have been sitting in my garage for 4 weeks, and I think I'm just going to roll without flaps.

Everything is still in the shrinkwrap (although I did open the cardboard box).
They have the upgraded yellow/gold 'fixed' clips.

Set of 4 flaps (full kit front & rear). Original size/length. Color: Black, with subtle grey RokBlokz logo.

Will sell for $280, plus shipping (maybe $20? for shipping). (Regular price is $399.99)

Long shot, but are these still something you're looking to get rid of?

 

[Hobbes]

No, not available. Sorry. I ended up installing them after all. I am quite happy with the end product. But installation required a LOT of assembly and time.
