Tow Guards for Rock Damage

I had purchased OEM mud flaps and was so unhappy with the protection they provided took them off after one week. I ordered my new ones from http://www.duraflap.com/

You can get a combination of widths and lengths. I purchased the no drill ones but did have to purchase new hardware to mount them as the factory fasteners were a little short to grab well. I have been very happy with them.

They are on my signature picture GMC.

Bstar,

TY for the update!

Hope it works well!!!

I bought a Chev 2500hd and it had full width mudflaps to the ground. I pulled my flat trailer and it had a tractor on it. When I got to my destination I had about a coffee can full of 1/2 in rock on the trailer. I took them off. Luckily didn't break headlights on tractor. Besides when you back up they rip off on soft ground.

Your welcome.
It's easy. Just copy the link that is created in the "RV.NET: Photo Upload & Post" site directly into your post. Don't use the "Image" button in the advanced post form. The "RV.NET: Photo Upload & Post" site creates the correct syntax from the get-go.(You don't have to use the advanced post form, you can stay with the basic one).
This is a common mistake by many members until they figure it out.

Well I see posting the picture didn't work. Anyway the rock guard in the "Rock Solid" brand, 18" model.

Thought I'd update in case anyone was interested. Ended up buying this through Amazon for just over $100 bucks. Seems well built and sturdy. Getting ready to head out to Santa Fe and southern Utah so we'll see how it holds up.[img][/img]

Unless you get a generic, extra long mud flap, the ones made model specific for the trucks are pretty much useless for most of the current HD's. They sit to high.

Can't recall the brand at the moment, but there is a company that makes custom designed mud flaps from flat rubber (not the plastic molded like WeatherTech). The longest set may prevent rocks, otherwise the trucks sit so high now the other mud flaps don't protect anything.

Bstar,

Keep us posted what you decide to do. I have been trying to decide what to buy/make for our '13 to protect the tt and also to cut down on the road slush on our clamshell snowmobile trailer.

The way GM routed the tailpipe makes it tougher to decide what to go with. Could have it changed to a side exit, but don't want to pay the money.

Not sure what hitch shank you have, but using a 2.5" Titan for our tt makes a ball mount set up tougher.

Mud flaps on the TV will almost always solve the problem.
