Rock Tamers 00108 2" Mudflap System

The 00108 mounts via the 2-inch hitch receiver: no drilling into the truck body. Two 24×24-inch fiber-reinforced rubber flaps on telescoping aluminum arms span the full rear width, adjustable from 67.25 to 96.75 inches. On-variant owners (2" receiver) confirm chip protection: a Quebec fishing-trip owner saw zero visible chips to a boat after miles of gravel back roads, and a 4Runner owner completed a 1,350-mile boat tow without rock chips. Stainless and zinc-nickel hardware holds without documented detachment. Long-term durability evidence includes a 15,000-mile Alaska trip intact and a 15-year service life before heat damage from dual exhausts. Diesel owners should note the right flap can be heated by exhaust; Rock Tamers sells a heat shield accessory for this. Assembly takes time and periodic bolt retightening is noted.

Right pick for truck and SUV owners with a 2-inch receiver hitch who tow a trailer, boat, or RV on gravel, highway, or mixed roads and need community-confirmed chip protection for the trailer's paint. The adjustable-arm design fits everything from a compact pickup to a dually without modifications to the vehicle. Skip if you have a diesel with rear exhaust routing and are unwilling to add a heat shield accessory, or if your truck has a tight receiver bay that may require modifying the standard anti-rattle arrangement.

No chemical exposure pathway: fiber-reinforced rubber passive exterior accessory with no SDS. The flap compound sheds microplastic particles through road-spray abrasion over its service life; the community-reported 8·15-year service life substantially reduces total replacement volume compared to thin commodity flaps. The inseparable stainless trim plates bonded to each rubber flap create mixed-material construction that blocks standard municipal recycling at end of life. A California Prop 65 warning appears on the product listing, attributed to trace chromium from hardware finishing, not from the confirmed flap material.
