The premiere adjustable and removable mudflap system.

What are Rock Tamers®?

Protect your investment. A quality mud flap system will help protect your vehicle and trailer, caravan, or boat from preventable damage.

There when you need it. Easy installation and removal with no drilling required, makes Rock Tamers® a convenient solution for when not towing full-time.

Save money with Rock Tamers®. Not only are dent repairs, paint touch ups and broken rear windscreens costly, but Rock Tamers™ can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle, extending the usable life of your purchase!

How do Rock Tamers® work?

Rock Tamers® MudFlap System is an easy on and off way to protect your tow vehicle as well as whatever you are towing from hazardous rocks, mud, debris & road tar.

Rock Tamers® Mud Flaps protect your tow vehicle and towable by acting as a barrier and safely deflecting road debris away.

When you’re on the move, an air whirl appears between your vehicle and your towable where road debris and particles get between the two.  When the rear end of the tow vehicle is not protected, this debris can cause damage such as dents and chipped paint, to the vehicle.  As your wheels rotate, rocks and debris get caught in the wheel tread which are then flung out, causing potential damage to the towable behind you.

Rock Tamers® Mud Flaps are recommended for those who often drive in sandy areas and unsealed or gravel roads. Tow vehicles with larger tyres with aggressive all-terrain or mud-terrain tread, result in a lot of thrown rocks.

  • Rock Tamers® are versatile and adjust to whatever you’re driving and whatever you’re towing. You don’t need to purchase a different size if changing caravan or trailer size, or when swapping between towables. (i.e. boat, camper etc) They can also be transferred from vehicle to vehicle, extending the usable life of your purchase!
  • When installed, Rock Tamers® don’t restrict access to the back of your tow vehicle.
  • All the included hardware is stainless steel, so the Rock Tamers® survive long term use in all weather conditions.
  • Rock Tamers® don’t need to be removed if it starts raining. They don’t fill up with, and sag, from the weight of mud.
  • Rock Tamers® help prevent rocks from continuing to bounce along the underside of the towable, preventing further damage.
  • The rubber mud flap is extremely durable and flexible, providing greater coverage, whilst being easy to clean. Dust can be easily wiped off and tougher grime can be washed off with soap and rinsed with water.
  • Almost any part of the mud flap system can be replaced when it’s worn out or damaged, further extending its longevity.
  • Rock Tamers® are easily removable, and installation is quick and easy with no drilling required, making Rock Tamers® a convenient solution for when not towing full-time.

Replacing windscreens whilst travelling is expensive and a hassle – Installing Rock Tamers® Mud Flaps assists in protecting your tow vehicle, your towable and other cars on the road.

Rock Tamers® Tips & Tricks

  • When travelling, the mud flaps need to be sitting at about 45 degrees to be effective. Adjusting the static angle will help achieve this. The static angle of the mud flaps can be increased up to 35 degrees from the vertical. This will enhance the performance of the mud flaps and help eliminate the chance of stones rebounding back onto the tow vehicle. 
  • Clearview Accessories provides a free Rock Screen with every set of Rock Tamers. This lightweight mesh insert is also available to be purchased separately for vehicles regularly travelling on gravel roads and off road driving. This insert, when fitted between the two flaps, will reduce the occurrence of stray stones, debris etc. rebounding off the A-frame of your tow vehicle. (A loose-fitting mesh will last longer than a tight-fitting mesh)
  • The lowest point of the mud flaps need to hang a minimum of 100mm off the ground when hitched or fully loaded. The mud flap length may require cutting to fit your specific vehicle.
  • Rock Tamers must be removed prior to entering any drive through car wash.
  • To extend the life of your Rock Tamers, when not in use, spray the hub and fittings with a lanolin-based spray and wipe off excess. This will protect against corrosion etc. particularly when used in salty conditions.

Do Rock Tamers® need to be on an angle?

The static angle of the mud flaps can be increased up to 35 degrees from the vertical. This will enhance the performance of the mud flaps and help eliminate the chance of stones rebounding back onto the tow vehicle. When travelling, the mud flaps need to be sitting at about 45 degrees to be effective. Adjusting the static angle will help achieve this.

Some Australian vehicles (for example the 200 series LandCruiser) require the center hub to be turned upside down which lowers the pivoting point of the support arms by about 35mm. Doing this lessens the angle required of the supporting arms, allowing the rear tailgate to be opened without damage.

If the center hub and supporting arms are mounted on a 200 series LandCruiser without this modification, you cannot open the rear tailgate. It is also important to increase the static angle of the mud flaps even more because the mud flaps sit further away from the vehicle.

Clearview Accessories provides a free Rock Screen with every set of Rock Tamers. This lightweight mesh insert is also available to be purchased separately for vehicles regularly travelling on gravel roads and off road driving. This insert, when fitted between the two flaps, will reduce the occurrence of stray stones, debris etc. rebounding off the A-frame of your tow vehicle. Available in two sizes: 750mm wide and 900mm wide.
