*CLOSED* RokBlokz Summer '18 Group Buy

Paid, thanks
@VangaSTL

 

Got em! I'd put them on now, but heading out for the evening so that'll be the first thing I do tomorrow morning.

 

Only a couple hours left!

 

Alright you all. I'm going to bed. If for some reason someone needs the code in the next three hours, ask someone else. I've done my part.

 

Ordered but kind of disappointed we didn't get much of a discount but better than nothing. I posted this group buy on every Tacoma and Toyota related Facebook group and page I could find and not much interest. Actually got more feedback from people saying smart things like found some way cheaper ones are Autozone, or on some obscure website universal ones with unknown material. Others being proud to not run them yeah I get it the stock ones are ugly and suck, but also probably because they are pavement princesses. For the rest of us that drive on gravel or in winter I hate having rocks being thrown into my windshield and cracking them. Guess its wrong to care anymore. We just need to spread the word, its an easy, fairly cheap mod that actually does something.

 

I'm a motorcyclist and I cant stand it when rocks get thrown at me. People dont realize that a 2mm pebble thrown at 70 mph can do a lot of damage.

 

Priorities, some would rather save money and go with universal brands or a cheaper brand. None of those were designed with the attention to detail the RokBlokz have. The universals and the cheaper brands seen on this site mount differently and some have had issues even running 265s on aftermarket wheels, whereas I have no issues with OEM on a 17x8.5 -6 running 265 Ridge Grapplers. I willingly paid more for a mudflap that someone took time to design so that I could run larger tires with them. If you ran 33s that poked out at all you would eventually lose paint w/o mudflaps.

 

I took a bumble bee to the chest at 70mph and it left a welt like a paintball. I always wore gear after that.

 

I’ve had these on my mod list for a year. $20 off and free shipping was the kick in the pants to go for it.

 

Got them installed no issues at all. Packaging was good too, even included some Smarties, you know, to make you smart.


And all mounted up.

 

Received mine, Smarties sweetened the deal

 

RokBlokz went cheap with the Phillips head screws, not even sized right.
I believe they did this to push their stupid little ratcheting thingy.

You can remove the stock screws with a 10mm socket and 1/4" ratchet.
To install, use a 1/4" combination wrench and a Phillips from a multi-bit screwdriver.

​

I received three different length 1/4" screws: 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 1-3/4". I was shorted one 1-1/2" and it seems substituted with a 1-1/4"; they also decided to include two extra 1-1/4" screws for whatever reason. What the hell are you guys doing over there?

The 1-1/2" screws go to the outer/highest hole, the 1-1/4" don't bite in that location. The longest screws, lowest/furthest inboard location, don't bite either. I had to go to the hardware store and buy 2" screws to get those to bite and another 1-1/2" for the one shorted me.

I decided to dump the Phillips head and get hex head screws so I could install with a 1/4" ratchet and socket.​

RokBlokz you owe me $20 for screws you should have included in the first place, only to save a buck.
They should have included two 1-1/2" and one 2" hex head screw per flap.

​

 

I'm sure if you had contacted them they would have made things right. Ranting on this thread wont do a whole lot for you.

Side note: you paid $20 for hardware! Where in the hell did you go!?

 

It’s for posterity
They were $1.19 each in stainless, was actually about $15 but I had to buy a drink and crackers too

 

Installed mine today, I dig them! Thanks for the group buy

 

Got mine today, who wants to give me a hand putting them on?

I also need help with my bumper.

 

Installed the front ones this evening. I'll do the rear ones tomorrow. Hopefully.

 

has anyone made these work with a cab mount chop?

 

I did

 

The elusive 05Taco made an appearance!
