    Which is better?
    Both are expensive so which one is worth the price?
    Also which is better for aftermarket fender flares?

    $10 difference in price but no real difference in the flaps. I'm happy with my RekGens.

    I've had good luck with the RekGens. Not to stiff; not too flimsy. Prevents ice/snow accumulation in winter. Fitment is no problem with stock setup.

    I like the rokblokz, solid material and has a minimalistic design. Well worth the cost and they have a bunch of color options too.

    Neither. Having said that, I have the RekGens. Solid mud flap. Worth the insane price? They’re way overpriced for what they are.

    I'm in the Rokblokz camp and the "too expensive" camp. The cheaper options weren't good options to me.

    Though I have a second-gen I like RockBlockz. Only complaint is I bought the smaller one and I get more rock chips than the stock ones. If I did it again I would get the XL size.

    but they're all way to expensive for what they are.

    only other option is to make your own out of ABS sheet

    With the RokBlokz you get the extra support hardware on the backside of the front fenders. That’s gotta be worth the additional cost right? Lol.

    I know this is a little bit of an older post but are yours the regular size or the XLs? Trying to decide which to get.

    Those are the XLs. They're pretty wide but I drive a ton of gravel roads and they give awesome protection. I have the regular size on the 4Runner though and they do a pretty good job as well.

    Ok cool, thanks for the info! I may just go with the regular size. My wheels are a -10 offset which is the only reason I’m considering the XL’s. It looks like you also have the General Grabbers like I do…they sling rocks hard lol

    Is anybody running RokBlokz on an SR without the factory flares?

    Are there any gaps or did you have to do any modifications to make them fit properly?

    Which size Rek Gens do you have? They have two sizes. Standard and XL. What size tire do you run?
