Hi All.
Can anyone advise me of a place to purchase a set of mudflaps for my 80 series as I have heard numerous stories of stones taking out the back window when towing camper trailers or vans.

Are you talkin about one of them grandad kits where they ahve large amount of rubber strip across back of car down to the ground??
Just go to a rubber place, and theres the rubber for it, and make up a few brackets out of angle for mounting.
But as others ahve said, do everything you can to help, stone deflectors on trailer and all..

Thanks All
For the replys as truckster mentioned we are worried that it is the actual trailer mounted deflecter that is capable of doing all the damage and we were wondering if a giant mud flap may save us some bucks out on the road. We are travelling to the kimberleys in sept/oct and don't want to get caught with a busted rear screen
thanks all

Ashley,
If you're going with a full length rubber mudflap across the back of the car just don't do what we recently saw...some bozo had made up such a mud flap and mounted it centrally at the rear of the car. All fine and dandy except it wasn't wide enough leaving both rear wheels fully exposed. Since it's the tyres that flick up the stones one has to wonder what purpose, if any, he thought the rubber guard was serving???
