Why Mud Flaps Matter More Than You Think
Mud flaps are one of those accessories that tend to get overlooked when people are planning upgrades for their 4×4. They are not as exciting as a bull bar or a snorkel, but the protection they provide is hard to argue with once you understand what they actually do.
Every time you drive on an unsealed road, a gravel track or a muddy work site, your tyres are flicking up stones, dirt, sand and water at high speed. Without mud flaps, all of that hits the lower body panels, rear quarter panels, wheel arches, tailgate and tail lights directly. Over time, those impacts leave stone chips, scratches and scuffs that wear through the paint and open the door to rust. If you are towing a trailer or caravan, the debris extends to whatever is behind you as well, and the cost of repairing stone chip damage on a caravan is not something you want to deal with.
It is not just about your own vehicle either. On shared roads, driving without mudflaps means you are throwing debris at every vehicle following behind you. On narrow tracks and busy work sites, that is a real problem. For tradies running their ute or truck on construction sites and gravel roads every day, mud flaps for 4×4 and commercial vehicles are a simple, low-cost way to cut down on the kind of gradual damage that leads to expensive bodywork repairs down the track. When you consider the price of a set of mud flaps versus the price of a respray or panel repair, it is an easy decision.
The LandCruiser 70 and 79 Series are perfect examples of vehicles that benefit from mud flaps. These are workhorses that spend huge amounts of time in exactly the conditions where stone chips and mud spray do the most damage. Adding a pair is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to keep the body in good shape over years of hard use.
ABS Construction and What to Expect
All of the mud flaps in our range are made from ABS plastic, which is a strong, durable material that holds its shape well under impact. ABS is a step up from the soft rubber mud flaps you might be used to seeing on older vehicles. Where rubber flaps tend to sag, flap around at speed and lose their shape over time, ABS mudflaps maintain a firm, consistent profile that stays close to the body of the vehicle.
The material is also flexible enough to absorb hits from rocks and road debris without cracking, while still being rigid enough to hold its position at highway speeds. You do not need to worry about them folding back or losing coverage when it counts.
ABS handles the Australian climate well too. It is resistant to UV exposure, so it will not fade, crack or become brittle after years in the sun. It copes with heat, cold and water without deteriorating, which makes it a practical choice for an accessory that is permanently exposed to the elements.
The other advantage of ABS is the fit and finish. Because each mud flap is moulded for a specific vehicle, the dimensions, width and height are matched to the wheel arch and guard of that model. The result is a cleaner, more integrated look compared to generic flat rubber flaps. Once installed, they look like they belong on the vehicle rather than something bolted on as an afterthought.
Our range includes both front-only and front and rear options depending on the model. A full front and rear set gives you the most complete coverage. The front flaps catch debris before it reaches the side panels and doors, while the rear pair protects the tailgate, bumper and anything being towed. That said, even a front-only set makes a noticeable difference by reducing how much gets kicked up along the sides.
Vehicles We Currently Cover
Our mud flap range is focused on vehicles that spend serious time off road and on unsealed surfaces, starting with the Toyota LandCruiser lineup and the GWM Tank 300.
The Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series (2007-2026) has the most options in this category. You can choose between a front-only set or a full front and rear set, depending on how much coverage you need. The 79 Series is one of the hardest-working vehicles in Australia, and between mine sites, stations, construction jobs and remote touring, these vehicles are constantly exposed to the kind of conditions where mudflaps earn their keep. If you are building out a 79 Series for work or travel, mud flaps pair well with side steps and brush bars for more complete body protection. You can also browse the full LandCruiser 79 accessories range to see what else we stock.
The Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (2007-2026) is covered with a front and rear set. Like the 79, the 70 Series lives and works in tough environments, and a set of mud flaps is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to keep the bodywork in decent shape over the long run.
The GWM Tank 300 (2020-2024) rounds out the current range. The Tank 300 has gained a solid following as a capable off road SUV, and mud flaps are a smart early addition for customers who plan to take it beyond the suburbs. Check out our full range of GWM and Great Wall accessories for other options.
