Video Transcript for Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard Review

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard, part number RM-4000. When we go to flat tow a vehicle, we have a lot of issues with road debris flying up and hitting the front of our vehicle. Whether it be rocks or gravel or anything else, we don't want the paint to be scratched, let alone a headlight broken. Our Guardian's going to protect the front of our vehicle and make sure the paint stays in nice condition, as well as the headlights. Our Guardian's going to be made out of a molded polyethylene material with a hollow core, so it's going to be extremely durable but also very lightweight.Now our Guardian is going to be compatible with all Roadmaster base plates that have the quick disconnect style crossbar, which is sold separately. This center section of our Guardian is going to be attached directly to the base plate on a bracket, and the two side panels are going to have a connecting rod that's going to connect those to the center.

Now, because of its design, we're going to be able to remove in a manner of seconds and actually fold the sides in for a smaller footprint so we can store it.One of the nice things about our Guardian is that it does remove extremely easily and is easy to store. We can simply just pull those pins out, loosen up those thumb screws and we can pull the whole assembly off and set it aside. And that will finish up your look at the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard, part number RM-4000.

by:

Received way earlier than was projected! Installation was a snap, quality of product is as advertised and it is exactly what I need for front end protection! Even with a mud flap on the coach there was still a tremendous amount of gravel hitting the pickup! NO MORE!! Strongly recommend!er



by:

Simple design, easy to use. Perfect fit for my towed vehicle. No longer have stones sitting on the windshield after a trip.



by:

no instructions included



by:

The actual product appears to be built quite well. However, there is little if any adjustment with Wyze. It took a lot of effort to get everything lined up to be exactly 36 inches wide.



by:

excellent customer service from Quinn, on time delivery, good selection of products. would recommend this business.



by:

Hi George, all the products that I purchased from you guys arrived in a timely manner and installed on my 2017 Jeep. Good instructions and good products. I sent you a picture of my install.



by:

Installation was a breeze. Quick to mount, quick to remove, quick to store.



by:

Works great with my tow bar system and protects my tow vehicle very well.

Still working good.



by:

Very nice and sturdy protection for the front of the towed vehicle. Easy to assemble, attach, remove and store. I was surprised by how rigid it was even at highway speeds.



by:

I purchased the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit w/ Removable Arms, The Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar, Quick Disconnect Crossbar, Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, and Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard in order to tow my 2020 Ford Raptor behind my Class A. Everything bolted on beautifully and the craftsmanship was fantastic. Ordering from etrailer was easy and the parts arrived within a few days with no problem. I watched numerous [online] videos to learn how to install everything and they saved me a lot of time. Overall, I'm very happy.



by:

We have lots of stones on Idaho's roads so I wanted to protect the front end of my ranger while towing it. This guard is nothing to mount on the baseplate and should help much in preventing most of the rock chips.



by:

The parts and hardware all arrived in good shape despite the beat up condition of the box. It was easy to assemble and provided everything I needed to mount to my Roadmaster Tow dolly. Easy to remove the guard and fold up for storage inside. It was a bit expensive, but I'm hoping it will save the front hood and windshield of my Mini.



by:

I received the RM-400 on time, watched the installation video and installed it. I haven't used it yet but I'm confident it will do the job keeping the front end of our car protected while towing behind the motorhome.

However, the box didn't have the thumb screws.



by:

Easy installation.



by:

I won't have a chance to actually use this for a couple of weeks, but I have no reason to doubt I will be highly pleased with it as others have been. For now, I just want everyone to know what a FANTASTIC place etrailer is to do business with. My Guardian arrived much sooner than I expected. This is a company that really delivers. Best company I have ever dealt with. I will update my review later. If you are going to get this, I highly recommend the Stowawy which allows you to easily store the Guardian on the hitch receiver on your motorhome.



by:

a good solid product by Roadmaster that looks to protect the front end of my Jeep Grand Cherokee . the install went well with only one small problem, the Stowmaster tow bar pop-ups interfere with the RM-4000 when in the store position. Other than that it is a well built product.



by:

The rock guard is easy to install. It provides a good amount of protection for the vehicle. It is light fairly light weight sturdy.

I use it on my Ford Xplorer along with the roadmaster rowboat and vehicle brackets



by:

Once you install the guardian carrier installing the Guardian is a breeze. The important step in the installation of the carrier and the guardian is driving your car onto the dolly to make adjustments to the carrier and guardian reference your vehicle. After you get it all together lt looks good and works. I'd buy it again.



by:

Best price,free shipping,no tax.what else can i say.patrick did a fantastic job from a to z

Joe B.

Really good. thank you!!



by:

This rock guard will deflect anything you might kick up. Be sure to get the right guard for your tow hitch.



by:

The product arrived in two business days, absolutely amazing. Installation was easy and works great. What else can you say? Roadmaster items are well engineered and and always work together when they say it does. As long as you do the research on products, etrailer gets it to you fast.



by:

I towed my 2019 Silverado Pickup behind my Motorhome from Lincoln, NE to Yellowstone National Park and everything worked great and was easy to hook up.



by:

The Rock Guard that came is as I ordered. As i had faith it would be. My first time ordering from them. They told me that it was in stock and that it would be shipped the next day and when it would arrive....It all took place...Keep up the good work.



by:

Very good product. Good installation instructions and easy to assemble. Another quality product from Roadmaster.



by:

Received a day earlier than expected. Janice took my order and walked me thru the process on how it attached it. She was right on. Looks good on my 2007 Ford Ranger. Took about a half hour to mount. Every time I order from etrailer. It's always the right part I needed.

  • Are Mounting Brackets Included w/ the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard?
    The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard item # RM-4000 includes the mounting brackets and the plastic shield portion. Also included is the four bolts required to attach it to a Roadmaster base plate. The Rock Guard is not compatible with EZ5, MS, or MX baseplates. If you would like me to verify yours works I would just need you to email me back the part number. The mounting brackets and hardware are also able to be purchased separately if you are towing different vehicles item # RM-4000-1. I...

  • Replacement Mounting Hardware for Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard
    The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 fits on Roadmaster crossbar style base plates with the Hardware # RM-4000-1. This is also a 2nd vehicle kit if using on more than one vehicle. I have linked an installation video below as well as the printable instructions if you would like to have a copy on hand.

  • Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard RM-4000 Recommendation
    The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 is a great choice for a way to protect the front end of your vehicle as it is being flat towed. This one may not be as tall as the one you currently have but due to how close the towed vehicle is to the tow vehicle the taller guard would not be necessary. The rocks that would end up thrown from your tow vehicle wouldn't end up high enough to clear this guard. It will work well for you. If you check out the reviews of this product you will see...

  • Does the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 Blocking Air Flow Cause Problems
    Is there a reason you would need air flow to your vehicle while it is being flat towed? The engine shouldn't be on so there would be no reason it would need air flow to the radiator. Also, on modern vehicles the radiators pull air from underneath the vehicle, so if for some reason your radiator did need air flow it would still get it since this does not block air from getting to the under side of the vehicle.

  • Does Roadmaster Rock Guardian Work with Roadmaster Tow Bar
    Yes the Roadmaster Rock Guardian part # RM-4000 does work with the Roadmaster tow bar setup you have on your 2006 Lexus GX 470. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

  • Rock Guard Recommendation for a 2010 Chevy HHR Being Flat Towed
    Priority one would be to keep the tow bar level. Otherwise you will wear out suspension and tires. As long as your Roadmaster base plate aren't MX or MS (they won't be), the correct Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard would be the part # RM-4000 which will protect the front of your 2010 Chevy HHR.

  • What are the Dimensions of the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000
    The middle section of the Guardian Rock Guard is 37-1/2 inches wide and 26-7/8 inches tall. The two side panels are smaller at the top than they are on the bottom. The top, in width, is 15-1/2 inches but at the bottom is 18-1/8 inches. They are both 26-7/8 inches high as well. When open, the guard will measure 68-1/2 inches wide at the top, 73-3/4 inches wide at the bottom, and will be 26-7/8 inches tall. When the guard is folded up it is 37-1/2 inches wide and still stays 26-1/2 inches...

  • Availability of Way to Protect Front End of Vehicle When Flat Towing
    If you have a Roadmaster tow bar we have the Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 which is designed to protect the front end of a vehicle while it is being flat towed like what you are doing. If you have a different tow bar let me know and I'll recommend the best solution for it if available.

  • Does Roadmaster Rock Guard Work when Used with Motorhome
    Even with the rear axle of your motorhome being a decent distance from the rear of it there will still be rocks and other debris that will fly up from the wheels and potentially hit your vehicle. The Rock Guard part # RM-4000 will definitely help. Dually wheels like what your RV are known for throwing rocks a large distance. I have gotten rock chips on my car from semi-trucks that were a great distance in front of me.

  • Availability of Front End Vehicle Protector for Vehicle Flat Towed with Blue Ox Tow Bar
    The Kar Gard II you mentioned has been discontinued for a couple years now but we do have the original Kargard part # BX8870 still available. This is a hard shield for the front of the vehicle instead of the fabric style of the II which isn't around anymore. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Strongest Rock Guard for Roadmaster Tow Bar
    For your 2011 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard item # RM-4000 you were looking at. This car shield is made of molded high-impact polyethylene so no laydown fabric here. It is 26" Tall x 71" wide. I linked a video that will you show a test we did on one of these guards.

  • Will The Roadmaster Stowaway Storage System Work With The Roadmaster Rock Guardian
    The Roadmaster Stowaway Storage System # RM-4000-40 will work with the Rock Guardian # RM-4000 only and that is not compatible with D ring bumper mounts. The Tow defender # RM-4750 however will fold and up store on your motor home and that solution is compatible with D-Ring Bumper mounts. Included are video resources with more information from here.

  • Adapter for Attachment of the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard to a StowMaster 5000 Tow Bar
    As long as the StowMaster 5000 tow bar that you have has Quick Disconnects, Item # RM-201, then the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard, item # RM-4000 will work with your towbar. If you do not have the # RM-201 quick disconnects you will need them to adapt the Guardian Rock Guard to your tow bar setup. The Roadmaster Guardian 2nd Vehicle Kit, item # RM-4000-1, is designed to attach the guardian to a second vehicle with quick disconnects.

  • Will the Guardian Shield Mounting Bracket RM-2000-8 Fit a Kendon Motorcycle Trailer?
    I can definitely say the Guardian Shield Mounting Bracket # RM-2000-8 will fit the # RM-4000 Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard. However, to mate this to a trailer or tow dolly that is not a Roadmaster, you will need to double check and make sure your Kendon trailer has a tongue/frame tube with a width of 3-1/4 inches or less. If your trailer follows this guideline, you are good to go. If you do not have a tongue/frame tube that is this size, you will most likely need the Roadmaster Guardian...

  • Will Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard Restrict Airflow on GMC Acadia
    Since your owner's manual states not to use a vehicle mounted guard when it's being flat towed I have to recommend adhering to this advice. While most likely you would be fine, if anything were to go wrong because of the restricted airflow it would not be covered under the vehicle's warranty. With this in mind I strongly recommend the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 instead, which will attach to the base plates and tow bar on your setup to keep gravel and debris down and away from the...

  • Do Roadmaster Guardian or Tow Defender Rock Guard Rub Against Motorhome
    Hey there Terry; thanks for the question and the answer is neither the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 or Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 will rub against the motorhome when making turns. Keep in mind the right one will depend on the Roadmaster base plates you have. the Tow Defender is for direct-connect base plates while the Guardian is for crossbar-style base plates.

  • Will Extra Parts Be Needed To Install The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening?
    The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 will work great to keep your 2016 Ford C-Max protected from any road debris kicked up from your Motorhome. This system comes with all the hardware you need to connect the system without any extra parts needed. It fits Blue Ox tow bars with Blue Ox brackets, Demco tow bars with Demco brackets, and Roadmaster motorhome mounted tow bars. It weighs 15 lbs and rolls up to 4 inch diameter for storage.

  • Can Roadmaster Rock Guardian and Tow Defender Screen # RM-4700 be Used at Same Time
    The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4700 and the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 that you referenced can fit together. The screen can easily store on the tow bar when not in use but the Rock Guard needs to be removed from the tow bar when not in use. It does fold up for easy storage though.

  • Can Exhaust of Motorhome Damage Roadmaster Tow Defender Screening
    With the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 that you referenced Roadmaster does not recommend having the exhaust exit the motorhome right by it like you mentioned. You'd want to find a muffler shop who can install a curved pipe so that it exits to the side of it. Or you could go a different route with the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000 which will protect your towed vehicle and does not have any issues with exhaust.

  • Which Vehicle Protector To Use with Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 would be the one to use with a Roadmaster Falcon # RM-520 as it is designed for use with Roadmaster tow bars that have quick disconnects. The Blue Ox Kargard is designed for use with Blue Ox tow bars so it would not be what you need.
