Tow Car Shield - Any Feedback?

[Rick M]

Hi All

I am considering this Tow Car Shield =
Tow Car Shield
Does anyone have this? - Does it work?
If it works - it is cheap.

My toad had some gravel pitting coming through the infamous Confusion Hill Slide.

Thanks
Rick

I don't have any experiences with your idea,but I've been thinking of getting one of these...

I made a tow guard for our TOAD. Thread here:

Tow Guard

Put 8K last summer no problems, still holding up.

Cool!!

I think you put a plumber out of business for a day with all that PVC...

I took the "more is better" approach . . .

- Two-piece front end cover for Scion

- "Tow Gard" windshield protector -- http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...=7164&src=SRQB

- "Protect-A-Tow" shield -- http://protectatow.tripod.com/

I think the Protect-A-Tow provides the most protection.

The Protect-a-Tow works wonders, wouldn't tow without it. Highly recommend this product, protect's toad, coach and hitch. www.protectatow.com

I recently pickup a Karguard from Blue Ox. It fits well with the aventa II tow bar. It is very easy to attach.

For me I don't want anything flapping or rubbing against the toad (or coach for that matter.) Problems with bras are notorious and fairly common.

We are headed to Alaska this summer and wanted a shield of some sort for the Jeep. Today we purchased the Roadmaster toad shield - I forgot what they called it, it was fairly expensive (over $300) but it will work well with my Roadmaster tow bar and stow nicely.

Must be a Guardian?

Thought I'd provide the link,as I was here....

Wife said I needed a life,so I'm here on the internet shopping for one...

I have the Roadmaster Guardian and very pleased with it. I have towed a Wrangler and Liberty and never recieved the slightest damage to the front of the toad. It is also simple to put on and off if you have a Roadmaster tow bar.

You guys have made me reconsider the Blue Ox Underskirt purchase in favor of the Blue Ox KarGard

As I have a Blue Ox Alexus towbar,figured I'd do well sticking with a Blue Ox guard...

John,

The Roadmaster Guardian looks good and I am considering one to attach to my Sterling tow bar. However, it doesn't appear to provide any protection for the windshield. I found that a lot of really small gravel gets past my Horizons large mud flap and my windshield is pitted.

Thanks All for some input

One point I wonder about = There was hundreds of small pieces of gravel covering the windshield wipers of my toad (Matrix). This was passing by a heavy rubber shield hanging about 1 - 2" off the ground.
Would a shield by itself protect the windshield?
Any more input by people using either the Tow Guard or protect a tow = do any pebbles end up on the windshield?

Thanks
Rick
