Default Adding front mud flaps???

Can't stand the winter road crap that coats my door handles. Just ordered front flaps only from the dealer. The rears won't solve my problem and dont' work with the Mopar steel bumper anyway.

Anybody else run front mud flaps in the winter? I have 35" MT MTZ's. I know they wont stop everything, but I'm hoping it will help.

Comments or Pics?

I put fronts on in the winter to keep the gravel from chipping paint, keeps door nice and clean. I just use the metal screws (also comes with plastic plugs) and take them off again in the spring. I used the plastic plugs the first time I put them on, but they were a pain to get out to remove the flap. I don'think I have any pics, but I will be putting them on soon since the snow has started flying.

I have a set of the Jeep ones.. they fit very well and are very strong, I have folded, crunched, and bashed them and they still look new. I run them all year to prevnet chips and crap as well
I hate mud flaps but I still put them on and I dont even notice them
here are a couple pics

Same here; front only. They work great and are easily removable if need be.

you could possibly get some sliders or sahara steps and that should reduce some of the sling. just a thought

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have the Mopar Enhanced Rock Rails and love them. They just don't stop much from spraying the door handles.

I never even thought about the tiny rocks that my tires throw around.
Have to be careful or my left elbow gets sandblasted.
