No mud guards landed me a 115$ ticket, check you local laws. A removable set for heavy rain/snowy days might be a good idea.

unless you're required by law to have them, i wouldn't recommend them even if you liked the way they looked. while you're doing your 10% of mild off-roading on loose river rock, i can almost guarantee that you'll tear them off. i have seen it happen many times before.

I put the Mopar Jeep mud flaps on my new COD Rubicon and I think they look nice. I feel they are worth the money in the long run.

I have the Mopar mud flaps...they were on it when I bought the Jeep. I just don't know how well they're gonna work once I get my rear aftermarket bumper. I think the XHD bumper that I want to get has different lines than the stock bumper, so the flaps might not fit right. Probably end up just taking them off anyways.
