sick of the mud/salt/shxt spraying up on the sides after i drive one block...i have the rubi unlimited, and so I dont have running boards (dont want them either), so looking at the Mopar splash guards online (with their awesome website consisting of no pics)...thanks guys.

Do i need 4, or would just the front wheels done look ok?

 

I hated the mud splashing up on the sides as well so I got the Jeep mud flaps, they seem ok and do a good job but they hand awfully low and now I am worried about tearing them off when wheeling. I guess it is a trade off that you will have to consider yourself. I only got them for the front because I did not care if the mud splashed up behind me.

Not the best picture but you can see the mud flaps on the front.

 

If you ever decide to get the off-road bumpers, the mud flaps will have to go!

 

thx! i appreciate the pic

 

This is a follow-up to the answer I gave you on the other forum.

For serious off road use, they are not practical, but for street or in my case beach use, they are fine. As for front only, I had bought both sets, installed only the front and had good look at it and did not like the view, on went the back ones.

I my opinion, it's like leaving your house on a sunny, warm day and putting on only one shoe, sure, you may not need any, but how does it look.

Just my 2 c.

 

I made these up out of some aluminum I had laying around. I have the mopar tubular side steps though and used the screw that holds the front cap on as a mounting point.

 

I know your question is about the mud flaps, but--

I ended up adding the side steps for this purpose, knowing that when I go off road I'll be removing them.

For the winters up here, the side steps do an awesome job of deflecting road sludge, so I'm happy. Plus, their style goes very well with the stock JK fenders & bumpers.

 

thanks guys. i just ordered both front and back, though ill install only the fronts first and see how they look without the rear ones on...im still waiting for my mopar $50 you get when you purchase new....i like how that takes forever apparently...

 

I find with the factory side steps on their is almost no road grim thrown up on the side of my Jeep. It all goes under the steps.

 

See the link for the front mud flaps on my Rubi. It's an unlimited, and looks fine with just the front flaps. There isn't really much of a need for flaps in the back. There's not much aft of the rear tires to protect...
