Greetings guys,

In my quest to continue to wisely equip my jeep, I can't help but be afraid to install splash guards due to fright to ruin the ''look''.

So far I'm pretty proud of the way that I keep my urge to ''build'' under control and keep a function over look approach. But my 10A came with these rock sliders/guards that do a very poor job protecting the Jeep sides and rear fender from the rock throwing that the front Duratracs puts them through.

So, Splash guards, who's got them and do you regret putting them on ???

Also, which ones to get ???

Pics would be nice too.

I have the factory splash guards on my 2014 JK. I didn't ask for them, it came with them already installed. I figured first trip out they would get ripped off. Surprisingly, they are holding on just fine and they do a really good job of keep mud, rocks, and other debris off the side of my new jeep. I highly recommend.

Good, cause winter time, my jeep was only anvil in the front:-) the whole side got white with salt spray.

But did any of you thought that they took away from the "look" and regretted putting them on and are considering taking them off???

they are easy to put off and on. I have removed mine a couple of times but one muddy road makes me put them back on. The mopar ones are cheap and if you don't like them just pull them off.

I doubt they would work. The back ones do not do much anyway other then protect the vehicle behind you.
