Thanks for the feedback. Great idea anyway. I appreciate your honest assessment as to often folks won't admit when their idea doesn't work out. I am bummed to hear it did work not only for you, but also for me as I think the solution looked much better than mud flaps. Glad to it won't help before I put holes in my sliders.Quite honestly, they didn't help. Because of the way the ACE Sliders angle in the front, they didn't help as much as I had hoped. I am still glad I done it because it looks different. They expanded metal is holding up well and haven't had any issues...that I can tell anyway but I haven't looked real close lately.
I ended up putting mudflaps on my Jeep. I know someone sells mudflaps that fits the Rubicon with the Rock Rails (https://rokblokz.com/collections/jeep-mud-flaps) but I didn't go that way. You can't really tell from these photos but here are the Mudflaps I put on: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002MA588/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1: I bought 2 sets of them and used the existing holes on front (there is a brace behind the fender) and a self-tapping screw into the end cap of the rock rails. The back was installed using the existing holes for the filler piece at the bumper. If you are interested, I can take better pictures tonight and post. Just let me know. (I basically just rigged them up.) Now...these helped keep stuff off my Jeep!!!
