appreciate the tips man.. door sill guards are the last thing on my list for a reason lol so yeah will probably skip those... have my eyes open on a few local jeep groups for the rubicon takeoff stuff but im in no rush since i dont wanna take it on any hard trails until the warranty is up

i was going to immediately get new tires but with the amount this thing costs me i decided to wear out these goodyears as much as im able to since ill get next to nothing if i sell them...

curious.. why the fuel door with snow?
The fuel door will just keep snow from piling into the recess surrounding the fuel cap.
It's the first thing I'm planning on buying after mine arrives.

seriously considering rokbloks but wondering how they hold up in rough winters... read a few reviews that say they chipped and if im gonna be replacing them often ill just go with something cheaper... that being said, they offer regular size and XL, anyone know how much more XL would cover or if regular size is sufficient ? also wondering the real benefit to the back flaps besides not spitting rocks at other cars? probably gonna order just the front ones but also wondering if the back ones would fit on the front so i can keep them in case the front ones chip...
Haven't had mine long enough to find out, but they're a fairly thick and semi-flexible polyurethane material, similar to the Rally Armour mud flaps that people have been using for years. I haven't heard about any deterioration from winter driving, but you're right, they're not cheap.

The standard fit are flush with the edge of your fender flares, while the XLs will stick out maybe an inch or less further. Not sure about the XLs, but while the regular ones stop a lot of crap, they still don't catch everything and I still hear a random stone 'ping' every once in a while. I knew this ahead of purchase, but just didn't like the appearance of the wider ones, at least with stock wheel and tire spacing.

I'm guessing a set of rears might help protect the underside of your bumper, but just be aware that their default installation requires removing a small section of your rear wheel liner, leaving that area a little unprotected and open to gather gunk. There are a few DIY methods to cut into that liner piece instead to allow it to remain in place (LINK).

And the front and rear flaps are definitely different, so don't think that's a workable idea at least not without a lot of cutting and drilling of new mounting points.

cool, probably just gonna go with the front for now... not looking to take anything apart so thanks for the info... not sure if u live in a snowing area but will they keep stuff off the back fenders? i mean i dont mind having a muddy jeep if i take it offroad but to have frozen slush and crap all over the doors and fenders just from driving down the street kinda sucks... went through the carwash and by the time i got home my doors were already a mess again lol

Yeah, I live in a snowy climate near the Great Lakes, though it hasn't been too bad so far this year. Drove through a few heavy snowfalls with the new Jeep and the front mudflaps seemed to help keep quite a bit of slush, snow and anti-skid from piling up on the doors, rear fenders and door handles (at least on my 2-door). Still had some build up, but it wasn't very much. Mostly just a light film from wet slush that already melted and sprayed up. Driving through the rain the following week was enough to wash it off.

Glad you posted this. My Rubicon has the stock 33s, 0 offset aftermarket wheels. I PPF’d A LOT including the entire rear fenders, added the standard Rokblokz b/c I wanted them fairly flush with the fender flares. I still get rock pings. They bounce off the rear flare and hit the tub, chip my paint. Annoying as hell but seems like even the wider flaps wouldn’t make much difference. I have no clue how guys running 35s or bigger have any paint left on the side of their JLs.

For me down in FL I’m already topless and doorless and the best things I have found to help are

Were you able to find a decent soft top boot for a 2 door JL as well as a cover?

Yeah I went with Smittybilt 700235 Soft Top Storage Boot and it secured it very well so you can see out of the rear view and looks a lot better. For the cover I went with a bigant, I wanted a locking one and it works well.

just picked up a 2023 2-door sport and got it as basic as possible minus michelin tires... i just cant stand the look of those... i will eventually mod but for now just looking to accessorize, especially wanna get ready to go naked this summer and im new to the jeep life so a bit overwhelmed by the number of aftermarket accessories available for this thing.

i picked up the mopar floor mats since the dealer gave me 100$ to use at the parts dept. and i love the look of the mopar stuff but will run me about 1200$ CAD for everything if im lucky so looking to save a little here... dont want no chinese stuff thatll break in 3 weeks but dont necessarily need OEM stuff either since i will be modding one day and wont keep the accessories forever

here's a list of stuff im looking to pick up before summer, any advice, links, pics etc. are much appreciated and bonus points if u know of places that ship to canada, because raingear for example does not..

- soft top storage bag
- rain cover for when its naked
- doors off mirror kit (that dont shake)
- tonneau cover
- door sill guards

thanks OIIIIIIO
The first thing we did was put on a set of N-Fab, nerf bars. I hate sliding off the side of the seat to get out, I don't want them to wear out any quicker than they have to. The wife and I are both 63, hopefully this Jeep will last us we'll into our retirement. Also, planning on putting on slightly larger tires this summer, so the step is helpful for getting in (especially as we start getting a little older)

Yeah, same. Really don't like the look of mud flaps, but the gravel in our parking lot at work is just the right coarseness that at least a few stones would get stuck in the tire each and every day and then launch themselves loose once I hit the highway. Tbh, the front-only flaps actually don't look too bad and aren't very noticeable imo.

If you're not hearing any rocks hit your doors or window, then I probably wouldn't worry about getting flaps right away. Or maybe take a quick few second drive through a gravel driveway or lot and see if its a problem once you hit pavement again. Might not be a problem at all with your particular tires.

The Weathertech's fit pretty nice!
