Mudflap test...

[Robmypro]

I was pretty shocked to see how quickly my Rubicon gets dirty. One day i drove it to the carwash, and it was wasted by the time i got home. I bought some $27 universal mud flaps and put them on. I took them in the mud, dirt, and some wet roads, all in about 100 miles. Massive change.

This was before. No off roading. Just a bit wet outside.

Great comparison - thanks

What a difference. What company made the flaps and what material? How did they install, any drilling?

That’s because no running boards like on Saharas they act like mud flaps.

I ordered a 2-door Rubicon with painted fenders. I am probably join to take off the Rubicon rock rails and install the Mopar Sport Step. I hope that helps a little. I will probably Clear Bra the rear fenders too.

This universal mudflap solution looks promising also. Hopefully OP replies back with what type of flap he used and how he mounted them.

I have mud flaps on my Sahara and they work great with dirt and rocks.

Which flaps? I guess the Mopar flaps don't play feel with the Rubicon fenders and rock rails.

Yes, Mopar. They are an easy install on Sahara’s.

A company called Rokblokz is now advertising them for Rubicon. You can google search for them. Haven’t actually seen them, just the website pictures

There's a few JLUR installs of the Rokblokz on this thread:

I'm thinking of getting a set...

I ordered these.

Basically made them square (cut the long narrow section off and then used 2 existing holes towards the bottom of the fender. Just popped out the plastic fasteners. Replaced with nuts and bolts. $28 and maybe 1 hour total time.
