The orange logos tie in nice with your color scheme!

Off topic, but what is that attached to your rear door hinges?
Thanks!

They’re Smittybilt Atlas door steps. I painted the step part to match the rest of the Jeep

Once my sliders arrive, I will be ordering a set of these flaps for the front. They look great!

Someone else asked this a few posts back quoting someone else, but since you have the XL's installed, was there much adjustability laterally with the flaps? In other words, was there any leeway to install them tucked further in and not have the XLs sticking out from the vehicle quite so far?
Mine are the XL's and they are tucked in all the way in the photos

I assume the vendor could do black screws in the future if there were enough requests?

Ok, here is my setup. Installed with the plastic on the rear


Luis, liked your modification to the rear. I just got through doing it to mine. Thanks for sharing.

I installed mine today and although I like the way they look, I am disappointed that that lower cover isn't able to be reinstalled. The mud flap covers the lower portion of the opening behind the wheel but there is a couple of inches between the flap and the larger wheel well liner where tire spray will go. I can see the wires leading to my parking sensors up in there.
Check out Luis’s modifications. I just did it to cover the upper portion.

I just got ready to post how disappointed I am in having to remove the fender liner, but I see someone has already figured it out. I will review and install the rears in that fashion. I love this Forum.

I installed the fronts today and gave them a Colorado testin’. It has been snowing a lot. Here is what the sides looked like before and after my joy ride. I would say it removed 3 of the 4 hinges from danger of rock chips.

I like it. I will try this next weekend. Did you have to mount up the flap, per the instructions and then install the fender liner as the last step or is there a special order of reassembly?

Thanks for figuring this out. I was not excited about removing that liner.

I see. Excellent! I will make this modification to mine as soon as I get a chance to remove the snow/salt from the wheel well. The day after installing the RokBlokz we had a couple of inches of snow.

Excellent work Louis. I will be trying this myself by next weekend. It snowed today and I have all kinds of junk up in that space, covering a wiring connector.

I had my 2 door out in the slush today and had similar results to yours, Geos7812. My front hinges are clean, driver's door isn't splashed up on but the rear fender was still covered. My fenders are black plastic so there isn't much harm.

Thanks, I was hoping someone with a two-door would report their results. Did you get the regular or the XL?

Noticed today that WeatherTech has JL mudflaps up on their website now...for all models but the Rubicon. :facepalm:

It’s all about the Rubi cut out that RokBlokz offers man. That is a slick little deal and the fit around the rails with the cutouts is fantastic. Good for them for creating a killer product.
