Mudflaps and Rubicon Flares?

[OutlawBeard]

I own a 2-door Sport with the same rock sliders, and it looks like they protrude into the wheel well as much as yours do. I discussed with RokBlokz directly last week, but they do not make cut-outs for these sliders, even though they are a MOPAR factory option.

Unless someone has figured out a better solution, the only thing we can do is purchase the solid flaps and make our own cut-outs for the sliders. I am a terrible artist, but bought a set of flaps anyway. For how much they cost, I just hope I don't mess them up! Appreciate any pointers from those who might have done this already.

This is essentially what mine look like, I don't see a way to attach the flap without cutting a hole in it

Just cut a hole with a dremel takes 5 minutes for a custom fit

I really didn't want to cut a hole, mainly because next year I plan on swapping the rock rails out for something else, I ended up installing the top 2 bolts like rokblokz suggested and the lower one I just have zip tied for the time being, I'm going to get some longer M6 bolts and use nylon spacers for my final install.

Thanks, Gary...I considered starting with the Rubicon sliders too, but their profile is much different than the heavy-duty sliders. Better to just trace and cut from scratch. However, I'm hoping that the alternate installation instructions I linked above, will work in this situation. Seems promising, and I hope it helps others who haven't discovered it yet.

I have RokBlokz with Mopar Performance Sliders too. I started with the ones with standard Rubi Slider cut out. I followed these steps: 1.) mounted flap to Jeep, 2.) traced Performace Slider profile onto flap, 3.) removed flap, 4.) removed standard Rubi Slider “knock out” 5.) cut out additional profile of Performance Slider with coping saw and dremel took.

From what I remember, the inner (nearest to drive shaft) profile of the standard Rubi Slider and the Performance Slider are nearly identical.

Thanks for the post. It led me to do the same!!
