Rokblokz JL Front Mud Flaps not fitting on 2022 Willys JLU

[Strikeeagle345]

Hey everyone. I purchased the front only pack of the Rokblokz mud flaps and tried installing them today. However, the top outboard hole does not line up with the push pin hole on my wheel well fenders (circled in the install video screenshot below). The other two lineup fine. Note, I did remove the cutout for my rock slider rails, fit just fine there.

I also notice that my outboard vertical edge (outline below from the install video) does not sit inside of wheel well fender like in the video. it sticks behind and is not able to move to the inside. Any ideas? Do I need to reach out to Rokblokz?

I can take pictures of my issue tomorrow if anyone needs it to better understand what I am reference. Thanks for the help in advance.

Get rid of those ugly things and get Weathertech mudflaps - look OEM and fit like a glove.

Did the same for the fronts only. Bought the rears at the same time and decided I didn't need/want them and returned them.

Jury is out on how much protection the rears provide but there is no question the fronts are very effective and I think they look OEM. I may add the rears after I weather a winter. Time will tell but my main goal was to protect the paint. The rear bumper I don't care about... that will get plenty of abuse rock crawling.

I was concerned the WeatherTechs would get abused on the trails but I have yet to damage them. I think they look far better Rokblokz. Not knocking them as to how functional they are.

I installed mine 2 weeks ago, the day after I got my Jeep. I love the way they look
If I recall correctly, my one screw hole was off and didn't seem like it was gonna fit. I just angled the screw and flexed it a bit and it kinda snapped into place. That outside edge snaps into place like this:

Alright, I'll give it another go and see what's up. Thank you.

Got them install. I really had to fight with them and bend them to get the holes to line up.

Mine doesn't look like it lines up like yours do...

The weathertechs look great but they don't work with the steel bumpers nor the HD rock rails. Bummer for me because I like the Weathertech flaps.

Yeah, I agree. Mine seem "relaxed". And not bent like that... Hmmm

Yeah, I had to bend them in the middle for the outboard hole to come in enough for the thumb bolt to go through. Also, notice how much more my rock slider sticks out?

That does seem weird. I can't imagine it would matter, but mine is a '22 Willys.

yeah, mine is a '22 Willys JLU also, picked it up in July.

I mounted mine behind the splash guard and the plastic mounts as mentioned in the video. Did you do that too, or did you put yours between the splash guard and the plastic mounts?

 

[Yzfguy]

Behind the splash guard. Here's a closer pic.

ah, so that must be it then. Putting mine behind those plastic mounts as the install video says to do puts a ton of strain on the flap and moves it farther back. Thank you!

Wrong because i have the Mopar Steel bumper group and they fit like a glove. Look at my pictures….
