After extensive research I chose the WeatherTech brand of mudflaps due to them being truly no drill.

Now, I'll just say I'm not a big mudflap fan for a Jeep, but after only 4K miles, my hinges are beat TF up from flying rocks and that pisses me off.

The flaps fit like a glove. The install was easy as pie once I figured it out. The first side took an hour to install, the other side 20 minutes. Ha! 🙂

I have them too front only. Same situation, first one took a little time, then once the lay of the land is known from that one, the second one installs much faster and simpler.

My primary holdup was my uncertainty on those plastic rivets as I had never dealt with them before, only the Christmas Tree ones. Once I got one out and could see how they work it was easy. 3 punched out and one I had to drill.

I'm not certain why I got rears, but I did and since I bought local from a small business I'm not gonna return them. I'll put them on sometime or I won't.

I bought these at Harbor Freight and they worked well.

I put them on the front only to save my hinges and rear fender flare. So far after 4-5 months they've held up good and I hardly notice them anymore.

the rears actually look like they belong.

My fronts fit like a glove, the rear, not so much. I just left them off.
the trick is to reuse the existing clips on the rears to screw them in, instead of removing them and installing the new clips provided. mine are nice and tight with no gaps.

We only have them on the front of our JLR. They really help to eliminate the rock chips.
