Hinge cover install

you could try this as well. I have them on mine. No chips so far, but who knows if it's from the tape doing its job or just luck so far.

Agreed, but I'm fighting with myself over the "old man" status that full length running boards and mud flaps brings.... And then there's the whole ripping them off on the trail problem...

Balancing act going on ya know?

Rockblox can be removed. I have steps and would add mud flaps, but I don't care what people think. A hard shell topper looks "old man".

That is the way I went with my stock wheels but found cheaper on AMAZON. now that I will be moving into wider wheels I decided to go with the Mopar performance rock rails to help with the stone chips on the hinges and fenders

Use alcohol to clean before using trim tape.

What are they supposed to be protecting the hinges from? I'm not seeing anything damaging my hinges.

Mine are just for looks

My comment wasn't meant to insult, didn't even see you had running boards..... But yeah, my camper shell does scream old man. I don't need to add more to it

Weathertech mud guards and Mopar touch up paint when those guards aren't enough!

I hope you didn't buy them from the dealer. There's cheaper ones on Amazon.

The tape should hold.

Less than $175? JK....I picked it up from Amazon

Are those solid black or the carbon ones. I'm looking for some solid flat black ones, not glossy and have had a tough time in the past finding some. Haven't tried looking in a while

Solid Black

Won't they get caught up off-road? Weathertech says no option for the 23 Mojave

I did the hood black out decal so the matte black hinge cover kind of helps some to cover the Hydro blue spot between the decal and the black cowl cover some .

Too much poke? Add fender extensions or get wheels that fit properly.

I've got 1 inch of poke, which in my opinion is exactly perfect. In MHO wheels and tires that ride inside the wheel wells makes trucks look top heavy and tippy. Doesn't suit my taste.

I'm smart enough to understand that my actions have consequences so I live with them or mitigate them. Just like when I go wheeling, I'm going to end up with some dents, scrapes and scratches. SO to mitigate my tire poke, I'm going to do either some very short mudflaps to knock down some of the rock chips or I'll find something to protect the hinges. ORRRRRRR, I'll just live with it because the hinge paint chips aren't anything compared to the crease I'm going to end up with on the bed at some point. ?‍

If you are running the stock Mojave rock rails (factory), they fit perfectly. The rails are the exact same as Rubicon.

If you have optional steps, they will not work.

As for getting caught up, I wouldn't know as I didn't off road mine.
