2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
My Gladiator Rubicon has less than 150 miles on it and it has become glaringly obvious I need some mud flaps. It is painting the sides brown and I am concerned not only with upkeep, but rock chips and such. Here is what it looks like just from the gravel road leading to my driveway.

I was hoping to see some pics of front mud flaps on Rubicon models so I can make a decision on which I like best, 'cause I need these things pronto.

Thanks in advance.

This- and might as well go with XL, X Long rokblox… yeah it looks a bit funny- but they are perfect when you move to a 37. ;)

For contex- the jeeps dirty… but we just came from the mountains driving in snow…. So doors are relatively clean given the conditions.

I think what makes a lot of folks hesitate with RokBlox is the price tag…. And ultimately for many they end up making this purchase twice… which makes matters worse.
rokblox are not aesthetically appealing in my opinion… and when you put them together/install them, at least for me- I had the thoughts of damn, this guy is making a killing on something so basic!!! But they work. They work well, and they cater to road warriors as well as offroad enthusiasts by being removable….

Function…

As an alternative to mud flaps, the Mopar running boards do a pretty good job of stopping rocks and mud, unless your off road activities might rip them off.

If you are not wheeling hard enough to rip off a set of running boards, the Mopar running boards do a pretty good job of stopping rocks and mud.
Nevermind, you said running boards not mud flaps.

I rewrote my post to be more clear about that.
Np. I had in haste written a reply about Mopar mud flaps and realized I was not even talking about the right thing with you, haha. From what I have gathered, the Mopar ones do not work on the Rubicon models. Wish this thing would have come with factory mud flaps.

Rok blokz, weathertech, anything just get them real soon, they all work, if you are getting really big tires get XL flaps, I have RokBloks regular long on my front and they are great, next thing was Mopar performance step slidres, no rocks hitting truck anymore and plenty of clearence, RokBlokz come off quick but are not cheap.....Jack

I have the Weathertech and they work perfectly with both the rock rails and now, the Mopar running boards. Super high quality and easy to install. Look factory. As you can tell, they do a great job keeping the salt off the sides and body seam which is why I got them.

Every Weathertech item I have bought has been awesome. Never the lowest cost. But they don’t have to ever apologize for what they shipped you.
