Do mud flaps make a difference (protect my driver's door handle from road grit/mud)?

If your tires pocke out a bit, you might wanna supplement mud guards with fender extenders.

Was about to buy the Rokblokz... Had them in my cart and already thought they were overpriced, but then they tack on another $12 for "shipping protection". That's an absolute scam, so I'm looking at others. $12 won't break me, but it's the principle.

I like the look of the Weathertechs, and have had them on previous vehicles. They are technically removable-- like everything else on this vehicle.

There's a lot 3rd party stuff that isn't bad, either. Just because they don't gouge you with a name fee, doesn't mean they won't keep debris off your vehicle. They're mudflaps. This isn't rocket science.

What brand are these fender extenders? I do have slight tire poke due to my offset and still get an occasional door hinge chip. Thanks!

Hmmmmm…. will need to try it again. I had called WT, they really were not helpful and told me I need to talk to who sold me the item?. Thank you. Appreciate it ??

Here is another website that sells them. They do specify Rubicon or Mojave with standard rock rails. Also look at the pics. If yours don't look like these, they may have sent you the incorrect ones.

? thanks! After some YouTube & this forum, I did a late night Amazon binge ?. Also, I was in the middle of an insurance claim…. Some bumper car driving lady HIT my parked Jeep when it was 2 months old ?. So I never got around to installing or trying to several months later…

Less than 1K on my JTR and definitely feeling the need for these. Black shows everything and I like mine staying shiny. thanks for all the recommendations here. WTs do look a bit more "factory" to me so I will probably give those a try first.

The ones for the Rubicon work perfectly since the standard rock rails are identical to the Mojave. IF you have optional heavy-duty rails or side steps, they will not work.

Weathertech does work perfectly with the Mopar side steps.

Mine have a pocket for the rock rails. I didn't realize they would allow enough clearance from the optional side steps. Duly noted!

Yes I was pretty impressed with the care WeatherTech did to give us some nice flaps that fit a Rubicon and factory side steps. I'm a long time customer of theirs. Easy install too. Great design.

I'm a fan of the Weathertechs.

I had them on the front on my '20 JLUR and they did the job at keeping the door handles clean even from slinging some mud off-roading. They also held up to trail runs in Ouray/Silverton Colorado and multiple SMORR trips in SW Missouri. 3 years of use with no issues.

I went with front and rears on the JTRD because of the longer rear overhang of the bed.

Love the look of these. I have a Sport S Max Tow, 37x13.5's. Do you think they will be wide enough to cover the tire poke?

 

[Empty Pockets]

I have the Weathertech as well, front and rear . They’re great. I did a fairly challenging trail in N Georgia (Sarah’s Creek) with no contact or issues. You can see the mud on my steps, but the flaps keep the side of the Jeep clean.

First mod I put on, the Mapar Mudflaps.

Second as my wheels have some poke, where the Evil Bay Fender Extenders.

Finally put on some Evil Bay hinge covers, cheap, and they do get banged up, easy to replace.

I did RockBlokz wide mudflaps, no fender extender.

By the time anything would make it past the fender it's going to shoot up, not back at the paint, so I didn't bother. So far the mudflaps are keeping almost everything off the side of the truck.
