Who spent the 52 bucks and can take a picture of the mopar incompatibility with the JT rear fenders? Also. Probably if we wait a year the glad recon package will arrive and that problem will fix itself.?

I put these rock block z on last week before my snow trip. Do well in the heavy clay on my ranch. I didn't want to buy them, but when they gave me a discount for being a fireman I have in and bought the fronts didn't want to do that much for the rest. Mostly just the rear rock rail and bumper.

Rok Blokz are doing a solid job keeping my sides clean. I think my initial complaint/worry about the spray was more from other vehicles than it was about the flaps…

I can’t wait to get the backs on when the weather gets warmer.

Give me a month. I'll be picking mine up in a couple of weeks.

Also I'll probably just put the fronts on and if they come out with a Gladiator recon, I'll just spend another $52 to get the rears.

I received the Recon front flares. Just an fyi, non of the holes lines up with the overland fenders. The molding contour fits but must drills new holes to install.

I think it's meant for a Rubicon fender. See the holes in the photo.

Here's a few mock up photos. It's also more like dark grey instead of black. Hopefully this will helps for someone looking to get one.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but can you tell me how much extra tire coverage these flares give you? Thanks.

I realized about a month ago that the problem with dirt up the sides of my jeep wasn't because my fenders didn't go out enough. But because they didn't go down enough.

Look at the line of crap up the side of my truck. It begins at the BOTTOM of my fender.

Based on this I bought a set of black long, wide RokBlokz. Fronts only. Because look at how little dirt the rear tires fling.

I am VERY pleased. The side of the truck is now no dirtier than a normal car after some rain and a drive down a dirt road.

One other thing Front RokBlokz are the low hanging fruit. Like $70 and 10 minutes to install and they provide 90% of the benefit.

The rear ones are like $150 and take much longer to install because of the mount required.

So just get the fronts.

An inch at the top and taper to 1.5 inch toward the bottom.

Do you have a pic that shows the taper? Your original pics have a lot of shadows and make it hard to see. Appreciate it.
So you’re still satisfied with them?

I didn't permanently installed them due to the color being different, it was just a mocked up.

I still have to install my rears. Not in a huge rush. ?
