So I got a set of Weather Tech mud flaps for my Sport S. The pair I got are for the front. Why would Weather Tech only make fronts? I emailed them and they responded that they will email me when the rears come available. Why not make a complete set? Sorry if this had been discusses already

Rokblokz, which I have, came out with fronts first also. Fronts just attach to the bottom of the flare, plastic flap and thumbscrews. Rears require a metal bracket bolted to the frame to suspend the flap, so that takes more engineering work to release a product than the fronts.

Well if you think about it - the fronts are the same as a JL Wrangler - so engineering is done already - Monetize what you have. The rears on the JT won't take long once they get to it and in reality may not get the same attention as the front -

My theory any way - enjoy

even stranger that they would make for one model and not the rest. Here is the email I got this morning

And also, it's the front tires that kill the paint on the rockers, doors, rear fender, bedsides, etc. That's the important area to cover.

I went with the RokBlokz because they offer more coverage than WeatherTech, but, even the RokBlokz left out a large chunk of area that should have been covered.
