I just put them on my Overland - at first I thought they where big and hung down too low, but with the huge 20" tires I guess they are in proportion. I would not put them on if you plan to do off road stuff.
Good to know as they did not seem super strong and the mounting was not that rugged either - I pictured 6" of ice & snow packed in there and seeing them fall off. If they work good in Canada should be fine in Massachusetts.
Explain...you mean it looks like it has too many accessories on it like the addition of running boards or wind deflectors? Not sure how mud flaps cheapen a SUV.
The MudFlaps was the first thing i removed on my LR Defender. But well, i see you guys put ugly "covers or socks" on the front of your car and.... yes, it helps to protect the car and the following, it just does not look good ;-). I maybe would think about it when i would drive my car most of the time in "bad roads" (don't know the word in english).
Does anyone have a picture that shows the whole Jeep with the mudflaps? I can't really tell how they diminish or improve the look of the vehicle from the close up shots.
I don't think mudflaps look good on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have a 2005 WK and live in an area with plenty of messy streets and I don't see a need for them.
I have them on my '96 and am glad I did. It really kept the vehicle looking good-saved the paint. I am also putting them on my Overland. I have already called my dealer to order them and have them installed. It is just a personal preference.
I installed them on mine. Oregon rains too much and the mud flaps help reduce the amount of mud or dirt from the road I get on my car.
I dont think they look cheap and I installed them myself (pretty simple). I do believe they are very strong so they wont fall off.
They look ok on the black or dark CG but I think they may stick out too much on white or red.... just my opinion without having seen them on the lighter GCs. I would like to see them on a lighter GC to appreciate the full aesthetic.
I finally caved in and bought the splash guards. I didn't like how the front tires sprayed the side of the vehicle. To make things worst, I have very agressive tires, so I'm scared that rocks and debris will be kicked up and ruin the bottom of the doors, especially the rear doors.
Will be getting them tonight, gonna install them over the weekend. I'll try to take some pics during the install.:thumbsup:
I just ordered the mud flaps for mine. I am hoping that they will look good with the Black Overland. I need them where I live as I drive 8 miles off road to my home out here in the sticks.
I will post pictures one I get the vehicle which will be next Tuesday if all goes well.
Hey Tinkan, I just got mud flaps thrown in the deal for my white Overland that is supposed to arrive sometime in the next week or two - I live nine miles off pavement (in AR instead of AZ) so the white car will usually be a mixture of clay/dust/mud as your's probably is too. I'm hoping the flaps will help keep some of the heavier stuff off the side of the car - I have them on all of our other vehicles.
I have had them on my H3 from day 1 and would not do without them. During the rain season here I have to drive through a 2 to 3 foot deep creek to get to and leave my home. I hope the Jeep ones are as strong as my H3 ones.
As I am getting a great discount for my Overland they are not willing to deal on anything.
