How much protection do they provide? I noticed this winter they had a lot of snow build up. The reason I ask, is if my Jeep didn't have them installed when I bought it. I would of never put them on due to the non painted look.

Ever so often I go down dirt roads to a friends cottage other then that its road use only.

 

For me I deff needed them. I'm spaced out 1.25" on all four corners, so I gets lots of slop on the rockers. Plus when you turn corners is when you'll destroy them

 

Yeah that's what I figured. Wish Jeep made a painted version. My old vehicles all had painted versions.

How much paint did you order from scratch wizard. I only have the two fronts. Was the clear coat needed ?

 

All they offered was the standard can size that you would buy at the auto store. You really need to do it right or don't do it at all. Plastic spray primer...three or four light coats...four light coats of body color....and four coats of clear. The clear offers a decent level of protection, plus your jeep has been cleared, so if you want it to match....you need the clear

 

do you have any larger pictures showing the whole jeep with the modified mudflaps?

 

 

Meow.

 

You're fighting a losing battle.

 

MDBones, that is some bad ass salt on there! YIKES!

 

I'm not at all concerned with the salt as that basically turns into a mist as the melting on the highways occurs. I'm just trying to keep the gravel, and rock chips off the rockers.

Understood. But for those shortening their mud flaps, that kind of defeats the purpose.

 

Looks great! Thanks!

 

Overland Express, they look so tiny I think your Jeep would look waaaaay better if you just took them off! They give you virtually 0 protection so what's the point of having them? No??

 

Hemi2. I understand what you mean. However because I have spacers on, the largest area of impact prior to installing the mud flaps was where the GRAND CHEROKEE lettering would be (in front), and up the lower side of rear bumper. I would literally get three inches of slush built up in those areas. Now with them installed I do not have build up. I trimmed them so severely....1 because I did not like the boxy look, and...2 they hung down way to far mostly in front. We have a four mile road to travel most weekends, that gets deep ruts in the spring/muddy season. I would tear them off the first 100 feet if I didn't trim the bottoms.

 

I gotcha! :thumbsup:

 

Do you guys have a link for them?

 

The Chinese ones?

Here are the ones I bought: Front Rear ABS FOR 2011 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Splash Guards MUD Flaps Mopar | eBay

 

For the folks who have had the Jeep rear guards on a while, do you find they really keep the mud/crud off the rear of the Jeep?

I have both on right now and not so sure on the looks especially on white. Fronts aren't too noticeable but thinking of removing the rears but was curious on some before/after experience from you if you've had both scenarios especially on the rear guards.

 

So far, I found both the front AND the rear flaps work great! :thumbsup:

 

Paint um....mine look great on my Billet Overland

 

On white I'm not sure that would fit as well as on Billet.

So far, I found both the front AND the rear flaps work great! :thumbsup:

With the Red I would see them looking good too. Maybe I just need to get used to the rears. Like the idea of them helping protect, just not sure how much they actually help....the fronts definitely do especially around corners!

 

Can anyone measure what size screws and bolts are used in the rear mudflaps? The bodyshop messed mine up after they fixed my rear bumper. Now it looks like shit. And I want the proper screws in place to secure the flaps. Tried to see if I could buy just the installation hardware, but nope. Have to buy mud flaps with it if I want them.

 

I hate mudflaps but I'm still using them simply to protect the paint...
Maybe I take them off after 4 years.

 

Has anybody measured the length of the various mud flaps to see if the Husky ones are shorter (or longer) than the OEM Mopar ones? I want shorter ones one the front for sure but am thinking about the OEM ones on the rear.

 

Would really appreciate someone with the Mopar flaps measuring how far they extend below the fender. Husky was kind enough to give me their flap measurements ... The front mudguard part #58101 is 9.5” wide and 5.25” long below the fender.* The rear mudguard 59101 is 9.75” wide and 5.5” long below the fender.

Would like the same measurements on the Mopar and any other flaps in use out there.

Thanks

Robertss1, check posts #94 and #96 on this thread. They have measurements that should help you.

 

Mine are Mopar - I will measure them this evening when I get home from work.

 

I have the oem installed. They do take a beating and keep on ticking. I have a bad habit of running over the trash bag (my son sets it too close to the end of the driveway) and have entered and exited the driveway in "EXIT" mode (6" or so rounded curb type) and have scraped them soundly. To my surprise no ragged edges. I can't believe it, but no damage. Aesthetically I'm not thrilled with them, but when it comes to washing and waxing I'm not finding any nicks or chips. Wish I could say the same for the front fascia. I've driven them through a foot of snow with no issues. Yes the ice builds up, but not creating any problems. Without them I noticed a fugly swirl of road scum built up on the rear doors and quarters. So except for looks I'm very happy.

 

Just measured mine:

The were from China/E-bay, (can't locate seller at the moment) with Jeep emblem on the rear set, but the front's were shorter which I wanted. Just below the side steps.

The rears needed a small mod to clear the mufflers but went on with extra clips I purchased from Auto shop.

The front ones measure 130mm or 6 1/4" from the ground to the bottom.

Those front ones won't do much protecting...

Are front splash guards available for a 2015 HA from Mopar? I am only seeing rear ones on their web site and I called the dealer and they dident seem to know.


I see Husky has some. Do they work on the Overland HA? Anyone got any pics with them?

 

The Dealer put the ones from his 2014 book on my 2015 Overland when I picked up my vehicle.

 

does anyone know if mopar makes front mudflaps for 15 altitude? I'm finding a hard time finding ones for the front. The rear i can find. Dealer says they only have rear no front ones.
