My initial goal of getting the Rokblokz front+rear mud flaps was to protect the door panels/paint/hinges/handles from being damaged by small rocks and mud sprays. I know many people only get the front ones but I wanted to have a complete look so I got the rear ones too. Installed the front ones with no problem but the rear flaps required some extra work. Read several posts and folks suggested cutting the lower corner of the rear factory wheel well liner rather than completely removing that trim. I did the same in hope of protecting the wires behind that plastic trim.
Key points:
- cut off the lower corner of the trim that blocks those two bolts for mounting brackets
- reinstall the trim before mounting the brackets
- instead of using the double "frown", I had to use the double "smile" to gain a bit more headroom for hammering in the flaps
I was concerned about the final look, but still wanted the protection. The end result looks great! The size XL matches the XR's fender flares perfectly. And the rig looks more tactical to me.
