Just installed front mud flaps (pics)

[KANE COUNTY ILLINOIS]

I just read a previous posting, that yours is a two-door, which probably doesn't have the 4-door problem!

Did no mods at all. My side steps line up perfectly with the body. They don't stick forward at all.

Lucky you! I like the tires!

I bought some of these, and got them in the mail a week ago. I am hesitating because the instructions definitely say to drill the wheel arch. I am struggling to want to do that.

Smaller issue, I have rock rails and definitely will need to cut a hole for the rails. Lesser issue, but a pain.

I have the 2 door. I did not have to drill anything. The 2 holes you need are already there. Not sure about a 4 door.

Did you remove the crash bars? I have a 4 door and as mentioned, they are 3/4 inch too long. I just haven't gotten up the nerve to cut them down and then work on the notches.

I swear those rails are plastic. I am going to try a heated box blade on the notches instead of a dremmel tool when I do it. Miter saw on the end and angle cuts.

Yeah, had the crash bars removed when I added the lift and 35s.

Looks great. So does your your Bronco. The tires look great on those wheels.

Nope. It comes with heavy duty clips that attach it to the fender flares without having to drill.

Are you still able to remove the wheel flares by removing the clips?

Yes. You are able to pop them off.

Yes. You are able to pop them off.

Thanks for the info! The instructions included with the mud flaps are terrible! Do you put the mud flaps behind the wheel liner? Are you able to take a photo of the installed front mud flap at some point? So I can get an idea of how it's installed? So no drilling? I see in the instructions that the tools needed includes a drill bit, or am I thinking of my rear mud flaps?

On top of the wheel liner. I have a 2 door non sas Bronco (added lift and tires later) and only installed the front flaps. Not sure about rear flaps, or differences if you are installing on a sasquatch. There are 2 pre drilled holes you use and 2 fender flare clips.

I was going to forego mud flaps - figured my 'soon to be installed' Rock Slide Engineering slider steps would suffice, but seeing that they still leave a pretty big gap at the front and driving in the foot of snow we just got I don't think I'm going to have a choice.

The snow/slush was just flying up the side of the Bronco - my door handles were caked, as was the front of the rear fender so much that it overlapped the back door by 4". I can only imagine that my sliders will be buried deep in slush if I do not get something...

Check out my mod.

I’ve been in touch w Rokblokz and (as usual at this stage in the game) was told Bronco flaps are in development.
