Review on Rugged Ridge 11642.10 Splash Guard Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK - 4 Piece, Black (2007-2018) by Gabe Evans

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great guards but took a little while to install

I bought these not knowing they weren't made for the 2015 JK. Luckily the contours of the front and rear fenders match those of the 2015 JK, the only problem is that some of the pre-drilled holes don't line up with the edges of the front wheel arches. Here are a few things I found: The bottom fender flare clip needs to be removed (yellow circle). The existing clearance hole in the expander matches the hole in the fender. The #1 green circle is pre-drilled in the fender, but is a few inches from the edge of the wheel well. I used a nut and bolt for this hole instead of the screw and clamp that came with it. The number 2 green circle needs to be drilled into the fender along the edge of the wheel arch. install protection. Now we come to the installation. First I determined which holes I would use and where I would drill my own. Remove the lower clip from the fender flare. Place the fender in place and drill the required holes. Place the first clip on the inner layer. fender flare and slide the plastic to the top hole, repeat for the second and bottom hole. (A second person is recommended to separate the two layers of the wing while the clamp is being moved). The three thumbscrews are the only tricky part of the build. I had to slot my original holes to line up the clamp. All other screws/clips are easy, just make sure you drill a hole close enough to the edge of the inner plastic for the clip to line up. smooth, no need to remove the rear wheel like other JK Guard reviews say.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So so
