What state are u in. I'm in Arizona and the law says that on "trucks" u have to have mud flaps that cover the tires that stick out past the fenders. If u look at your registration a jeep wrangler is classified as a station wagon and since the law can't hold u to the same law as "trucks". A nice little loop hole.
Splashguards required
48 Every motor vehicle and every trailer, except a farm trailer, shall, when upon a highway, be equipped with splashguards or fenders adequate to reduce effectively the wheel spray or splash of water from the roadway to the rear thereof, unless adequate protection is afforded by the body of the motor vehicle or trailer or by a trailer drawn by the motor vehicle; and the splashguard shall comply with the standards prescribed therefor under the regulations.
DEFINITIONS
2.1 Special Motor Vehicles * -passenger vehicles, trucks and buses which are intended for the use on public highways, the term "Special Motor Vehicle" shall include the following types:
…TYPE I Vehicles which retain their original body configuration with changes made to the steering, brakes, power train or suspension systems…
FENDERS
18.1 Every special motor vehicle shall be equipped with fenders and/or adequate body coverage designed to cover the entire tread width that comes in contact with the road surface. Coverage of the tire tread circumference shall be from at least 15 degrees in front to at least 90 degrees to the rear of the vertical center line at each wheel measured from the center of wheel rotation. At no time shall the fender or adequate body coverage contact the tire.
What is the length of the horizontal bar?
Hate the stripe down the middle, is there anything that matches color and texture to the factory flares?

Research unfolds... Law is not specific to "trucks" and says "all vehicles"

I may not need to do that, depending on how long the horizontal bar is... it's the outer side edge of tire tread that has to be covered. Anyone know how long that bar is?
How do these bolt to the vehicle... both front and back, please?
