Gents, how do you guys with Rubis and rock rails and painted fenders deal with paint chipping the front of the rear fenders???

Reason I ask, is that I've noticed that my front Duratracs throw anything they can, directly on my rear fenders.

Unlike Sahara models with their big sidesteps, the Rubi rock rails do a pretty shitty job at blocking anything thrown towards the rear.

Am seriously considering 3M on the front of the rear fenders.... How about you???

Mud flaps would be an easy fix. Rock rails aren't going to provide that sort of protection.

I actually have the factory mudflaps on my 2014 Sahara. I didn't ask for them, it just came that way. I figured I would broke one by now, but believe it or not, they are still holding strong even after trail use. I actually really like the fact I can slop through a mud hole or rocks not have to worry about debris. The picture below is not the greatest, but you get the idea

I dont have painted fenders, however, I have the Mopar front mud flaps and rock rails to keep most of the mud off the sides and rear fender. I am surprised that the flaps have lasted as long as they have. But there they are.

I know, not exactly what you were asking, but may be of some help.

Thanks all, will consider flaps if the 3M doesn't last, but will try that first.

I have the Sahara painted fenders and have modified rubi-rails with a step welded on. My rear fenders have seen some abuse from my 35" mud grapplers but I wouldn't say it is bad or even noticeable. I have more marks on them because of branch pin-stripping than slinging rocks.

Ok, 3M done. Hopefully it'll last.
