Not yet…was going to pull the trigger today on them but then saw the fine print of won’t work with mud flaps. This thing needs mud flaps worse so likely waiting until alternatives come out for either

That’s weird, I have a SR on order and could have sworn it would have let me add the finish package (mud flaps) without removing the side steps. Maybe I was wrong. 🤔

You can’t use front mudflaps with the running boards, you technically can use the rear ones only but that would look weird.

Did yours come with them, or did you add them on later?

If added on later, did you do it or have a dealership do it?



Yep. Same.

I added them after the fact and had the dealer install them.
Heres another pic.

Can you show the “fine print?” I’ve heard other folks say this too, but then there’s this:

weird…that appears to be the only site with that disclaimer and none of the actual Mopar dealer sites say that. I also checked the install manual and it doesn’t include that disclaimer. Checked the build tool as well and it still shows front and rear with floorboards. again, wish I knew why that site is saying this b/c I’d hate to be wrong.

I say if we can option it with both from the factory it should work. I set up product pages all the time for work and things are often wrongly done by 3rd party websites....

My daughter stepped on the 'no step' zone of the rear door yesterday. I am going to have to get these...if they don't work with the mud flaps than so be it....I think they are more important. Besides WeatherTech will likely come out with their own soon mud flaps too.

so the more I looked into it, I believe the wording is just a carry over the seller is using from previous models. The WK2 would not support mud flaps due to the side step design which was not “integrated” to replace the lower body sill like the WL.

From what I've read you should be able to use MOPAR mudflaps with the MOPAR side steps. That said, I've ordered some of the universal fit Rally Armor black urethane mudflaps b/c I don't like how 'pronounced' the side wrap of the MOPAR flaps is on my light silver Overland with its 'full paint' (not clean). The Rally Armor flaps can be trimmed and fit any way desired, and won't interfere with the side steps or the 'lines' of the vehicle the way the OEM ones do. (The OEM ones look fine on darker colors and lower models with black plastic trim, though).

Been trying to find more details on these running boards and how robust they’re made…? I want a set that are strong enough to off-road and beat the hell out of. Past Mopar parts were listed as rock sliders with step option. I get the feeling these are not the same and intended as a step and not a rock rail. Any details, input or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

They do look nice!

Thanks in advance!
