Stupid KJ question - AUSJEEPOFFROAD.COM Jeep News Australia and New Zealand

Sorry for the stupid question but anyway ...

If anyone has a Cherokee Limited can they tell me if it came with rear moulded mud flaps as standard ?

I asked the dealer to add front and rear mud flaps but he assures me the Limited comes with rear mud flaps already fitted and I need only add front ones.

Every pic I have seen in brochures has no rear mud flaps and I forgot to look at this when I was at the dealership.

Thanks.

i have a 2001 and only little flaps on back. i dont think they are standard fitted. (a) get ripped off perhaps (b) lots of $'s to be made by jeep as after sales

I have an 02 Limited. It came standard with rear only plastic mudflaps about 12 inches long. They looked ugly and i ripped the drivers side one off second time we went on the beach. I also know some one else with a Limited and they too ripped the drivers side one off in soft sand. I have replaced them now with "shorter ones" from Jeep. These look much nicer in my opinion and have not been damaged yet. Hope this helps.

P.S. no such thing as a dumb question.

Hi Jeep Fan, I am into my second KJ and they do come with rear mud flaps, and they are tooo long so instead of buying shorter ones I just trimmed about 75 mm off the existing flaps and don't have any more problems.Its also cheaper.

Thanks everyone ! Good info here.

Also, anyone have any recommendations on aftermarket bullbars and towbars, ie. TJM or someone else ? I am not after a full width bullbar but something to mount some extra fog lights on.

I have also read the Jeep towbar isn't so good.

What have you heard about the tow bars? A friend of mine has a Jeep tow bar and has had no problems. Have you seen the Jeep nudge bar?

I was about to fit a TJM Nudge bar but plans have changed. Out of about 20 people i know who have seen the TJM Bar my wife & I are the only ones who like it. I have seen the full ARB bar on a KJ colour coded at our local dealership here i brissy and i personally arent that keen on it. I have seen lots of "genuine" Jeep nudge bars and i think they are quite okay looking. I havent seen an ARB nudge bar yet. However i also quite like the look of the East Coast Bars Series 2 76mm Bar. As i have seen one of those fitted on a KJ as well. Go have a look at www.ecb.com.au and they have all the pics on their site. Hope i have been of help.
