I've noticed on a lot of YouTube videos and photos of JGC's, they don't have mud flaps. I find the mud flaps are quite low and could easily get caught up when driving on sand.
So I have 3 questions...
Do they come standard with mud flaps or have mine been added as an extra?
How many people run with no mud flaps?
How does it go on gravel roads without mud flaps?
(I have a 2014 CRD WK2)
I’m running a 2014 GC also. Removed my mudflaps early on as did get caught when off road. Never had an issue with gravel or mud outside of what would normally be on your car from an off-road trip. Might be an issue with a van or a camper trailer though but not sure
"Mudflaps are not normally required on passenger car type vehicles. However, mudflaps
must be in place on vehicles where they form part of the wheelguard system such as on
some motorcycles, including motor tricycle(s), and vehicles with a tray type body.
i would argue that a WK2 GC is in fact an all wheel drive passenger car with off road capabilities
