Took my flares and all factory plastic off today. What to do with the inner fenders? Do i need them?

Just trim the edge off so you cant see em thats what i did. If you take them out fully mud and water will get everywhere

xjrev10

it cannot really go "everywhere." i just might make a plate for the rear part of the fender opening near the door to keep crap out of there but otherwise thats the only spot.

what about the horn things and the vaccum canister? they can be seen very easy. any relocation options that you know of?

They dont get everywhere. The only time that a problem could is when mud water hits the door hinges. Here's what mine looks like with out them

For the horn and vacuum, I haven't noticed any difference with removing the plastic

I dont have it covering my horns or vac. by everywhere I was reffering to the door jams guys also say in the winter cold air gets into the cab but if you make a plate im sure it would solve the problem.

xjrev10

no. what i mean is the eye sore ya know

just cut it if you want to keep it but i found that i don't care if they are there so i pulled them and threw them away.

I pulled mine out just because one side was destroyed when the tire came off and got up into the fender. The mud does get packed into the door jamb, but I always spray it out when I get home from playing.

this is exactly what i was hoping to hear. thank you.

I got tired of all the mud and crap that would collect on the hinges! I made my own inners out of aluminum plate. I didn't document the construction as i did them, but all you need to do is make a template with a piece of card board- spend some time making sure it fits good- then cut your chosen metal, and bend and tweek till it fits good. I used black sheet metal screws to attach them to the flares and the bottom fender bolt to attach the bottom. Check my albums to see a few pics...

^^ that is a nice idea. we don't get to much rain down in socal so it is not a big concern down here but i might have to use that idea just to keep the rocks and dust from collecting in there

just pull them out. that vacuum ball has enough line on it so you can move it up under the hood. i had to move mine when i put my bumper on

xjrev10
