Pulling fender flares,permanently
 

i'm needing some advice on how to pull my flares. I really like how these jeeps look without the flares but i'm just worried about dealing with the inner fender. I live in Tn so i'm pretty sure you don't have to have flares. And help and or pictures is greatly appreciated

get in there and look for all the tiny nuts and bolts holding the fender on. take them off most of the time they snap. that will get the flare off. then there are bolts holding the piece of steel the fare rests on. take them off then you now have no flares. not too complicated and shouldn't take very long

well i took them off to paint them once.. starting to fade and just wanna get rid of them for good. . i'm mainly just concerned about what to do with the inner fenders

Just rip them out. They are gonna show and look like crap.

ok, but won't that cause issues?

Mine been out for years and never had a problem.

how are they held in?

i think just a few bolts at the bottom by the rocker panels. i just ripped mine out by hand because im impatient haha

did you guys just pull em off and leave it? or put some rubber molding back on just around the edges?

also, does your jeep drive any differently? didn't know if it would catch alot more wind or something.seriously thinking about doing this once i get outta this class

i dont notice anything different

It drove the same. You might get a draft by the door but somebody here stuffed a nerf worm in the crevice of the fender and problem solved.

good lol, i make a 8 hour round trip interstate drive every other weekend. . would hate for it to blow me all over the road lol

The XJ has never been good against wind.
It's a brick on wheels.

That says it all right there. Brick on wheels
