Ok on your jeeps those front fender skirt/liners that pop and what not do you guys still have those in or have you removed em? Mine are breaking apart and wondering if it would be best to just replace them or just remove em completely?

Long gone!! You may want to patch up the vents in the doors, as they let a lot of COLD air in. At least mine do, but I'm somewhat of a polar bear, and seem to be able to deal with it. Later!

well if your talking about the plactic liners in the wheel well lots of guys remove them when they trim the fenders or for more clearence its easier to clean but it wont protect the body as much you might remove it and shoot some bed liner on there to protect it

If you’re talking about the liners in the wheel wells, I had to modify mine when I cut the fenders but I still have them. They keep the mud out of the little cracks and crevasses.

Mine hit the trash can, then I cut a pool noodle to fit back in between the fender and body, so mud wouldn't come back in the door opening.

I don't plan on any fender trimming but mine are falling apart so they must go....I may replace em but then again I will likely just toss em in the trash..lol

I like the bed liner idea. I think that would look as sharp as stock, if not sharper!!
