Default Front fenders
I have a 1990 Cherokee. I have the drivers front fender off the vehicle. Can I drive this while I'm waiting for a new fender?

I'd say check with your local municipality over us here on the forum for a solid answer.

I agree with JW. I am not sure of the laws here in Oklahoma, but I do see a few that have no front fenders running around.

It's legal here in Colorado as long as lights and turn signals are working. But is there a reason to not drive?

I did it on an old pathfinder I used to wheel, I would check with the law, in nc I don't think it's an issue but I know some states are picky about mud flaps haha

No, he's talking about his front fender that needs repaired. Believe it or not your front fender, along with your flare, help keep crap from flying up and onto your Jeep even in normal driving.

I know that but some states have fender flare laws where the tire can only stick out so far past the fender.

Alrighty, I guess I'm confused as to the point being made that brings up something related to the topic at hand.
