Default Retain inner fender lining?

Is it possible to retain the inner fender? Im wanting to trim to the last little "bump" line. How would I mount it back? Any writeups or info abybody would like to share? I searched but couldnt find any info at all.

Thanks.

I ment the front lining. Is there any way to keep it? There are not any I could find that involved keeping the lining in the front to keep the dirt out from door.

I have the noodles & they don't work all that great.Door hinges still get alot of grit in them when offroading.

Id imagine you could cut and fold the front to hold the liner but I don't know mine are zip tied to the fender and covered with bushwackers

Thats a big reason why I dont want to go with noodles. Plus i think the factory liner will look better.

Thats what I thought. I just dont wanna cut and fold to find out that my Liner is now useless.

Spray foam holds water & in turn,is prone to rust.

If you do any remotely serious wheeling then your tires are going to rip the liners out anyway. Weld in sheet metal or paint your pool noodles. The noodles aren't even visible unless you're looking for them.

Its not very serious and im going to bumpstop it some. I only have 31s on 3.5 inches. Liner should be fine. I wonder if a early model liner would be better?

Kept mine in, but they ripped out first time out. Now use pool noodles, which work fine.
