Default Wheel well splase guards

Keep em' or ditch em'?

Just installed my lift, the new tires ripped one of the flares off already. I removed the bumper plastic and flares, and now this splash guard sticks out.

So should I trim them and keep them, or ditch them and throw some more undercoating down there?

I tossed mine when I trimmed. I wish I kept them sometimes. Like Saturday for instance. I was coaxed to play in a mud hole. I had some splash on through the door jamb. But I did hit the mud hole and go sideways when the ps dropped off into mud deep as my tires . It took me 3 hrs to clean the jeep and my hatred for mud continues. It took no skill and I'll have that **** dropping in my face for years to come now. Rock are so much better

Sounds good, I'll keep them and trim them. Then I'll go to an auto parts store and get some fresh plastic studs to shove up in there and keep them there, since there are no more fender flare bolts to help hold them in. I'll also undercoat the inside some more anyway, it couldn't hurt.

Man I really butchered the title to the post cause I typed it up so fast. So much for auto correct hahaha.

Thanks for the help.

A pool noodle?? That's genius hahah. Maybe I'll give it a try, I do have a random pool noodle in my garage.
