I forgot about that... in a video in the other thread, the reviewers commented how little room there is in the back. I guess it's a Cherokee after all...

The rear seat backs recline a bit to give a little more comfort.

For being a smaller vehicle, we find the interior comfortable and versatile. The fold down seats are great for those trips to Lowe's.

Won't really do much good about cutting fenders. The tire will be limited in size by the bottom mount on the front struts. You'd have to either have a spacer or a wheel with less backspacing to push the tire away from the strut.
