90% sure that is the front fender. Looks like the plastic liner is hanging down.
My guess is he hasn't trimmed, flexed hard amd possibly fast, the tire went up and Hulk smashed (because the Jeep is green).

Also, they would be very difficult to mount in the bumper with modification to bumper, light and possibly body. Any suggestions of where I could put them?

Front of the jeep

Flush mount them into the rear hatch.

I've really been wanting to do this, but I don't know if I trust myself enough and if I mess up that's major.

those fit the old fiberglass hatch better than they would fit mine, they wouldn't be tucked in at all they would just stick out. If I had an early model that would be a great option though!

This may sound crazy, but I see 97+ hatches on Craigslist all the time for $50 or less. Could snag one and practice.

Flushed it(straight water, good n red), fresh 50/50 & a new thermostat.
