AWOL did what you're asking about, trimming the rear quarter panels. Here's the thread on it https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/pr...my-97xj-24253/

Inner mud flap thing? I'm not sure what you mean.

Get rid of them, a lot of guys do nothing but after I got rid of mine I used pipe insulation from lowes. I got a 10ft piece and cut it in half, then stuffed them in there to fill the gap in the fender that faces the door hinges. You can use pipe insulation or a pool noodle. Either will work. Or like I said earlier, a lot of guys do nothing and have never had a problem. Before I did the insulation I would hear a lot of dirt grinding in the hinges when I opened or closed my door and now it stays a lot cleaner and quieter in there...
