Removing Fender Flares
If I remove my fender flares do I remove the wheel well plastics or is there a way to secure them?
Sorry this is on my 99 XJ.

You will have to trim them. Just remove them and call it good. If your worried about stuff getting in the door jamb go buy a $2 pool noodle and shove it in the fender

.....are you serious? Do other drivers a favor ans stop driving it on the road! That is the most unsafe thing ever! You hit one bump wrong that axle is going to roll under its self and possibly kill you and some innocent people
thanks odgreen89on35s! I like the noodle idea. I wasnt sure if the plastics were essential or not. I have my passenger side flare missing and the plastics are cut and zipped tied using the holes on the wheel well. the plastics will be gone tomorrow.

I know this is talked about alot and there was a discussion on it a few days back. But my neighbor and a few other xj guys in my area were telling me not to remove my doors because the unibody will prevent them from going in properly and sealing. I know you guys say its ok, but these guys say theyve done it and had issues with them goin back on. Opinions? Or should I just buy tube doors or half doors to make sure?

Your doors ARE NOT part of the structrual strength of the jeep. so if you twist the unibody, does not matter if doors are on or off. They would not seal right.
Just check your state laws for no doors!
