Is it benefical to remove both front and rear inner fender liners and if it is worth it? :juggle:

My rears have been gone since '04,the fronts have been half removed since the same time.I left the portion of the fronts that covers the gapping gap between the flare and body to keep junk out of that area but the rest of it's gone,used small self-tapping screws to hold in place(be careful where you put them though).

Depends on what you consider beneficial I guess and also what you want the outcome to be.
Never had an issue with mine so they're still in there

Front and rear?

Just in case you had never seen what it looks like with the flare / liner out here's Wildmans. In these it shows everything removed and his "personal" modifications already done.
just didn't know if you had seen what it looks like or not.

Any particular reason WHY you want to remove them? Your tire size fits easily with them in place (potentially with a little trimming for rubbing at full lock in the front). They also do a pretty good job keeping garbage out from inside your body panels. If it's cosmetic, then more power to ya, but I can't think of a mechanically necessary reason (other than mentioned) unless you're going for some big-time mods.

I have mine removed currently only because I got a set of spare fender flares and wanted to cut them as close to flat as possible. Wanted to see how it looked.

I would recommend against removing them. Just the short time I've had mine off driving in the rain and little mud my engine bay looks filthy as hell from it. I plan on tossing mine back on here in the next week.

Anyone remove their inner finder liners and want to sell one?
I need one for the right front, part of mine is missing. It was like that when I got Jeep. I would like to replace it.
PM me if interested.
