Remember everything you "strip" off your $25-$30,000 vehicle decreases its value. If you want a beater save your money and go get an old CJ - no plastic. It will cost you less in the long run.

Is that legal in tennesse to run without fenders? Here in Missouri you can get ticketed. I had a buddy that did a few years ago.

Check out the January (2010) issue of 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine (Page 56). They outfitted a "plastic JK" with new armor which included new bumpers (of course), rocker panels, rear corner panels and fenders (replaced with better plastic fenders).

I'd suggest against metal fenders... The JK's sheet metal behind the fender is so thin that one good rub against a steel fender will cause the body metal behind the fender to buckle. Then you'll be looking at a real mess.

who cares about resale value? i don't know what your intentions are, but i'm keeping my JK forever. ok, well i guess if i have a son (or daughter, why not) he'll probably wind up getting it eventually, but that's a loooong way out
