no fender liners?
if it bad to run without the fender liners? i got a set of smittybilt flares for xmas. i may catch some dirt and water splash, but is that a big deal? i kinda like the way it looks with no liners..kinda like an old fighter plane..
thanks

i veeery briefly ran mine sans liners when i cut my fenders , and to me it aint worth it , you would be amazed at how much shit they keep off your engine . it does lookcool without em tho , i agree with that

I persponally would not run without them, but I doubt it will really cause much issue other than getting your engine compartment dirty. I suppose you could possibly suck water in the intake easier without them during high water crossings.

I run without them in the rear & just have them cut in the front. I like the protection of the motor, and it's pretty easy to cut them to work well, and fasten them at the back of the liner to keep them from flapping.
crappy pic, but it shows how the cut front fender looks... not spectacular, but it does the job it's supposed to do & doesn't flap around.
If I recall I put about 4 self tapping wafer heads in it, 2 at the lower back flap, and then two up top to keep it tight.
It's not gonna win a show, but it's not horrid either I don't think.

FWIW- I remember reading a thread like this awhile back and a lot of people said it dropped the under hood temp some which could be a plus I guess if you lived in hell?
