LOL!! no, i mean yank as in "remove" them from your jeep. the plastic underside of your fenders extend and attach to the outside of your factory fenders. if you remove the top part (the part you see), the underside will need to be trimmed to match the lines of your new flares. of course, if you just remove them altogether, you won't need to worry about it.

no, not necessarily. if you wish to keep the inner well liner, you will need to trim it down per the directions so that it mates up with your new bushwacker flat fenders. if you don't want to do this, you can just remove them. please see the write-up below as it should help you to understand what i am talking about.

I installed a set of Bushwacker flat flares. I chose them over Xenon because they are made of a Dura flex TPO UV resistant plastic. They can be left unfinished and they bend instead of break. For the install a small air reciprocating saw works best to cut the stock splash guards flush with the body. They really look good.
