Gap between fender liner and stock fender flares - mud trap
I have 35" tires with the 3" lift and the tires end up splashing significant amounts of mud up the gap between the fender liners and the stock fender flares. Jeep made a 3" wide gap there (both front and rear - maybe where mud flaps are suppose to go?). Mud packs in the gap so even after a good car wash you have to specifically hose out between the fender flares and the liner to get out the packed mud. I don't want to go to flat fenders, as I like the stock look, and mud flaps would break off on the trails, Other than making a custom sheet metal filler, are there any available caps to fill this area?

In all my time on the forums, I've never heard a complaint about this.
Stay out of the mud and you'll be all set. Most of us don't even have stock liners. Mud gets everywhere. Shoot, most have permanent mud in our jeeps.
If you don't like the extra cleaning after wheeling in mud, check out a Toyota FJ or Hummer H2.

I have pressure washer and don't mind at all washing off mud after fun on the trail. I don't need a Hummer or Toyota but thanks for the thoughtful and intelligent advice.
