I ran like that for a little while but as you see the mess is a little overwhelming. I don't mind a dirty jeep by any means, but topless and doorless would just be an awful mess inside anytime its wet. I really liked the look tho!! 35's looked a lot bigger

Was your jeep ever clean? I feel like any rain would cause tires to kick up all sorts of dirt

No not really. Wasn't worth the mess. Puddles in gravel parking lot made it look pretty dirty lol

Depends.. back in Maryland i went to Rausch about 2 times a month, and its not super muddy there, so i might still have them off. But down here in Tennesse we have some nice thick tacky mud and I wheel every weekend, so its not worth the mess to me. If you wheel in dry areas go for it.

It gave it a cool buggy look, made my loud ass flowmaster super 10 fit right in lol, but you gotta pay to play I also taped off and painted the wheel wells nicer too, that helped the look a lot

What I ended up doing was removing 4" off of each side and pop riveted the plastic together. ( tools needed jig saw, socketset and pop rivet gun
