Here is a before and after picture of the rear tire with a piece of the fender liner removed. Was only 3 bolts per side and was easy to remove

Does anyone make an aftermarket fender liner piece that doesn't rub (looks nice but is contoured differently)??

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Ace & Artec make inner liners. Ace is a little bit of a pain to install.
The Artec logo is a bit on the gaudy side for me, but they cover more real estate than the Ace liners.

So I have been having fun with Plastdip. Already posted about doing the front bumper tow hooks white, trail rated badge and key holes black. I have now done the Jeep emblems and the gas door, and still need to use the hobby knife to clean them up a little. I might do the the door (possibly the hood) hinges next.

I only plastdiped the door, not the frame... color match is damn close

On top of the Plastidip additions I removed the MOAB logo and added the mopar third break light relocation kit. So far other than the wheels all mods are mopar or completely removable.

After: Now I feel I need to do something in the area where MOAB stickers were to break up the white.

View attachment 147699 View attachment 147700 View attachment 147701 View attachment 147702 Installed 37 x 12.50 x 17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the Jeep, mounted on the Quadratec Hardrock wheels. Dropped it off to get a 2” Mopar lift after the tires were installed. Tires were rubbing the fender liners so I removed part of the fender liner to get me to the shop.
It seems weird to me that your tire was so close to the liner. I run the same tires (albeit on a different wheel) and they're nowhere near as close.

Your signature says you're running 35s; his are 37s

How's the wind noise? I was looking at that same rack. Also, were the attachments on the rear window hinges an issue?
Noise wise really can't tell much of a difference must be my fancy overpriced Mopar headliner lol. I bet it would be louder if I put in the middle section so it would move it up front above my head. But there is no whistle or anything. Back hinges we're a breeze I did break the plastic cover on the first one DONT GRAB IT FROM THE TOP AND PULL pry from bottom unclip and then lift straight up to remove top clips. I did have a slight issue with the clamp above back doors on drivers side it was just slightly touching top of door when door closed not enough to damage paint but could feel it when closing. I just bent the l shaped clamp it was probably at 87deg and I bent it to 93deg now no issues clearing. Like another member complained was a blue Jeep the included hardware could be better quality. I am replacing what I can with stainless and getting the plastic nut caps to cover them and be black. Like this https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Trader...1294565&s=gateway&sprefix=plastic+nut+&sr=8-3
