Inner fender liners recommendations

[No Spark V6]

I'm looking for a set of front inner fender liners for my 2021 diesel to replace my Motobilt inner fender liner. I have the Motobilt washer fluid relocation so I believe I should theoretically be able to run any of the gas versions also.

A little back story..
Back in June of 2024 I installed a set of Motobilt inner fender liners amongst other things (Motobilt windshield washer relocation kit for the diesel, Quake front fender chop, Rusty's tire carrier, and Rock Krawler 3.5" lift)to accommodate my new 37" tires. The install went.. ok.. fitment took some persuasion but I can accept that when trying to design an aftermarket product for a vehicle when the variation in the OEM product is unknown. The Motobilt washer fluid relocation was great, fitment was excellent and I would definitely recommend that product if you have a diesel or 392.

Over the next year I had frequent rattling from the driver side liner when at idle, which I tried to eliminate. It would work for a few weeks and it would come back. Finding what part of the liner was rattling was difficult because it would stop if I got out of the driver seat and come back when I got in, so I always needed a second person. I'm guessing this is due to part of the fender being mounted to the frame and part to the body, which move slightly relative to each other. The passenger side ended up being ripped off completely by my 37" tire while out on a trail. The liner actually tore around the mounting locations and the bolts are still in my jeep with some aluminum still around them, so I know it wasn't loose bolts that fell out allowing it to get caught.

So I'd like to find a new set of fender liners and I'm looking for recommendations... Right now I think Nemesis is in the lead for me since it looks like they have great clearance and don't mount to the frame at all.



On a side note, I think it would be really cool to have a direct comparison between liners in the market and see which one provides the most clearance using 3D scan data. I have the ability to acquire the scan data and do some comparison, but I'd need some volunteers with different liners installed on their jeep, so feel free to send me a DM.

I’ve had the same Motobilt front inner fender liners for about 2.5 years. I have no rattle, but I did have one of these brackets break and Motobilt promptly sent me a pair of replacements. I’m guessing just fatigue over time from things flexing off road. I used blue Loctite on everything but ended up using a longer hardware with a nylock nut on the back because the bolt circled in red would back out over time.

I run the AAL inners with zero issues, had it on my jlurd as well too. All due to the dzus quick release fasteners for easy maintenance/removal.

Yea I had that one fall out on me a few times and I put in a lock washer and a nylon nut which didn't help but it never fixed my rattle.

Did you relocate the washer fluid? If so was it the Motobilt kit?

I just installed the inner fenders from Hooke Road. Install was simple on my JLUR diesel. No need to relocate anything.

I have the NextVenture on my 392. One of the reasons I picked them is because they mounted only to the body, not the both the body and frame like Motobilt. I also have the Motobilt windshield fluid reservoir.

They have more clearance than the Artec liners that I had before. They couldn't fit 40s, the NextVenture ones do. I can't compare the clearance between Motobilt and NextVenture, I assume they are similar.

The fitment was good. The only surprise I got was the passenger mount at the top is steel. I didn't expect that when I went to install and had to delay another day to paint it. I was hesitant about the connectors (I don't remember the name of them) but they are awesome. It takes 15 seconds to remove each side. I didn't think they would hold up at highway speeds (think 80+mph with strong crosswinds) but they have been tight.

Is there an aftermarket fender liner that is plain and is not branded to shit.

I bought the motobilt kit but didn't need it
