Just wondering. I personally wouldn't remove them to prevent slinging mud and grime everywhere but okay.
I personally like the look and it keeps the undercarriage much cleaner! besides that more stuff just filling your garage anytime you change something. I plan on always keeping them on!

If you go to 35's they rub, depending on your lift and the actual tire brand of course. Mine found the garbage can. You can trim off the bottoms but that's too much hassle for a piece of plastic trim IMO.

On one hand those gap covers prevent the tires from slinging everything over the top bumper ends (that's a plus). But on the other hand they just don't look like they belong there to me. With all due respect to those who like them, it looks like a "this gap shouldn't be here ... let's fill it with this" sort of piece. Almost an afterthought. That 'bandaid' look just doesn't work for me.
Yeah, I hated the whole plastic bumper at first, especially those parts. Now, after a couple months, it just looks like my Jeep to me. And I love how my Jeep looks.
Easy to please, I reckon. Or lazy and cheap. Prolly all 3.

Awesome! That's my little trail doggy Jack, love that little guy. He's 12 and starting to slow down but man he loves exploring with me out in the desert.
Great, my dog is Roscoe and I adopted him from the pound when he was just about 6 to 9 months old. Supposed to be a Manchester Terrier but I think a mix due to a spot of white on his chest. He loves climbing hills with me and moves much faster than I.

Removing them also makes it a lot easier to remove your sway bar disconnects without getting under the Jeep. If you're into that sort of thing.
