Inner fender delete

Put my left front into my inner fender on the trails yesterday. Rubs pretty bad when I turn hard left now. Wondering if there is any downside to just cutting the inner fender out instead of getting it back to the stock location Just to have this happen again. And if I cut them, how much can I take? What's behind them?

 

Any pics of what you are describing?

 

I knew people who would remove their inner fenders on their jeeps and then have overheating issues. I guess the airflow through the engine bay was effected enough that air wasnt flowing the way the engineers designed it to. No idea if these truck are that sensitive, but it has always left me worried about removing them. Maybe someone sells high clearance aluminum replacements? That might be a better option
