    So I recently trimmed my fenders and decided to rip my wheel well liners out. I'm supposed to go off-roading with a couple friends two weeks from now, before I do that I wanna make sure there isn't anything I am missing. I sprayed the exposed metal with a rubberized undercoat to help prevent rusting. Is there anything else I should seal or anything like that before I go off-roading again?

    Front and/or Rear? They are there for a reason, caked mud isn’t friendly to a lot of things.

    What is this rubber stuff you sprayed?

    I'm not sure why you'd remove them unless you are running 35s

    First thing that comes to my mind is the fog lights. After posting the rear should be fine. I’m trying to remeber from my bumper install but anything in the front of the vehicle, specifically the radiator and fan, may be compromised in certain situations. Haven’t seen your set up but modify rather than remove may be your best choice, just my opinion.

    If you have gone so far as cutting fenders, some self tappers and some fender washers to spread the splash shield may be a good idea.

    The problem is I was an idiot and didn't leave any tabs when I trimmed. So there is nothing to secure the liners on. Any ideas on how one would put them back on?
