You may have noticed that some owners simply remove the fender flares from their Jeeps and drive them like that. While this is possible from a mechanical point of view, there are several downsides to this setup. For a start, it is not legal to drive on public roads without fender flares, so you may end up with a hefty fine. And even if there are no legal limitations, exposed tires could easily kick up rocks and other debris. While flying around, these may damage your Jeeps' bodywork or injure nearby pedestrians.
