When you install an aftermarket bumper like the HLC do you retain the lower plastic fender liners?

When y'all install 33" tires do you guys just remove these lower plastic liner pieces?

 

You don't or shouldn't remove the liners or a lot of rust will be in your future.
Remember if you get to playing in the mud, both your diffs only have 2 spider gears and won't hold up to too much abuse, ought to be looking towards some lockers to fix that problem.

By the way, have you rebuilt or replaced your front drive shaft yet so it won't fail and take your tranny with it?

 

Mike - I am running Tom Woods prop shafts front and rear. I ordered Tru-Trac for front and rear diffs.

I guess I will just trim the lower plastic fender liners where the tires rub/hit slightly.

 

Damn your Discovery is going to be a badass truck.

 

Is the drive shaft also an issue for 03-04?
AB a new replacement but ends at 02

 

Yes they are. If yours has not been replaced, do it soon.

 

Just, just trim he little edge of that rubs and call it good.

 

Thanks. I wanted it dependable for use in the desert for a couple week photo trips. Been trying to build it up tight the first time.

I ordered the winch and 6 PIAA 520 ATP lights so those shoud be here this week, truck shoud be ready soon.
