JK with no inner fenders

I had my JK since new (2016). I've done moderate upgrades. I'm wondering if anyone has completely removed their inner fenders. They seem to always be in the way. Does anyone have any pics?

Thanks,
Armando

You could remove the rear inners if you had a black Jeep as the base back is black for example, in the front you want something in there otherwise youll have a lot of crud and crap inside your engine bay.There might be a couple of electrical connections in there you may want to protect.

Have you removed your factory fenders already ? I think i know what you mean in the front or rear been those the inners are hooked to the factory fenders and they're pain to remove.
With Aftermarket fenders you can keep your inners if you cut them and they're super easy to remove when needed.

Front or rear are now super easy to remove for me, you can see fronts are held at the top by 3 points and factory hardware and couple of tie wraps.

in the back i'm using 3 factory push pins and more tie wraps.

I put the Fishbone Offroad inners on mine. Eventually figured out that the gap it leaves between the outer quarter panel and the body was allowing junk to accumulate inside. Here you can see the day I took that quarter panel off:

I'd guess that there was a couple of pounds of dirt inside. I've since added some Steinjager covers to block that gap. They're not perfect, but better than it was:
