When modding their vehicles, most off-road enthusiasts tend to focus on the big stuff. Things like sliders, winches and bumpers. All necessary items, but to build the perfect off-roader, you shouldn’t skimp on the smaller items either. That’s what makes the difference between a good 4×4 and a great one.
Inner fenders, floor liners and hitch steps are just some of the off-roading essentials you might overlook. In this blog, we cover these items and more, to ensure that your off-roader is ready for anything. Let’s take a look at these essentials:
- Inner Fenders
- Floor Liners
- Tool Storage
- Hitch Steps
- Cargo Management
Inner fenders
Inner fenders protect your vehicle from rocks and debris. There’s nothing worse than damaging your expensive shock absorbers or bodywork while on a challenging trail.
Westin offers both front and rear inner fenders for your JK Wrangler. They are simply bolt-on when using our front and rear tube fenders and need only minor trimming for OE front fenders. Our front inner fenders have mesh covered openings to provide engine compartment ventilation.

- Protection from rocks and debris
- Designed to fit with Westin’s Front and Rear Tube Fenders

Floor Liners
A sturdy floor liner will help keep your vehicle’s interior clean. Muck and grime can easily damage your carpets, our floor liners are designed to offer heavy duty protection. They stand up to extremely tough conditions and are easy to clean.
