Caught the Bug
As soon as we get our Jeep coated, we're going to run a bead of RTV to seal off all of these pesky areas.
Coated with what?

It's not just a Jeep, it's an amusement park on wheels.
Can I ask what you’re getting it coated with? And what is RTV?

That will look horrible.
Beyond Horrible... you're not caulking in a Kitchen Sink.... see post #30.

Probably coating it with Mop & Glo before caulking his fenders
So we’ve said caulking will look bad, but it also sounds like we need something. Think the stuff in post 30 is our best bet? Anyone have a chance to try it yet?
I’ve got some time... but definitely interested in this (would love to have a plan to take care of it right when I take delivery so I don’t have any rocks that get completely stuck).
The welt on post #30 or something like it is what I plan on doing. I just need to find some time to pull my fenders off and clear the deeper rocks out first.
[emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360] awesome. Excited to see how this goes, if you’re up for sharing the results.
I understand you’ve got to pull your fenders to clear the rocks you have... do you think you’ll place the liner/whatever before you put the fenders back on, or wedge it in after they’re back on?
From what I'm seeing, I think the welt needs to be wedged in.
Might look terrible, might not. Plan on trying the clear so it's not visible.
We're looking at a nano ceramic type coating. We did it for our Mustang and it worked very well at shedding water and keeping bugs and road grime from sticking.

I should note that I just got back from a week long trip and in the mix, we got into some desert mud which had the consistency of wet concrete complete with gravel aggregate. After cleaning the mud, I found the gap between the fenders and body filled with this gravel, some about the size of marbles and they were pretty difficult to remove. Hell, nothing short of removing the fenders will get a few of them out.
