Fabulous photos. I have found plenty of photographs of JK/JL production, but unfortunately none on TJs.
What crazy Chrysler engineer thought it was a good idea to secure fender flares with Lego blocks?

If it's not a blind hole, I prefer not to use nutserts.
As for the factory, I imagine the plastic blocks provide preload on the sheet metal screw threads which probably saves some money over having to use bolts with threadlocker.

Unless you meant you added the nutserts, all the TJ's came with the same mix of nutserts for the blind holes and plastic nuts for the accessible ones. I don't ever use nutserts for flares. Offends me greatly for some reason.
We STILL need a sarcasm emoji.
We just need to sell limited use sarcasm detectors. That way you can sell another one when they wear it out reading my stuff.
I didn't add any. I just don't have any recollection of using plastic blocks when I pulled the flares on my 99, but I vividly remember having to hold several nutserts from the backside with vice grips while I drilled the flanges off of them. Maybe it had already been done before I owned it.
