So tonight I was looking for how I was going to mount my KC rock lights in the wheel well. No big deal.

But on the driver side there’s a cut hole in the fender liner I can’t make sense of. It’s clearly an indentation for the upper control arm to travel in to, but why the hole? And why not the same hole on the passenger side? Any ideas?

I just checked mine - no hole on either side. Both sides are identical... Strange

Can any US based RR owner take a peek in their driver wheel well? Tell me if yours has an "inspection" hole?

usually holes like that are for access to something. What is directly above the hole?

The fuse block - something I'd like to keep dry...

I went to the dealer and the regular Rangers don't have this 'feature'
