The RHS has NONE! And consequently is rusting away.

I can see no evidence of a RH plastic liner!

Did OE only put plastic on ONE SIDE????

This is nuts!

let me make sure i'm understanding your abbrv.

on both my '00 and '02 cargos there is only a plastic splash shield inside the fender to protect the fuel fill hose.

and becareful, while i do have rust on my '00's passenger rear panel, i also see bubbles appearing from underneath the paint on the '02's driver's side (where the plastic shield is).

OK, shielding the fuel filler hose pretty much explains it for me.

However, I have nearly no rust on the LHS and the RHS has very significant rust through where the wheel well seam is - about dead center in the transverse (along axle axis) direction.

Ohwell, while I'm waiting for my fuel pump and its on jackstands, its a perfect time to fix.

Still, they should have put plastic on both sides.

Thanks
Tom
