I would never not want fenders on a trailer; no sense kicking up rocks and debris on whatever you are towing not to mention the mess it makes when it rains or if your tire has a blowout.  It's one thing to fling stuff off onto the road and quite another to have a tire damage whatever you are towing on the deck.  My Kaufmann has bolt-on removable fenders; I rarely use the feature but when I built my truck it needed to be <80" wide to slip between the fenders and that was a design constraint.  You can always get wheels with backspacing that pulls the tires inward a little bit, especially on something narrower like an XJ, but 76" will still be really tough.  Hinging is nice and I may change mine to do that at some point.
