ehh. id steel drive it around should be aight long as you dont wheel the **** out of it. just take it easy drive it like a grandma till you get that sinched up

 

never seen that before, see something new every day lol

 

luckily its not on the road yet...i wanted to cut a lot off to clear 33 or 35 at full flex on a 2.5 inch lift i like the low cog. i just cut the fronts ill post a pic later... thanx for the advice

 

yup.

go over a bump and your body will bend nicely.

 

Here is what I did.
I made my wheel wells 3 inches longer. Should be able to 38 on next year when I change the axle.

 

No, stresses from simple driving will put undue tension on his body, and could cause some bad damage. It's much safer to wait until you fix the issue.

trimmed the front fenders today i think im gunna try to use the barrel idea for the rear inner wells ill post more pics on this thread still accepting ideas and knowledge thanx guys

 

i trimmed back a little more of the inner wheel well than waht u see in the previous pic.... im thinken just piecing in some metal to form a higher solid wheel well....advice tips?

 

Well you may have just bought yourself a bit more of a project than you were looking for, but the good news is that you haven't screwed yourself. Many people have done what you just did on purpose. I hope you get more advice from those what have done it themselves. My advice though is to stick to your guns. You made that cut because you wanted that look and size wheel well. Go easy on the thin metal with the welder and make your wells the way you want to.

First thing's first, I'd park the jeep next to a power source and gut the rear end. Get an idea of what you're looking for and keep cutting and get yourself some materials to work with. I'm excited to see where this takes you. You haven't screwed up yet. Shoot, you should keep taking photos and make a "how to".

Get to work...I want to see the end result.

love it when someone doesnt know what they are talking about posts the dumbest statement I have heard in a long while. Its going to fold like a taco because of some cuts in the fender well............

 

will the jeep really "fall apart or fold" bc of the inner wheel was cut....i do plan to refab my wells but i just dont see how the wheel well plays such a huge part in the devestation of a vehicle with or without a unibody.

 

LOL I was wondering when someone was gona say something.. I guess all the top chops are now worthless..

to the OP.. drive it.. but get it fixed so you dont shread your tires.. thats the safty concern I see...blowing a tire...And dont worry about the flamers.. chit happens... you learn from mistakes..and its not really a mistake.. its just MORE modified then you wanted.. :}

 

x2

 

no it will not fold like a taco. the guy had no clue what hes talking about so he shouldnt post anything he doesnt know

this guy knows what hes talking about. great advice!

 

Wheeled the wee-wee out of two XJs cut out like that, and not one issue!! Other than rain, mud, dust, debris, and other assorted items finding their way into the Cargo area!! LOL!!

Is it done the right way...no, but it will still work bud!!
