I've just picked away my stock fender flares since my jeep will be repainted and rustrepaired but i'm wondering if these panels will need replacing or if i can just cut away the rusted area or if it has spread to far. And by cutting away I mean to fit the new flares, buschwackers etc












Thanks!

 

Oh man, those aren't bad at all.if I were you, I'd take a wire wheel to it, get it all nice and clean, and then hit it with some rust preventive spray paint or bedliner.

 

Whew, I'm so glad I don't have to deal with rust.

To me, that's enough rust to sell the Jeep and buy a different one.

 

Yep, most of it is just surface rust! But on one fender has rusted through and is in "bad" shape...but since slapping on a pair of new fender flares usually involve cutting it...i though i might avoid replacing the panel!

Haha, well, it's not that bad to be honest And living in sweden where we have like 6 months of snow and a lot of salt on the roads...you get used to it!
