When you cleaned your throttle body, did you put on a new gasket?

I guess mine didn't have a gasket either. Huh, the Chilton manual said something about replacing a gasket. Ah well.

Front fenders finally trimmed 8)



Black line was original plan, yellow new plan.




Figured wile I was at it mine as well trim that little bit under the flair bracket for extra room on the trail when flairs are off.












Scrap


Still want to trim more but this will do for now. Trimming the back tomorrow.

Someone hide my grinder. I was lookin today and im moving my washer bottle. Then using the top edge of the stock flair mount as a guide and cutting all that **** out front and back. :twisted: Then remounting the stock flares with two bolts each and wing nuts for easy trail removal.

4 ****ing cuts and i gain soooooo much room. I love my grinder

Grinders are really like tattoos, one cut and u just want more!! :yarr:

Love the build man, Can't wait till this snow melts and the creeks open up so I can go find some places to go fishing.

I know mine's older and a bit different, But I just took the flares off the front and used the dust line from them to cut the fenders. Make sure you hammer the pinch weld down on the inside of the fender, they like to cut into the tires.

I wish my jeep wasnt red, 'cause blue is better. haha. I had that as a sticker in my younger days.

First impression, im happy with them. Haven't done a lot of driving but so far it seems to be stopping better. Time will tell if it was worth the money.
