Well i have the stupid wahser bottle on the driver side behind the fender. So i need to do somthing with that. I was thinking about just removing it and putting in one of the earlier bottles later but i am about to go on a road trip so i wasent sure if i wanted to keep it till after i get back or not. But yes, I am going to trim probably another inch or so.
What did you do about the pinch seam at the bottom? Theres 2 bolts, did you just cut away the first 1?

My front axle sits forward about an inch alsoto keep the tire out of the back of the fender. But even when it wasnt, that was enough to clear.
If you can find an early, or camanchee bottle they work great. I have a freightliner bottle I have to mount somewhere with its own pump. Just havent got to it yet. I need to before the snow though.

Well today i had some free time on my hands(which doesent happen very often) so i fixed my mirror problem(temporarly) and proceeded to try to construct stuff that i could drive over!
Just a word of advice, round logs dont like to stay in place... Who knew!? 




And ct67 72, I changed my mind about the bumpstops. Im going to do somthing like those DPG plates. It seams like the better option.

So i took ct67 72's advise and trimmed up the fenders some more. I only did the front though. I dont think i can get too much more out of the back and i like how they look so im just going to leave them.

Before cleaning them up.


The door edge trim makes a world of difference.

Now to get rid of that stupid wiper bottle!

Okay so after i trimmed my fenders some more i flexed it out some and found that im rubbing is these two places. Is it okay for me to either cut or pound the lip on the inner fender flat and pound the metal in the second pic in? They rub when it is flexed and the wheel is turned.

I believe I've seen the metal in the first picture cut and folded on a few other cherokees, similar to how you cut the actual fender, don't quote me on that one though. As far as picture 2 I'm not entirely sure. Love the jeep dude, I've got a 97 too. How were your leafs before you put the add a leaf in? I can't decide on a full leaf pack or add a leaf.
