Thanks a lot. I thought you just did it with your fenders, so I didn't page back. I'll look around a bit more for info, and one day I'll get around to mine.

Its actually really simple. I did the drivers side in about 45 min with a $20 four inch angle grinder from Harbor Freight and a simple pair of pliers so I didn't cut myself.

Project Cheep Cherokee, sir. That's the goal. Something ANYONE can do.

Nothing special or hard to do.

i also like that we work the same way. wrench in one hand, beer in the other. HAHA.

my other question is the cut n fold of the rear fender. more pics of that. i have some rust i need to trim out there and i like the clean look you got from yours.

Well its hard to do since mine is already done. But I am very serious, it took just under an hour. Would have been less if I had a sawz-all.

Got my Cherokee forum stickers today. Had a good time putting them on. They were really easy, and none gave me trouble.

I will get better pics in tomorrows daylight.

For my 9000th post I thoughts would share what my brother got me after he graduated boot camp.

He is now a Marine badass.

Very nice. I'm in the Army, myself, and I appreciate the sentiments of things like this.
