I think it'd look great, As long as mark your lines well And use a good cutting tool, And to not rush through it lol. Also you can put that body mold on it and looks a lot better. But have you thought about saving up for some bushwacker fender flats?

Well my front tires have been rubbing really bad since I put the new rims on... So flares need to go. I'm thinking bushwhacked flats... But the price is way to much so I'm thinking about trimming them. Can't make up my mind!

I love my flat flairs. But if you trim and decide to go flatties later make sure you don't cut too much

Well heres another muddin story, cause I know I've been lacking in them lately....

Well last Friday we were out of school, And it rained all Thursday.... so of course, all my buddies went to my friends house to do some mudding Thursday night at tbe same Mudpit where the white avalanche got suck earlier in my thread. well I couldn't go, neither could m friend and his cj.. So we just crashed at my house and called it a night early while they were out there around 11 or so having a bonfire and mudding. Well we wake up with about 50 missed calls saying my friend got his expo on 35s stuck because his 4wd wouldn't engage so it had sat there over night and they all went home. So me and my friend with his cj got ready and headed out to pick everyone up then head to the Mudpit to try to winch him out. but as we were pullin up... My buddy's dad(owner of land) pulls out on tbe road in front of us in his bigass skidloader on like 50"s and yelled out "I got em" so we just pulled in the mud pit behind him and just watched him get that thing back
There and pulling the expo right out. But glad he got him, because My friends cjs 4wd wouldn't engage, So he bout got stuck in the entrance and couldnt evenmake it back there. I went back there after they got It out to look at the huge ruts, and I went right through the the ruts no problem, and went right through where he was stuck (: i Got the jeep washed off and home safe and sound with no breakage to!

Haha man I just typed a damn book... But I have another story I'll type out tommorow hahaha
