Rocker looks good. And at least you were on a dirt road when that happened. I had that happen to a nova in high school but on the road and it was a front wheel

Ohh but wait there's more... All I can say is triple check you're lugs, because some people find it fun to mess with them...

How hard was it to trim everything and how much did you end up cutting out? I have a 3.5" lift and found a killer deal on 35s and wondering how hard it's gonna be to make functional. Could you post detailed pictures of what you cut?

Cutting is easy, took 4" out of the front well, probably a lil too much. And then for the rear I used the cut and fold technique and took out maybe 2".



Before cutting





Just with 4" cut out of the front wells





Rear wells and front wells cut. Ended up rubbing really bad on the back (no sway bars) so I added a 1" block for the time being until I get my lift





Fully stuffed in the rear, so flex in the back isn't too good, but up in the fronts not bad for a 2" lift

So ive been toying around with the next big idea for the heep after the lift, and i think ive got it! Soft top with a roll bar/truggy like rear end and a steel rear bumper with a swing gate. And of course bracing the existing unibody for added strength
