Must have happened while I was flexing at the trails last night.

 

Well after you get the finder fixed there is only like 3 ways to fix it where it will not happen again. A) Get/make custom bump stops, B) cut finder flairs (TJ flares (4 rear ones), Bushwhacker, or just cut n' fold), or C) just get smaller tires... though at 6.5" that wouldn't be safe.

 

or D) Chop it up and tube buggy it......

 

My Jeeps the same way. Push it out and put a piece of metal in their aas a support. Its ffrom your tire stuffing in ur ffender.

 

Man that's too clean to chop. My dented up Cherokee should be made into a buggy. Lol

Good luck with the dent man, those fenders shoulda come off yesterday.

 

I pulled on the sheet metal and the dent came right out. The bolts holding the flare on actually ripped the rubber-ish mud guards so deep that I can't get a wrench in there. I have to re-position the flare now since the metal mount got a little bit bent. It should only take about an hour tomorrow and the Jeep will look good as new.

 

What's ironic is my buddy's red Jeep has the cut and fold all the way around and he had the exact same bend right there as I did. So I'm almost confident now that it's because of the flexing.

 

It is. LOL. Happened to me all the time until I trimmed.

 

In your build thread it looks like you have the same tires as me, just smaller. Duratrac ftw

 

I couldn't ever do that man. Lol.

 

Yup. I'm bout to sell them and get some 33" destination mts

 

My friend I was just talking about that bent the fender like I did has 33" destination mts:



They've been wearing down really quickly for him; don't know if I'd recommend them.

 

I'm getting a deal on.them used

 

Before/After Fixed my fender dent today:



Still just a little bit of crumpling, but it's all under the plastic flare so you can't actually see it without the fender flare being off, so I left it alone to spare myself the extra work:



Good as new!

 

Rustys tow hook set came in the mail today. Must admit that it looks even better than the picture on Rustys site. They're painted and come with tow hook keepers and everything. Well... let's get these suckers on!
