Thanks man! I still have a lot to do. I guess it never really ends lol. That's why they say "it's a Jeep thing."

Picked up some door edge trimming today at Autozone. Getting ready for trimming the fenders. Also on my way to Home Depot to pick up some Grill-O-Sheets to make some hood vents to cool off my engine during the summer.

First I trimmed the lower front near the front bumper.

Then I trimmed the fronts, leaving the lip. I will bump stop or trim more if I have to. I like the way it looks with the lip, and I didn't want to trim more than I had to.

Default Edge trim on trimmed front fenders

I put some edge trim on the front fenders after I trimmed to give it a finished look. I really like how it turned out.

Default Pool noodles in front wheel wells

Then I put some pool noodles in the front wheel wells to keep the dirt out of the door jams.

Now I finally had room to fit the new tires. My rims came on Thursday so I had the tires mounted and balanced while I trimmed. I had to wait until this morning to put them on. It was getting dark. So I threw them on before I had to go to work.

Anyways, here us the before and after pics. I went from 235s to 33s.

Next up, install the steering stabilizer and sway bar disconnect holder brackets that came with my lift kit, extended brake lines, my CB radio system, and my tow hitch. Then I will have everything installed that I have at the moment.
