Next im going to remove the fender flares and the side trim, I have taken my emblems off and will be painting the red and black.

If anyone is reading this I plan on doing the cut and fold on both my front and rear fenders but the rear has the pinch seam and it seems it may be a bit more difficult.. any ideas?

just dont cut past the pinch seam... or weld the pinch seam back up.

Alright, you got my attention with the thread title, I better check back and see something at least marginally heavy duty going on here!

Ok so today i have done a bit of painting and had taken off the fender flares... I just ordered a wench bumper from BCC, the guys there would definetly fulfill the heavy duty aspect of my jeep. Its made from 1/4" steel with extended mounts. Dudes were really easy to deal with and got it for an awesome price. Ill get around to putting it on when more time allows but for now heres a pic with the flares taken off..
