Rolled my fenders 1 1/2" and beat the hell out of my pinch seam to fit 33's on a 3.5" lift with no rub


XJ flares on a ZJ. Not spending $500 for something that is going to get ripped off on the trail. Total cost $60. Used 2 front flares and 5 rear flares. Cut everything to follow the ZJ lines as close as possible on the rear. Cut and joined to follow lines on the front. Used a heat gun to shape to ZJ lines.
Still have to sand epoxy and paint



Will be building custom front winch bumper and custom rear bumper w/a storage compartment. Will post pics when done

Its a lot better than the other, it give me better clearance on trails, plus this jeep is lifted 4.5 inches

I cut vertical lines 1 1/2" up, and in between pinch welds. Bend up into wheel well. Used Deadblow to shape, and welded a few of the tabs for more strength.

Mo ved to tech since this is not a fabrication thread. Fabrication is something like building a bumper from scratch. Modifying your rig is not fabricating.
Sorry just educating as I move.
Enjoy!
