Default cutting front / rear fenders

so we all been here contemplating if we want to cut the fenders, or would i like it after i cut it hmmmm lol. well i finally choose to cut mine and i most deff like the outcome .
well from 1st to last as u can see start n finish . didnt do anything special as u can see as i looked at other threads i just did the same simple work. cut each lil section 1 at a time with my angle saw . then carefully cut as straight of a line i could until each fender was complete .

I'm going to be doing the same but I've picked up bumper end caps from a pre 97 cherokee that don't connect with the stock flairs. You need to trim the rear caps a bit to clear the door but in my opinion these caps look way better without the flairs.
