Any ideas on how to put some fender flares on here? The owner before me cut them out to add 33s and I'm getting leaks and it looks bad. I don't have a welder ether. Any ideas??

If you aren't able to do the new fender deal, look into the "lawn edging flares" I had a similar problem, actually used the lawn edging to repair the inner fender on the rears cause they were carved too. Another alternative is the Wrangler fender flare upgrade, they can be made to fit just about anywhere and add extra coverage.

Edging till you can get something else, $11 bucks for like 20 ft or so. You might even like em if you take your time and try and do it cleanly

I think those flares need a build thread...I have purchase materials to make tube flares but those look so good I may ditch that method.
