wasnt sure were to post this because its a fab. and and an issue doing it. my rear quarter panel is rusting as well as maney other may have the same issue. now i was goin to cut them off to the lower body line so i can build a wrap around bumper this summer. now my question??? i had my jeep on the lift today installing my tow hitcha and saw that the gas line runs thru that driver rear panel were i want to cut. anyone having problems relocating or is it not in the way? thanks in advanced!!!!!

how far up you planning on cutting it? mine is cut right at the top of the bumper and there was no issue... i can take a pic of where it was cut if you want

TerBeau

yea same as were you said you cut yours. pics would be great especially would like to see how you capped it off! on the bottom thanks

check out like the fifth page of my build thread it handles all your questions, its pretty simple to do, and the gas tank lines arent in the way at all!

soo you cut the back and folded it over and did you weld it shut? or just pushed over?

jonjon99xj

if you take your time and cut it just right you down have to weld anything but i go a little fast and cut a lil too much so i had gaps so i just welded them shut but the drivers side is mainly screw holding it in took less than 2 hrs for both sides

its just thin sheet under the cut to fill in.. also spray foam is your friend lol

i did the cut and tuck on my rear lower quarters

jonjon99xj

why didnt u fold it all the way up? it looks retarded at a slant. just wondering

gpXJ

Really? Maybe he likes it that way. I kinda like it at a slant. Just because you didn't do it that way doesn't make it retarded....heh

i actually bent it down a little to show how the cut and tuck was done...all i have to do is push it back into place...but it does have a little bit of a slant...either way i think it looks good either way...(edited)

slant or no slant i thing he needs a new tire

that i do...i'm holding off till i get my front 60 and 4 link the rear, 8" of lift and a new set of 40s

easy easy this is a friendly forum, not pirate, it was just a question no harm intended by it, so u dont have it screwed in?

RockStarATL

i am sorry then...just seemed like there could have been better wording on your part...no it is not screwed in as it will be tacked in once i do my rear bumper...it stays just fine folding it is...the bottom(when tucked inner) actually wedges against the jeep
