Yeah, I'm a novice jeeper/wrencher and I've trimmed my buddies jeeps fenders, and I'm about to do mine once the weather picks up. All you do is pretty much cut the fender about every one inch (however deep or high you want to cut them and fold them) and then fold the cut tabs or pieces over inwards. Be careful though, when you do that you'll ruin the coating on the paint when you cut them, so you have to buy something to reseal the paint so it doesn't start chipping or rusting underneath. Also, if you flex or rub at all, be careful of those folded under tabs you cut. Can be sharp. I put a double layered strip of aluminum sheet metal across the tabs and put that into place so it was smooth and not sharp jagged pieces. Sorry for the length!
