This.

I'm just saying there's no reason to go spend 6 grand on a ridiculously well preserved XJ and start hacking it apart. There's plenty of beaters out there just begging to have the rust in the fender wells cut out of them.

If you need the clearance, Fine. If you want to be able to say your Jeep has 32's, go ask your folks to buy you an FJ and sell me the clean XJ. I've been wanting to retire the ol' 97 into a weekend Jeep (I'm still not cutting the fenders, I don't need any bigger tires than 3 inches and a capable set of 31s for anything I do lol) for a while now.

Any "ricer" crap. (Cold air, throttle spacer, turbo, etc)
Expensive crap you can build yourself.
Like Bushwackers, Safari suck tube, or ARB bull bumpers. $900?... good God!
Stuff I'll excuse myself for:
I have to use mud flaps cause I live in Kalifornia.
(At least they are detachable)
I only put stickers of mods/things I own on my rear most drivers side
window (cause its the blind spot lol)
Yes I run some RC stuff.....deal with it!

You're right, I should have left my fenders untrimmed for my 31s, tearing chunks off my front tires while turning at 3mph in a flat parking lot is way cooler than being able to flex.

This thread has done what every "mod you hate" thread has done in the past. Turned into a flame fest.
