Prep for fender trimming
Well I just picked this XJ up a couple of days ago, it came all stock. I had some 31's just laying around, so I said why not give it a go, so I decided to trim up my fenders today. I plan on putting the stock fenders back on, but I have not decided how I'm going to do that. To cut them I'm going to use a jigsaw with a thin blade. Is there anything else I should do to prep? Also anybody have a opinion on how to put the stock flares back on?

Just redid my flares last week. Depending on how much you trim, you may have to make new holes. I had to. I used all existing hardware, and for back, I had to take off my trim panels and screw the nuts on from the back. Came out good! But I have no pics.

Here ya go! Front's are easier to do than rears.

YA I just finished the fronts and working on the rear right now, harder than I thought to trim, I still need to mount the flares and make new holes. I wish i did it like he did and drilled the hole before hand, but I'm going to do that to back before cutting. Well I'm going back to mission at hand.
