I don't normally say this, but search next time there are a ton of threads about this.

here's a good one
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/to...mp-cuts-94767/

I did mine using a die grinder and rubber mallet. cut the fenders so they look like teeth
then fold them over a bit and hammer them a bit to get them nice and tucked
rears have a pinch seem. do not cut past it. the front has no seem cut away

here is the rear cut up to the pinch seem
