i personally dont like trimmed fenders on clean xjs.

I did my old xj but it was my wheeler. IMO 97+ xj's with uncut fenders look way better.

Good for you! I only had to do very minor trimming for city driving. But a bit more for room for flexing.

I would leave it alone... If you are going to trim go 35's whats the point of going up from a 32 to a 33 just wait unit you can afford gears 35s and then trim it... why waste the money... Only do it once and do it right... Since it is your DD
