So, a while back I trimmed my fenders to get that extra clearance with the plan of putting on TJ flares.

Removed the OE flares and prepped it for trimming


Next step was using an angle grinder and an air dremel on the front


Did the simple "Cut and Fold" on the rear with the same tools plus a rubber mallet.


Took a few months, but once the weather got warm again I got the TJ flares on. Rerouted the side marker lights to the flares. The OE side markers will eventually be going and the holes will be filled with fiberglass and painted.


Did a little final trimming and painting and the TJ flares are officially done.

 

it looked better with out the flairs

 

I'm actually on the fence on whether doing the TJ flares or not. i already trimmed some away to clear my 30's. but now with my RC4.5" kit my 33's are in route shipped to my house who knows how much more ill have to trim.

 

Thats a good look!

 

But without them I'll fail state inspection (stupid communist-wealth of Virginia). BW's are to expensive and I don't really care for flat flares so I went with a set of $50 TJ's. It'll take a little getting used to but I like 'em and they work. No offense, but that's really what matters in the end.
