Default Can I do rocker sliders with out removing front fender?

Not being lazy just having a buddy weld it up and it would easier if I could just drop off with the steel rather then have to take to his house and then tear apart grill with several wires through it, and take off fenders. I have found some write ups but all seem to lack the photos that I need. Can I just cut the front fender? thanks want to do this next week.

I'm not sure why you'd have to remove the fenders and grill to put on rock sliders since they'll be mounted to the unit body and maybe pinch weld of the body.

If that's what he meant then there isn't much prefab work to do material wise, it's just a piece of box tube. Still don't see what that'd have to do with the grill.

What ever write up my buddy followed, it said to remove the front fenders. To do so he said he had to remove the grill to get them off. Anyways I am just going to start by cutting out the main part of the rockers as mine are swiss cheese currently and see what all it looks like. Thanks
