So this weekend i was thinking about cutting off my fenders i was wondering how long this takes and it there is glue and other things under the fenders when i take them off?

I have a 2001 Cherokee, and there were just a series of screws holding the fender flare on. Unscrewed those, and it came right off, the flare that is anyway. That gave me a little more clearance, but I had to do some cutting into the body in order to run 33's, and I did it with a cutting wheel, then smoothed the edges with a sanding wheel placed in a drill. Added a little primer, then some paint, and so far no rust in over a year.

When i took my flares off i ended up breaking just about every bolt holding them on . . made it realy easy to get them off but if your planning on remounting them after you trim i would soak them in pb blaster for a good week before

This is a good write up: http://www.rocklizardfabrications.co...r_trimming.htm

Wow, onew1ckedxj, that is a great write-up!

Well acually i think i forgot to explain myself i was meaning i am going to take the fenders off but when they come off isnt their screw holes that you have to deal with so then people cut the acual fender?

Are you just taking the flares off? or are you planning on trimming them? the flares are attached to 2 brackets that are bolted to the fender itself . . when you take them off itll leave a series of holes where they were mounted if that is what your talking about

yes i am planning on taking them completely off and then cutting the fender where the holes are and thanks for the link it will be great help

how do i take just the fender off my 1990 jeep cherokee

I took mine off, cut the fender out, on the rear I went way past the pinch seam and just tack welded it closed...
