is it legal?
Is it legal to cut off the rear quarter panels? Mine are all rusty. And is it legal to trim fenders so I can fit bigger tires if I put fender flares on it after?

In general as long as the tires are covered by fender flares it should be legal in most places. Some states/provinces have safety inspections, and if your ride is a hacked up piece of **** you can get in trouble.

Reminds me of a Kid Rock song…"Where I come from mud flaps come stock…"
Where I come from there isn't a law pertaining to mud flaps on SRW vehicles. Can't remember if there is one for DRW but that wouldn't mean anything if we're talking about XJ's.

I dont see how trimmed fenders could be illegal anywhere. I dont even have to have flares down here. But, you should check around locally, laws are different everywhere.

Where i am from they give "fix it" tickets like candy if your tires poke outside of your flares. So adequate flares are a must here:-/

My 33s stick way out and my body is cut up. I asked the sheriffs deputy that lives in my neighborhood, he told me an xj is a wagon not a truck and in ill wagons dont have lift laws or tire coverage laws. A rock to someones windshield could cause you some problems.

If you lived here in KY no one cares. I have seen trucks with the frame bent driving around looking like it's going to fold in half.
