so we haven't started on the new bumper yet, I have one more question. How would i cut the plastic in the wheel wells in order to make it look good on the Jeep with a new bumper. The Bumper will just be a basic C channel bumper. It would be great to get a lot of feed, thanks!

 

I cut mine with heavy duty scissors.

 

how do you know how high or how much to cut off?

 

After you make the bumper, trim the plastic so it looks good. Thats about all there is to it

 

Put the bumper on and then mark the wheel well plastic with a white pencil for where you'll be cutting. Use either a utility knife or some tough scissors.

 

please post pictures if you cut your finger off....

 

We could put it up for a darwin award.

 

I am a siding contractor for a living we use klenks for just about every thing we cut check them out you can but them at a siding supplier sometimes at parr lumber

Great tool for a jeeper

 

haha okay thanks, I am trying to post pictures of the jeep as we are restoring it but I'm having issues, I will get all the photos posted and if i do cut my finger off I will post pics haha

 

You could have just maned up and took all the plastic out

 

This^^^ plastic is for hondas

 

that plastic liner is always the first thing to go when i build a jeep. it just gets in the way and there are no ill effects from removing it.

(i guess you could argue that the door hinge area is more prone to rust and road salt, but in several years of owning xjs in new england winters and all my friends, and everyone on the forums, i have never seen this as an issue)

 

I didn't cut my fingers and search and destroy, you still got plastic on your jeep haha. I am gonna rip some off today

 

I actually dont not the fender liners

 

Use a cut off wheel and then use a utility knife to clean it up.
