This is what I have so far. I'm stock right now but plan on doing a build so cheap/free mods that will need done eventually are getting done. I also removed the rear number and cut out rot and painted it. Progress so far. Feel free to chime in because this is my first 4wd build. Thanks y'all.

Pics from after I washed it when I got here.

Looks good, you planning on running larger tires @ stock height or lifting? Lots of cheap mods for our XJ's... plans?

I feel a little embarrassed asking this, but I've never done cut and folding before. Is it just a pair of shears to cut the short lengths and a pair of pliers/hammer to fold it over? Is there anything else to do? I feel like it can't be that simple.

Sorry guys but I haven't been on here much lately. I plan on doing ~4" lift on 35s. It looks better than I expected because I just dove right into it. Lol. The front I just cut the outline of the stock flares. Rear I cut the lip off and used a grinder to do the slits and a hammer to fold it over.

Here is a pic of the inside of the rear well. The front doesn't need folded because it's just a single piece.


I'm going to be building bumpers soon. I just cut the rotted ends off for now. Lol

You should definitely turn this into a build thread!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I'll post a build thread on break in an hour or so. Maybe sooner if these robots keep going down. Lol. The only problem with doing a build thread is that I'm still not 100% on the lift/tires I'm going to be doing. I change my mind every day. That's why I'm doing all of this other stuff that will get done no matter which way I go with it. Progress will be very slow because I work 6 days a week and play sports on my one day off.
