Heres my fender trim. Best pics I have atm. I used the cut and fold method also. I would advise you go slow, the front fender may shake around a bit. Round the edges off of the front, or someone will lose a finger. Cut less than you think on the back, or you wont have anything to "fold" and it WILL separate. I found it actually better if you cut lower on the rear and use hammer,etc. to beat the edges around, it makes a smoother look.

 

Heres mine,I think I could trim the front a lil more and get 35s on there now.

 

Lookin good guys keep them coming!

I also wanted to add that on mine I beat that dent out of the LR wheel well ment to accommodate the factory spare tire. It was limiting how far I could stuff the LR tire... I wouldn't recommend it unless you are running 33"s or bigger, cause a 32" spare will still fit in the the factory interior mount.

 

Rear i only trimmed the lip off, front as u can see i trimmed alot and those are pro comp rims 15x8 4" bs with 31 duratracs, tht hill is alot steeper then it looks and there two huge tracks from a cement truck no rubbing at all , most likely goin to roll the back soon

 

i started on my clearence cutting today, only got to the front fenders though.

here's what i started with, and i traced out how i wanted to cut it with chaulk.


i was hitting on the back of the fender while turning with the 35's


and was hitting the front of the fender under compression with the 32's



i cut it with a small air saw, and here's how it came out




i will hopefully get to the back fenders later this week

 

jeep is lookin good man

 

thanks!

im liking your rear fender cut, i may have to borrow that idea

 

Are you guys taping them off before you cut (i did & it worked great)? It will help from chipping the paint during the cut, & give you something to mark your line on!

In the back folds, has anyone found a way to prevent the paint from chipping off?

 

i did it the first time i trimmed the fenders. but the bedliner on the side is thick enough that it didnt chip..

as for the cut n fold in the back....nope, lol

 

Rears were smooth, and the fronts were trimmed like no tomorrow!!!

 

here is mine overall.
Front fenders are cut by hand with snips. rear is cut above pinch seam, then folded under inner fender, and rear lower quarter is cut.

 

Here is mine. Did the cut an fold along the rear an originally I cut to the bolt holes on the front. Once I went to swampers I had to trim a couple more inches off. For have any pics of the 2nd cut cuz it was done in camp at an offroad park lol. All done with a cut off wheel an buffing wheel. Not bad for a first attempt. Still have to deal with the spine on the inner front fender an cut an fold the rear quarter.

 

This is GREAT, keep the info coming guys!

 

I am getting ready to cut mine. I'm also wanting to get into some fabrication can anyone suggest a decent welding set up?

This site had some good pics

 

just a basic cut for the front and C&F for the rear . i taped them off how i wanted them then went to town with the 4.5'' grinder
