Ok so my question is about the rear cut and fold. My lower qp's are rusted so can I just cut em off and make shure its sealed good on the inside? I still wanna run my jrc upper quarter armor though cause I ordered them with the taillight buckets.

 

TOTMs are not for asking questions.

 

Here is my trim job. I thought why not go big. lol

 

I LOVE that!

(TJ flares)

although it looks like you did a good job installing them.

 

Not sure what to do here... need your guys opinions. If I trim more, there's stuff behind the body that will be exposed and look ugly, but it looks weird not having the body trimmed to the flare...

If I trim to the flare I'm thinking I could weld sheet metal to cover up the voids behind the body. What do you guys think?

Also gonna trim bumper cap to line up with whatever option I go with.

 

trim it all out till it matches the new armor, the just repaint the inner fenders with some spray on bed coat, will look great.

 

im going to atempt the cut and fold and the rear quarters hopefully this week my quesstion is how do you guys repair the pinch seam when its cut?
does it stay together?
do i just weld it?

Here is what mine looks like all done and cleaned up.

 

Is everyone cutting the front inner seam to?

 

True craftsmanship

 

Here is the trim job I am doing on my MJ

 

heres a few pics of the cut job on my heep....i use the outside of the stock flares as the template, marked them and cut....fronts are simple and pretty much the basic cut everyone does, rears were cut back into the wheelwell 3 inches and filled with a 4inch by about 4.5ft piece of 16 gauge sheet metal, tacked to the quarter until completely tacked solid all the way around, inside is stitch welded, i am going to comp cut the rears and the front under the marker lights when i get some new bumpers, sorry i dont have any pics of it welded before paint and body work but ill post what i got, enjoy...
before....right after lift was installed

cut





body work


primer

rhino line the inner wheel wells, if you look close you can see the weld seem where the added sheet metal and wheel well meet

ready for paint


and a few right after it was finished
