When I find more time im going to cut away a little more of the fender and then rap the bumper tube around it. Then, weld in a small fender flare and attach it to the new fender tubing.

Looks good, did you have to contour the plate at all?

About 5/8". I tacked one side down to the table with a piece of 1 1/2 under it. Then beat on the opposite side. Its 3/16 and still didnt take much to bend it.

I have been thinking about doing the same thing. Do you add any undercoating or sealer between the factory side panel and the plate? All I can think about is road salt getting in between there and rusting.

I'm not knocking your sweet design.

Looks good....I am assuming that the gas filler on a Grand is on the passenger side and not the driver like on the XJ right???

Looks good.. i was planning a set just like them on my new ZJ build. Relocated fuel tank up and filler inside?

Heres the set i made for my XJ, used aluminum though to cut weight. These are now on Jake's rig in WI.

Im temporarily running the filler to a sealed ammo can on the inside. Once I stretch it ill be junking the gas tank for a cell that will be partially pushed up vertically into the floor right behind the axle.
