fender trimming

Tomarrow my xj is going under the knife!!!!! I just removed the fenders tonight, after I talked to a guy that has an awsome xj, now i need to get rid of the bolt holes. Is there any thing that I need to know? what should i watch out for?

thanks for the help,

Ben

in the rear, notch and fold, do not just hack it all off.

p.s. are you cheap xj, as in cheapxj.com if so when is your web site going to be back up?

Bushwhackers or Tj flares? IMHO Tj flares give you more room. I have ran both. Good luck 4X4XFAR

No offense to you, but weren't you the guy who just posted wanting to know how to install a tcase drop? IMHO, I would hold off on taking a sawzall to your rig for a bit. Then again, what do I know?

:cheers: Just trimmed my son's fenders using the cut and bend method in the website. Only,we cut about an 1/8" away from the fender bend line so when it folded under the cut line would not show as bad. Lost some paint due to folding, but will touch that up with undercoating type paint. Took about an hour. Looks great-really opened up the rear fender for his 32s. For the Front we used a jigsaw with a fine tooth metal cutting blade. Lost no paint on the front fenders with the cutting. Covered with black door edge trim sillyconed on.

I wish I had read this before cutting mine. What a good idea. I had to add sheet metal and weld the parts back together again.

Oh well there is always next time.
