Step 1. Take sawzall.

Step 2. Cut until you get scared youre going to hit anything thats important.

Step 3. Take a nap, cause youre done.

Danville huh? That's pretty close to home... Closer than I am right now :D

Exactly what do you want to trim? There's lots of different ways to do it. Commonly, people with 97+ XJs trim the bumper endcap up front to allow clearance for turning when stuffed.

A little more info on the rig would help out ;)

I have a RE 3.5" with 31x10.50's... Trimming the end cap sounds like what I need cause thats when I get the most noise... when I stuffed and trying to turn

Another Pa'er! I'm in lancaster.
Anyways my rig is sitting at 3.5". Check out the back of the wheel well on yours... I was getting a hell of a noise coming from the passenger side front and it turned out that my tire was catching the edge of my flare. I only happened to me at a full cranked turn. I am '94 though. Just a thought, I had no other problems. But I dont know how it'll go on newer style XJ.
