Time to remove some 1/4 panel

Fullsizexj · Jan 23, 2004

Got the 40" MTR's sitting undr it now and need to remove some 1/4 panel on the rear side. I am thinking on removeing the factory tub and making a new one with 1/8" plate and running it back around 5" more, anyone else done anything like that and have pics

yeah, the flares are ghey, but they keep the 5-0 off my back.

Now that is sort of what I was thinking on but just adding to the rear length, but still make a whole tub, With the wishbone 3-link I have the tire moves back under compression so the front edge is not a problem

then prolly the only difference is you'll be able to keep your backseat

Borton did pretty much exactly what you're talkin about (well, he also cut off the rear roof) and I can't seem to find his website, but he had some VERY good pics.

If my database was up, I'd link to that blue and white monster of a cherokee on 44s (now on 49" iroks)... but since it's not :bawl:... try searching POR for "The Wagner Machine Shop Big Meats Run"

Not quite that extrem at this point in time, just got the dang thing back out of my garage a couple months ago after a 6 month project, I want to wheel it some for a while

I think that 1/8" plate is complete and utter overkill. Slap it on with some 16 or 18 guage sheetmetal and call it good. That thing looks BIG.

Richard,

Those are totally way to big for your jeep!

Send them to my shop and I'll store them for you!

with the full width axles it feels really stable, no where as bad as it was a 6" with stock axles

thats what mine looks like, tho the tires are entirely too small. it would be difficult to go much further back than this, with out relocating the gas filler lines. and your jeep looks absolutly badass. hope mine looks that good someday.
