Does doing the small cuts first make it easier to keep a straighter cut?
Did you finish the edges after the cuts?[/qoute]
On the rear the small "slice" cuts you see actualy are bent under the quarter if you cut this off all the way the inner and outer wheel well seperate, thus you would have to push the inner well up and re-weld. To finish I sanded the loose paint away, sealed, painted and then sprayed with under coating. should keep it safe for now.
What size lift and tires you got? [/qoute]
Right now it's a RE 3.5 and 31's. after I regear I will go to 5-6 and 33's the front will have all kinds of room the back may need a bit more work.. Guess I need to learn to weld
[qoute] what did you use to mount them?[/qoute]
For street I am using bolts. With the curve of the body slightly differnet the then TJ it helps the look to suck in the edges. I played around with some differnent fastener but didn't like the look of them. they all left a small gap between the body and the Flare. I am sure the first time I rip one of these things off I will switch to something different.
Thanks for the words. Really I took my time, about 12 hours total with all the detail work, to finish this up. If you didn't care about the fit around the molding it would be about half that. RkitOut did a great job on his, when you get a chance check them it out.
look around to find flares, I got mine from a local guy that put a set of Bushwackers on this 2004 Tj, With less then 4000 miles. hehehe.. wont tell ya the price.
Later
