Cut Lower Rear Quarters...(pics and write-up)

[Justin M.]

It's not shown on their site, but they do make it. Call or e-mail them. It is called the RbM(rear bumper modified).

i spy JCR quarter gaurds on that red one. very clean look. thats something i plan to replicate.

That bumper is awesome! I cant seem to find it on their site though?

Ive got one waiting for me a home to put on. :shhh:

Give Terry a call. He is a great guy to work with (bought a front one a couple of years ago). Ill try to get some pictures up when I get home friday.

Not JCR, those look to be Thor's 1/4 guards. Notice the offset blinker light and no side marker. I think Thor's look better but I like how JCR's have the light boxed in with their separate bolt on piece. Either way quality products, I like how the lights are clear on that red one.

apples to apples...

they do the same job. but it looks clean, thats really what i noticed right away. i think whoever did the trim job did a good job as well. i also spy some funky vents between the wheel well and the door, id like to see more on that as well.

but my favorite is the upside down "jeep" sign. though it doesnt truely say "jeep" i got to get me one of those.

i would just like to say i really like this mod, but what is everyone doing for bumpers to cover the extra material behind the shackle but still take advantage of the clearance gains by angling the edges of the bumper up wards?

You get one of these!

Yes! I want to see more of this thing!! What is the selling price for one of these?

Im not a big fan of the looks of modded rear bumpers, but this is by far the most clever and good looking one out there!

ive got a question...

most of the pictures are of the passengers side. but does the drivers side fold up nice and flat even with the angled peice in there for the filler neck.

 

[nickguy]

It is pretty much the same. you will have to slightly modify the fuel hose guard but it actually flattens out very easily and you can attach it to the new floor that you make. I read in one of the writeups that the second one you do will look better so make that the side you look at most.

Do you have to use rivets or will self taping screws work? I weld too, but i don't know if i want to bother. If i do weld it, should i do the outside and the inside or just the outside. What type of sealant to did you guys use?

 

[VAhasnoWAVES]

got mine done... before:

the orange isnt rust... its... well, orange. lol. i was sanding a bumper and touched the jeep with my orange fingers.

AFTER:

How exactly are you people bending the sheet metal in the picture above? So that it bends it in a straight line? What tool?

 

[Oil Town XJ]

Hands haha, it bends pretty easy since there's already a crease. Cherokee's are made out of tinfoil!

its creased, so it does its own thing. if your really worried put a piece of wood under it and use a jack to slowly apply pressure to it as you go. or just bend the darn thing.

So easy they should make a Geico commercial about it.

I found that tapping the underside with a hammer finished the bend more cleanly and made a sharper egde at the bend. I also welded up the underside and bondoed/sanded it up to make sure it didn;t ever leak.

Just curious im in the middle of doing this and when i cut the peice by the bumper the inner sheet metal is attched to it how do i remove it

 

[VAhasnoWAVES]

sawzall. then fold it up.

That bumper is cool, but from my experience, if you don't extend it past the body line, bad things happen to your hatch (and window) when you bump a tree.

I love the job you did with the corner fold, nice work!
