fender flares PT II

(1/1)

kirksjeep:
Since R.J.'s fender flair post is up to page 143 or something like that, I decided to start a new one with my YJ fender flair trimming.  After denting the rear wheel well after stuffing my 35 's into it like this:


I gained 1.5 inches from the back half of the rear wheel opening.  I trimmed about 1 1/4 of metal off and then used a pair of channel locks and a hammer to bend a 1/2" lip like the factory did.  I then cut the inner rubber fender well and used a heat gun to mold it back into the newly formed lip I made.  I Drilled two new holes in the flair and the body since the old holes were cut out.  A little spray on truck bed liner and you can't even see all my hard work. ;)

I thought the 1" body lift would keep the tires from rubbing, but I was wrong, hopefully this works. :P

I'm a few weeks away from that project, so feel free to send it to the shed.  I'm not really even sure all I need to do the swap.

dont' brag; you need to adjust the white ballance and your exposure. 

:)  dont' worry, that would be a hard shot to get right, esp w/o an SLR and some filters.
