There is a variety of ways you can do it and they wouldn't be very hard to build with a basic tube fender kit similar to what gearhead used on his rig. The same way he built his tube fenders, you could build the highline fenders and then just cut the hood to fit. I bought mine already built though, mainly just because I don't have the time anymore to build the stuff. In the rear, I started with corner guard blanks, cut a basic wheel opening, welded the tube flares on, and then cut it all out as high as I could without getting into the passenger compartment of the tub. I am very happy with how it came out and would build it the same if I had to do it all over again.

the main reason i went with a bought kit is time cause no on could tell me what would work with a cj clip on a yj tub and frame and yj inner fenders sniper fab mixed up a cj and a yj kits and shiped them out i had to trim a there kit down to make it fit they way i want but a cj set would have bolted on from what i can tell and i started looking at highlining but it would have looked dumb but i have room for 40's so i m going to lower it 3" and if i decide to run 40's i will highline it using what i got

So, these pictures really make me happy.
These ones are even better. All of these pictures were taken with the Jeep sitting at ride height. I am very happy with its new stance.
Thanks goes out to Nate for helping me get the front axle together and the tires on. Its always nice having an extra hand. I am very happy with the overall ride height and it should drive out of the garage on the 38's. That alone is impressive to me. As you can see by the pictures (for those of you who haven't seen this in person), I have a really small garage.

That's just because you can't see the corner I threw everything in, lol. Thanks though Rock. I can't wait to get it going. It'll be a slow process and I work the bugs out and learn to drive it in its new form, but it'll be fun.

I started out keeping a record, but stopped after a while. I've got a lot in it I know that. I was able to do a lot of it cheaper then most would think though. If you are patient, you can find some crazy deals on pirate, ect. You just have to keep an eye out. Good used and second hand new never installed parts are easy to come by on there at a fraction of the price.
