Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

you get a high tpi count saws all blade and you cut vertical slits about an inch or so apart all along the fender up to about were the lip ends and then you fold them in. Just have to be careful not to cut the welds i guess. Search jeepforum.com, there are tons of DIYs. I'm going to do this eventually.

Are you ripping these off becuase of your sagging springs and 235's?  If so, you must have the light duty springs.
