I used WOL's write-up and they came out great. Check it out

The taping process:



All 4 fenders removed for the trimming:


Finished and installed with cut sub-structure and rubber molding installed:





It's a work in progress, so far it's sitting on a 2.5" BB, 1" BL, and the trimmed flares. Next Saturday is reserved for trimming my rock rails, pinch seam, and dealing with my clearance issues with the stock bumpers. Then slap on my 37s! It looks crazy right now with all that clearance and the stock 32s haha.

nicely done my friend - i can't wait to see what your jeep looks like with the 37's

Thanks, I hope you don't mind me duplicating your fender lines haha, they just look so sick!

Nice job! Will look great with the larger tires.

Looks good!

Nicely done, looks very neat with good symmetry. I like it....37s will fit nicely with room to flex a little.

You did a good job on the fenders. Agreed, that mod looks weird w/o big tires and stubby bumpers though. Better get crackin'.

Edit: Why trim the rock rails?

Also, aren't most guys doing this mod retaining the inner fenders so as to protect the engine from debris/slop/mud/rocks/etc?

Look how close the rails are to the rear tire, with 37s and this small of a lift it becomes necessary to trim them in the rear to make clearance for the tires, especially while flexing. Same goes for the pinch seam there also. As far as the inner fender side skirts go, I would like to reinstall them, at least in the front. The only problem is that I have to come up with a new way of mounting them because half of the mounting supports are now non existent and chopped off where it mounted to the fenders in the front.

Very nice, I think I'm going to leave the down turn in mine, still debating though.

I get it now, thanks for the clarification. Again, nice work.
