JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default My Fender Chop UPDATED PICS

Yeah I know another fender chop thread. Anyways I put the Jeep under the knife today and chopped my fenders, they're not done yet I still have to sand down the driver side and put the trim on and then cut down the "fender pants" as WOL calls it and put them back in but the hard part is done. Let me know what you think.




Finished passanger side



I'll probably do the rears next week



Please let me know what you think.

Looking good... I would do this mod myself, but no need until my stock 32's wear out... But I like the look regardless!

Thanks, I'm not sure yet. I did this for pure function just because the tires would rub alittle when at full flex and the rear didn't. Now the tires look small. I might maybe next week just for sheetz and giggles.

Great job! I say do the rear too to complete the look.

But before you do the rear, post a few more pics with just the fronts to give us an idea how it will look. Thanks.

Maybe these 2 pics can help you make up your mind. I did the same thing as you. I did the fronts, and honestly it took me much longer to do than I expected. Granted I took my time and really put some thought into how to chop the skeleton in order to keep it for support. Glad I did too. Those fronts are solid! Anyway, here is one without the backs chopped, and then one with the backs chopped. Personally, I think it matches much better having them both cut... but everybody has their own tastes. Your fronts look great by the way.

Oh yeah... I'm cracking up at your comment about going from 35's to 37's. That is the FIRST thing I thought of too after my chop!
