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 trimmed and cut

After having alot of rubbing issues with my front fenders so i decided to just go ahead and cut my fenders and mid-width my stock bumper. I may make the bumper shorter in the future but i wanted to start a little long and decide later. I cut the fenders with a grinder with a cut-off wheel. I kept all of them on the jeep except one when cutting. I decided to do the first one with it off the jeep and it didnt go well. So i put the rest on the jeep and cut them and it worked out much better. I am fairly happy with the results. I purposely kept them a little larger so i could go back later and cut more if i choose to. May not look the greatest but at least i wont rub now.

Double -
Wish I had the kahunas (and wife's blessing) to cut my fenders!!!

Here is what you'll end up with if you take in the front bumper wings as far as you can.

Would you mind doing a write-up on both how you did the fender-trimming and also how the last picture (red JK) did the bumper?
I would like to do both to my JK after the lift (3") and tires (315's) go on.
And GREAT JOB! I love the look of both!

For a write up and more pics on the Red Rubi 'stubby mod' - follow this thread. Make sure to go thru it all as I did a write up on the 2nd page of posts also.
