Thanks to all those who have posted write ups and pics and answered my many questions

So here is my version very similar to all the rest but I tried many tools and after doing it have some advice for those who want to try it.Ok what do you all think of the write up?

And what do you think of the work?
Hi Red,

Nice Job!

I like the lines of your fenders. I think your work turned out great!

I think the hardest part for me will be marking the cut lines. Between you and the person helping you, it appears that you both have a great eye for a good line.

I guess this is now on my list... It's amazing how long a list I have for a "new" JK.

Thanks again for posting.

Jeff

Great write-up, the end result really looks good and with all of the steps laid out I'm slightly less scared to attempt it, thanks!

how flimsy are the fenders cut? because i have girls jumping in and out of the backseat and they always seem to want to stand on the fenders and i know if i cut them they wont listen to me and step right on them haha

Mine are not flimsy but I still won't let people climb on them and they could kick off the door trim along the edge anyway.

Good luck Wrangler!
