I did a little work on the jeep today in prep for putting the 37's on tomorrow. I'll take care of the touch up later on this week, but I wanted to make sure I could get the jeep home from my warehouse where the tires are. PS - a Porter Cable jig saw with fine tooth blade cuts Sahara fenders like butter.

37's sitting beside my 33's. Man, they make my Duratracs look tiny.




Started by cutting the rear flares. Tires are off to do the pinch seam after.






Tools put away...picture time.




Man, that is a lot of real estate between the fender and 33...glad I've got bigger wheels.

 

Those 37s are going to look perfect in those wheel wells.

Nice choice on the tires too, saw those at pep boys and had to walk myself out before swiping the card

 

Nice job on the fender trim... how did you mark the line and how long did it take you to complete the job?

 

Looking good!

 

Hehe, yeah, let's just see how I do on 37s first.

Thanks man! I didn't see a ton of feedback on Hankooks so I kind of went out on a limb, but I couldn't turn it down at the price I paid.

Thanks! I marked the line free hand - had the Sharpie pressed up against my thumb and dragged my thumb/marker around the same point on the radius of the fender. I spent more time getting tools out, tires off and cleaned up than the cutting job on the fenders or pinch seam. About 45 minutes with taping. Entire job was around 2 hours key in to key out.

 

Looking real good. You won't be disappointed. Not too long ago I went to 37's too. Happy Holidays.

I'm headed to 37's next too! What size lift are you running?

 

Full Traction 3" lift.

 

Wheels look so small

 

nice job on the fender trim, like how you left the side markers
