Thanks again for all the welcomes guys.

Here is a newb question On the front side of the rear fenderwells there is what appears to be a triangular portion of the body trim that sticks out into the wheel well. I would imagine at full flex this could easily cut a tire and deflate it. Is there a typical solution you guys have used to get rid of this potential issue?

Cheers,

Ben.

What you are talking about is the pinch seem for the body tub of the JK. Some people cut it off others hammer it down and bend it out of the way. I know there is a thread that explains it step by step but i just cant seem to find it

Just make sure you use some good etching spray and primer to prevent any rust from forming in the area where you cut the seam.

I've had mine for nearly a month now. I did go by yesterday and they've apparently built the twin of my Jeep already although with ever so slightly different wheels.
