Cut fenders look sweet! I'd like to do mine, but I still have stock Rubi tires as well as springs and shocks off a 4 dr. I'm just afraid trimming them now will make my rig look like i need bigger tires.

There would be definitely some wheel gap. Here's a shot with worn out 32" KMs and leveling kit:

Finally got around to cutting my fenders. I think they turned out pretty good. Found some LED strips for the side markers. They came out pretty clean. They may be tucked in a bit high but I think they should still work. Here are some pics.

Here's mine. The edges are a bit uneven. I'm waiting for warmer weather before I can put the door seal around the edges.

Some one had a white 4 door at the El Cajon suds and grub with fenders that he sanded down instead of using the door gasket stuff. Looked really clean. said he used a belt sander to finish it up. Super clean. Think I'm planning on going this route with it.

It's like Chris said..you're cutting the fenders in preparation for what's to come! It will just force you to speed up your build's timeline a little. That's not a bad thing at all! :brows:

Here's how I cut mine. I did both front and rear with the flares on the jeep using a jigsaw with a metal blade.

Need to do this to mine! I really like the lines Eddie took. I like leaving the back without a dove-tail look to it, more of a rounded 90* line. Problem I'm having is that I'm running the stock 32" mudders with a 2" BB already...the fender gap will be insane if I cut them now. Not sure I've got the budget to get the 35's, new wheels AND re-gear all this summer :grayno:
