More Snow!!!!
While it sucks I can't get my new fenders on due to the snow and me not having a heated garage to work in, I got to love this weather when everyone is flying off the roads and little rice burners can't even make it down the interstate, and I just drive by and laugh.

Isn't that the truth. This time of year makes me glad I drive a jeep.

I did the chop this past week while on vacation. Looks good so far but thinking of painting the rear fender wells black. Any thoughts? Also painted my factory wheels till I can get my accountant (aka. The wife) to release funds! Lol

My idea was to make it look mean. I cut more off than most want, but that is the beauty of that mod. It is unique to everyone's jeep. I wanted an open wheel-well look anyway. I applied the door trip in warm 70-75 degree weather 2 years ago, without a heat gun, and it hasn't given me a bit of trouble. I also used a grinder with a cut-wheel. Then I went through with a box cutter to shape them to the exact size. Definitely use some blue painter's tape to tape the lines a few times and step back to see how it will turn out before you cut.
Those look awesome!! Nice job
