When you guys go to paint the wells, try using an underbody coating to prevent chipping.
A couple cans from Kragen did the job for me. Makes SUCH a difference!

Nice work!

Did you end up putting the rear liners back in? It looks like maybe you painted the rear wells (I can't quite tell because it looks like maybe they were painted in the before pictures as well?). I ended up using the spray on truck bed liner for mine.

In addition to that we used the new Dremel Multi-Max with the 3/4” Wood & Metal Flush Cut Blade. Don't use the 3” Wood & Drywall Saw Blade because it's to hard to control the cut! Found the trick that worked best was to use the standard dremel first and create a score line then use the Multi-Max to rip through the fender. As for the curves, we only used the standard dremel taking a lot of time and patience!!!

Thought I did but I don't. I'll take some when I get it back from ORE.

Thanks for the advice! I know you posted your's when it was done, did you post pics of the wheel wells as well?

Yeah decided to put them back it just took a little cutting to make it fit. But to tell you the truth after seeing one of the JK's at ORE without the liners I think that it looks pretty good without them as well.

Pepboys, pretty good flexible stuff. We used Eddie's (WOL) write up making only slight changes.
