Default Help! Parts fell off

Went out side today and found these parts laying around my Jeep.



Is this normal?





Can anyone tell me where they go?

Going to have to move the BBQ. It's right outside the side to the garage. Started looking at how hard it would be. A couple beers latter.......

Used a 4" angle grinder with a cut of wheel. Some us jig saws, dremils, sawsall, utility knife and heat gun.

I started with 3 Miller lites.

Used 3/4 blue painters tape to mark the cut lines. For me i wanted to keep as much coverage as i could. So i layed mine out so the cut was right above where it turned down(maybe 1/4 " in). Cut one side the way you want it and then make template(i used fill folders) for the front and rear fenders. I did it just for the corners.It worked out great, as i was able to keep most of the front fender support.

I left the fenders on, don't forget to unplugged the side marker light.

I removed the fender support and splash shield to trim them. Used a heat gun to roll the edge of the splash shield to cover the gap at the back of the wheel well opening. As for the rear wheel wells i have not decided what i want to do.


Not as big a deal as i thought.
