So I finally had the balls and the reason to finally hack away at my fenders this past weekend. But before I took blade to plastic, I did a search for fender chops on the forum and got a few ideas here and there. The amount of different cuts I found I believe warrant a thread to house them. So please post your fender chops here so that others can be inspired in one place. Thanks.

Oh the reason I finally chopped my fenders is I put a nice size dent on my rear fender trying to squeeze past a tree on a wheeling trip and then I popped a few fender clips on my pass side front fully flexed. Anyway here are pics of my fender chop.

 

Yo, I just Chopped mine today, thanks to Reds Fender CHop thread....I love the way it turned out.

 

I just choped my fronts. Thinking about the back. I love it. My wife says it looks like a 4-wheeler.

 

Been chopped for while but here is mine... having fun with jkf app so why not? Lol

 

i put my marker lights on top of the fender, the screw foe the light helps hold the fender to the under bracing...

 

Did a real mild chop on mine to clear the 33's:

 

Sorry don't have any good up close pics but here's a few on the trails to give you a feel for ours.

This is probably the best pic we have of the lines we went with.


tree vs JK ~ nice thing about the chopped oem's is you can pop them back in with some new clips, we carry a set with us.


And we love the extra clearance it provides.

 

renpia I like the rounded corners you did on yours. When I redo the edging in the spring I'm going to round off the corners on mine

 

Nice! You don't see too many chopped Saharas. Looks good!

Your's too mjolnir.

 

I really like your chop design. It's unique. I thought of copying you but then there'd be 2 yellow 4-doors that would look too similar. Great looking ride!

Good call on the clips. I bought 2 bags for this reason as well. They break too easy.
