finally got the stones to cut my fenders
Should be a fun afternoon and I get to meet a new Jeeper! Let me know!
I know this is an old thread but when you google search for jk fender mod its the top non youtube hit.
It seems most guys go for the flat fender look when chopping the flares. I only found one picture where someone saved the side marker. So I wanted to share pics of what I did to mine. In the front wheel pic the tire size changes, the before pic has a 285\70\17 and the after pic is 285\75\17. I forgot to take a picture with the new tire before cutting. I have yet to flex it to it's limits to see if that's enough clearance. I can always cut off more.
