mine lugs around because of the size of tires and lack of power due to the tall gearing. and not to mention the overdrive in and out while driving 60-65. can't wait to find out though.

Do you have any pictures to share of your trimmed fenders? I'm curious how they turned out.

Yeah I wanna see some pics! I noticed the props in your sig Bro

If you guys end running at SMORR on the 9th seeing your fenders in person will be another plus too! We can compare!

Damn bro that looks good. I like my fenders but ill still trade them off for a set of Black painted sahara fenders in a hot second. I think mine are just a little too narrow in the front. I cant wait to see your rig after all the work is done.

Thanks guys It is one of those "just take a deep breath and go for it" moments. but as soon as the blade hit the plastic fender it was a lot easier than I thought. The PITA part was trimming the front inner fenders, that took along time to line up and decide where to trim and how much to take off. RC ...your fenders are bad ass and after seeing them at Disney, it gave me the motivation to go buy some new jig saw blades
