Cutting Corners ???
Was wondering if any one has cut those corners in front of the rear tires on the rocker panel, and knows whats in there. Reason is, is that I am trading from 35's to a 37x13.50R17 Toyo's and I am a little concerned if that's going to be to close to the tire. I have a 3" TF lift and tube fenders, looks like there is plenty of room, except in that area of the corner protrusion.
Thanks

Pretty standard operation for the guys with big tires and small lifts. I'm looking forward cutting the pinch seam myself when I finally get my rocker guard/tub skins.

And here I thought this was going to be another thread about Chrysler getting cheap on us 
Yes, trimming the pinch seam is very common. I used a pneumatic cut-off tool to trim mine. I took off about 1 or 2 inches, just enough to pull the pinch seam back behind my rubi rails which I also trimmed down by 2 inches.
