Anyone in Georgia that would help me trim my fenders? I just can't work up the nerve to do it. Thanks feel free to move, if this is not in the right area.

after weeks of thinking about it (only have 32" duratracs right now) i decided im doing it. I put it off for a while but i think it will look so much better and when i FINALLY get bigger tires on the next go-round it'll look amazing. I start tonight with the help of a friend and in his shop..fingers crossed! just take the plunge man, theres a lot of threads that deeply explain it and i think if you just take your time, you'll be good

go to town on them . I did my brother's jeep not to long ago, really isnt to bad. I'll be doing mine as soon as i get a lift and bigger wheels and tires. Measure and tape, follow the tape best you can and sand down. Really easy to do and not much room for error just take your time.

leave them on your jeep and use painters tape to make a cut line. Measure various parts from the metal fender to your cut line so you can make both sides even. I used a dremel with their little diamond cutoff wheel and they turned out nice. Just dont go to extreme because once its off its not going back on!
