Here's what I used... Of course, I used my own methods and cut angles, but this was a great guide... Just go for it, you'll love it after you do it!

Remember less is more when chopping fenders. You can always cut more off if you don't like it but can't put it back on. I took my liners off to do initial cuts, reinstalled and then did some final trimming.

I have been searching for ten minutes and this is the most relevant thread so far- the search function on this website is trash.

I tend to have the same problem when I am searching for information on here. I usually find what I am looking for if I type my search subject with "jk forum" at the end into Google. This search bar will pull any threads with the word "The" in it, it seems like. I took my liners out and don't regret it, really makes no difference to me. And I tried using a dremel for a few seconds and made a quick switch to the Sawzall lol. It will be all said and done in an hour or two.
