Whats the best tool for the fender chop
Thinking about choping my front fenders whats the best tool and what should I look out for if anything. Anyone have some to sell me?

For the next three, I used a dremel with a sheet rock blade and left the fenders on. It was very steady (duh!) and I could see what I was cutting much better. I just cut the liner away from the fender as I went. After I separated the liner from the flare, I used the dremel to trim back the extra skeletal support piece and I was done. The cuts were straight and smooth enough that I didn't bother to trim the edges.

I read the comments on the fender chop thread. I am still unsure as to the tire size after choping. I would love to run 35's with my 2" FT lift. Is this possible with chopping the fenders? What backspacing

used the dremel with cutting wheel to score the fenders and then used the dry wall blade on another dremel tool to cut through the fender following the score lines. Took more time but the lines came out straight. Also, left the rears on and cut them on the Jeep. Good luck and post up pics when finished!
