What's the easiest way to cut the flares? I think I've read about ppl using a dremel?

Take some time to research and make a game plan as to what you want the build to ultimately be. As far as visual impact, a lift, tires, and wheels will change the look completely.

X2 costs 45 bucks, helps prevent/delay/eliminate(in some cases) deathwobble. Also an excellent way to learn your jeep!

Eh, I guess it's better just to save up and get it all done at once

Will 33" fit without getting a lift? Cuz if I can get the tires and then work on getting a lift later that will be good for my wallet.

Cutting them is super easy man. Flares aren't cheap. Save that money for lift and tires is my advice
