A sawzall and my yj

[Mudpuppy]

I want to try to fit the biggest tires on my 95 yj with the least lift as I can. Right now I am running a RE 4.5" lift and revolver shackles. So I am wondering if anyone has some pictures of where they have trimmed their fenders for bigger tires.

So, you just want it too look good on the street or you want you be a ble to flex it out? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">...I'd say maybe 35's max? I have 4in springs SOA and a 2in body and have cut away my fenders back to the firewall and my 38X14 SX's barely fit. Maybe it's just those SUPER flexy Pro Comps! <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/massey.gif" border="0">

I want to flex as much as I can but I need to pass inspection so I can't go to extreme.

Not a YJ, but it gets the job done.

Now that is some of the best cutting I have seen <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

Here's a pic of my yj, with cut fenders.. Its a daily driver of 100 miles a day, I did it to help me fit the 35's better and flex better.



we used a 4" grinder with a cutting wheel to do it all.. looks better in person. Hope it helped,

Mud-
I'm not sure I follow. Can you cut too much to pass inspection? Ask Belly Up he would know if you would pass or not I think.
Nothin like someone else volunteerin ya eh Bert? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/csmile.gif" border="0">

I know Bert we have gone riding a few times together. I will give him a buzz. I think that my biggest problem will be putting flares back on. The tires can't stick out. Mine do now but I think that if I make it to radical I will draw the attention of some of Bert's buddies <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Before spending any dinero on TJ flares, try stretching your YJ ones first. I think you will be suprised how far they will stretch.

I'd probably take them off then draw out your intended cut line(Or use tape). See how many of the original mounting holes you can retain. See how many will have to be redrilled. My real clearence issues were at the firewall, and both the front and rear of the rear wheel well.

Loppy has said he just zip ties the fenders on rather than bolting them in place now. I don't worry bout it anymore. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> Great feelin I must say having a DD.Lemeknow what cha think of these ideas.

[Mudpuppy]

I will give it a shot. That is what I wanted to find out, where and how much to hack. Thanks. Now just waiting for Bert's reply

Great!

He is slow. I think the dept had to fill it's quota for "SPECIAL" officers when he was hired. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Damn dude, did you do that with a hatchet <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
Apparently you've never had to get out of your Jeep on the trail, and have to hold on to the side to walk. That has lotsa stiches and a tetanus shot written all over it <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Rick,
I didn't know you were on this board <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">. I ran Connellsville with you and Brian and a few other guys a couple months back. Short dude with a black TJ. I wanted your Lockright, which you sold to someone else *arrgghhhhhh* <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

<IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> I dunno, looks more like he chewed it off with his teef... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

You don't want lockrights anyway. Get a set of detroits you be happier in the long run. I broke the rear set twice and the front once and that is just running 33" tires. Since I went detroit I have had no problem give me a buzz some time

Only the best stuff man!
The pic there is after about 4 different hack jobs. The first to remove the flares, then flattended it, then removed the front section, then cut it all they way up to the hood. Reason being is that they were SO bent from laying it on and into rocks, that I decided to just get rid of the problem. Now I can walk right through places where other jeep owners are about to <IMG SRC="smilies/crybaby2.gif" border="0"> because they just nicked their flares...or wouldn't even go through to begin with!! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
