Probably the most sound advice in this thread. Bushwackers suck in general, your not going to be able to keep them on if you wheel, they crack very easily and look like shit. But the way this jeep is turning out it probably is just a mall crawler.

With no doors and a winch and trimming I dont think it looks like a mall crawler. dont do the wackers. I plan on rustys flex fairs one day.

and he meant that he would not want to mess up a new shiny xj, by taking a cut off wheel to it's fenders

Alex, as chedisme said it is clearly not a mall crawler, its got skids, bumper, winch its ready to rock. As for the rear fenders, i like the look of wackers better, but cutting the rear fenders is a tricky business, i want to keep the body as rigid as i can. I already sawzall'd the front, but thats the front, different story there.

So do what 95% of the people here do, cut and fold the rear. Simple and effective process.

i dont htink 95% do, but my rear tires never touch my rear fenders, this is about 5" rear on RE stuff and 32" tires.

You have a 5 inch lift for 32's? Wow overkill much? You can run 32's on a 3 inch lift and have a better COG.

i have had bushwhackers for about 8 years they have rubbed trees rocks and are still fine the ultimate test was when my jeep rolled on labor day the flairs are still usable the jeep not so much.

 

[wolfpackjeeper]

jeep is still good. Shit, sawzall and some tube and you will be good to go.

it was a 4.5" re lift netting 5", 32s where there for price and the fact htat i have 3.07 gears. and i like it.

Eww 3.07's i had those on my 33's they kinda really suck...but so did the Peugot. I fixed what jeep had set up wrong now. Oh BTW I have a snorkle and Bushwackers too. I have not had ne problems w/ either however I would not recommend the bushwackers unless they are the only way to stay legal. I have them there so that Milpol is not a PITA when I go on base.

im surprised MPs would care, youd think they would hook ya up, especially something as superficial as fenders when theyve got hummers and stuff runnin around already

my rear fenders are folded in, bought them with it cut, and just took a C clamp and squeezed them.
