XJ fender trimming.
 

http://shell.exo.com/~cal/socalxj/Fendertrim/

I ended up bobbing the rears on both sides and repainting etc. I cut and
folded them in and used sheet metal screws to hold it together. I will
probably try and weld them one day with my mig but those screws seem to be
holding well. The fronts I did a few months ago.

Hi Kevin,
I think it looks good. But you were just copping what a rock did to
the other side, right? ;-)

Re: XJ fender trimming.
 

LOL well the other side was a bit more beat but it isnt that bad. I actually
did it because a few guys came over wanting to trim theirs. so I did mine
too. I have more lift going on soon. the parts are in my garage waiting to
go on (taller leafs, ACOS etc.) The 33" tires are in the side yard waiting
to go on too. The trimming had to get done some time. The stock rear bumper
is going away in a few weeks. We are making one right now that will cover
the cut out bobbed portion behind the back tires. Also going in is a new gas
tank that is a bit bigger.

Re: XJ fender trimming.
 

I had to look twice to notice the bottom of the fender was gone.

You did a good job with the sheet metal.
