    the bullshit i went through with johnston keeps me out of that town

    all i do is pass through it on the highways now

        only not have the fender tube 4 inches from the body. skin that shit, and have it stick out more eyesoringly

        If you do something like that, you could make tabs on the tube and bolt on something to cover the tire on the street. I don't know about you but I like having no fenders for wheeling... full view of the tire and what is around it.

              1.75 DOM might sound big but i think it comes out very well and proportional
              1.75 x .120 wall is perfect for most anything

                if you look at the pics of Coits sami he did the same thing and i think it looks good.

                in that pic i would bend a tube and cut it into the fender (welded) that follows the bend of the wheel opening, build a tube flair off of that as a base and skin in between the 2. this would eliminate the fuggly tube at the hood hight

                          when the hell did i tell someone to suck a permanent marker lol

                          oh yea, thread. i had issues with my last jeep and cops in ONE TOWN and threw on some hideous things to cover the tires. then they still pulled me over for crimes i didnt commit because said town is full of prick cops. it's a long story.

                          this is the first time for this jeep. but it would be nice to not worry about it. the cop was kinda cool about it once he was done with his sarcastic comments. he said he doesnt care if i throw stock tires on it and show up at the fix it date, then put the big ones back on. i just need it fixed for that one day.
                          if he said that about the stock and big tires then why the fuck would he pull you over in the first place??? wow i FUCKING hate pigs. im lucky tho i grew up with the police chiefs son in my town so im all set around here...
