[CumminsJeep]

oh i love this site. only here can you ask a question about trimming your fenders and end with a v8 chainsaw

and we even steared him in the right direction with every option we gave him

I used a dremel with reinforced cut off wheels on my front fenders of my XJ, some people dont have the patience, but it came out extremely clean for me that way and that was how I wanted it, so i took my time to do it.

i dont know how a WJs front fenders are constructed, but hopefully this method can crossover to help you.

good luck

Used a dremel the same way, but I took the front panels off to do it and had to cut crazy high because of the fukin TJ flairs that came w/ mai heep.

And WJ fenders are def thicker than XJ fenders.

You guys are going about it all wrong. You need this...



But seriously I used a good set of tin snips. It took a while, and I cut myself, and that got infected. But hey it kept me busy for a while.

ui always liked angle grinder with cut-off wheel's. I cut my hood down and sliders with 4 1/2" cut off wheels and worked great. here's a tip for ya. mask off the surrounding and primer/paint the edge you cut, even if you fold it over...

another tip is go to wal-mart/ auto store and pick up some black rubber door edge protector. its about 3/8" wide rubber strips with a slot in them. squeeze some rtv into the slip and push it over freshly cut sheet metal edge and it will not only get rid of sharp edges, with the rtv it will seal the edge so it wont rust out my hood has been cut down for about 2 year's now and not a single spot of rust yet.
