pick a line, draw a line or wing it... zzz zzz draw a line

 

which vehicle are you cutting up the fenders? ea81 or ea82? just enough to clear the tires or to clearance the path in front of the tire. there's a lot of over hanging in front of the tire that you do not need if your out wheeling. used to have pics on my site, but forgot to pay the bill and lost the site.

some pics of my cut job...

i made a cut along the upper fender arch line, leaving enough material to weld to, about 1/4 inch ..do not cut thru the inner fender , you will need this later to curl upwards , and to weld together, you can use a pnumatic muffler tool. harbor freight has them for under 20 bucks

you can use the material from the inner fender , hammering it upward

then tack weld it, grind it down ,than putty it in

I just got real drunk and fired up the die grinder I cut right along the lines where the fender flares out in the front and in the back I trimed the edges. I would recomend not getting to drunk to do it cause you might think the next day you went a little to far. Not only that I fit 30x9.50x15's on it without a lift

 

This was before the lift
