Cut fenders?

[Bocephus]

It’s one piece after you connect the three, and for removal, you’d remove it as just the single piece. A few hours at least for install, but yes, once mounted, these will come out in just a couple mins.

Correction, front is just two pieces. Rears are three.

Yours looks good with the 2.5 on the wheel well gap. I think with mine having 3 inchs its going to have a lot more gap and might be too much. thats whats holding me back on doing it till I can decide if it will be to much wheel gap what do you think ? you see mine in the above photo ?

I’d do it, but I wouldn’t worry about the gap. The gap to me would mean more flex potential, pending other details like shock length, bump stops. I thought I had slightly too little gap with 2.5, so the fender chop and inner fenders were with goals of more space in mind. Kinda wish I had gone 3” lift.

Are the lights brighter then the factory ones or is it just look like it at the right angle ?

They're not brighter, they just look that way.



They seem super bright - brilliantly bright and just an awesome light. Have no means of measuring, but I'd be surprised to learn if the AAL lights weren't at least as bright (if not brighter) than factory DRL. Maybe specs for both are discoverable.

I have a 2.5" lift with 37s and added Quake LED sequential chop kit and painted the body and clips under the fenders. Waiting on liners to get here...It added about 2" of uptravel clearance. I wouldn't want a taller lift with 37s and fender chop bc the fender gap would be big and tires start to look smaller. IMHO, a 3.5" lift with fender chop looks better on 38s or 40s. Here's mine...have about 8" of room for uptravel.

That looks badass with 37’s and your lift. I’m rocking the front/rear fender chop with 33’s and JLUR suspension on my 2-door Sport (I got 2” of lift from that). I’ll be going to 35’s soon though. Which inner fenders are you going with?

Nice...a friend recommended some Amazon knockoff liners for front and I'm waiting to receive Motobilt rear liners that were ordered a wk ago. Your jeep will look good with 35s...however you'll feel them with 3.45 gearing...especially with the 6 speed. I ran 35s with sport gearing and 6 speed for a week...definitely felt anemic.

Thanks for throwing a wrench in my 3.45 gears lol. Maybe I’ll hold off on the 35’s til I can regear. I just got some Rugged Ridge front inners for pretty cheap that say they’re meant to work with chopped oem fenders, and am putting them on today. I’m eyeballing the JCR rears but will check out Motobilt.

Cool...Do you have the auto or manual transmission?

Manual

With 35s and 3.45 gearing on a 6 speed, the jeep had no useable power in 6th gear...5th could sometimes hold 70mph on flat highway. I was largely needing 4th gear to hold speed on the HWY..

So RIP what little mpg ya get already. I’ll definitely hold off until I can regear then.

I got my Rugged Ridge inners on today:

Fenders chopped. Bedlined Cut the OEM wheel liners to work with chop and turned out great and no issues whatsoever. Waiting on fender lights to help support the fenders. 2.5” spacer lift with 37s. No issue wheeling any of the hard trails yet but love the clearance the chop gave me and no more rubbing.

I did not know rugged ridge made inner liners. Where did you get them and how much were there for the front ? And are you going to put the American adventure lite kit on fenders

Rugged Ridge sells their front liners for around $200.
