Here we go again !......  :hack:

A little fender work on the forth of July.

Took about one hour with a cost of $12 (for edge trim). Got to play with my fav tool :hack: .

Cool thing is they are not ridgid, designed to flex...haha...so no worries about them bumping into trees and pushing in the body panel.
Another cool benefit is that there is no marker light to break and I have to put 35\'s on now to full in the space.... ;-)

Not sure if I\'m gonna replace the mud guards in the front ....kinda like it this way.

Rear fenders will meet the same fate soon!

Today I ordered new rear control arm/shock brackets.

I need to cut down the old ones by 2\" then install and weld these on. They have skids on the bottom to protect shocks and cntrl arms.

They should give me some additional clearence when done.

Is it time for 35\'s yet???

Looks good.  Hope they hold up well with trees I know mine did not fair to well.  Then again I didn\'t cut them.  I like the cut rears.  I may do that instead of doing tube for the time being.

we got the control arm/shock re-location brackets put in last night....Thanks Mike!
no more concern about damage to lower shock mounts or control arm brackets!
Ready for the rocks!
