CHOP CHOP!
Here's a quick little description of what I did with my flares, and a few visual aids.
Bought the flares brand new $95, as I didn't have any (damn Jeep boating accident
).
Cut the small section off that goes along the stock bumper, because they would not go on with my bumper in the way. Marked the lines with a sharpie. Grabbed my 4" grinder with a cutting wheel and went crazy on it. Put on a flap disc to smooth the edges.
After that, I dropped them off at Linex, paid $135 with taxes, took them home, popped in 5 grey heavy duty clips, and five 1/4 x 3/4 bolts. And that's it.
Taking off the sides of the flare gives me about 3" extra clearance for my future Long Travel setup with 33's. My wheel liners were already out, and the body painted black,so it's not an issue. She gets washed every Sunday, and always asap after wheeling, so dirt being trapped is also not an issue.
Well, that's all I guess....now that steel D30 needs to get here..
