Still have a few weeks to wait for the front brackets/lights, but couldn't wait. Had to do the rear chop. Looks great. Will start shopping inners now...and 40's

Chop came out clean. Looks like you have a steady hand.

Are you running linerless or just putting in an SEM liner?

 

[BearDog]

Steady hand really not needed. Tabs are very simple to cut with a box cutter style.

I'll find some liners. I hate paying 350-450 for them, but looks like I may have to.

If you didn't throw away your inner fender liners, you can carefully trim and reinstall them to offer a little bit of protection under there.

Thought about it. Do they flop around any?

No flopping, that i know of on mine. I do have a few zip ties securing the cut edge though.

Here's a couple pics before I blacked out the wheel well.

Thanks. I'll try that this weekend and see how they hold up.

No prob. Any time. I used tin snips for the cutting. Make your 1st cut larger than you think. Then do fine tune cutting.
Here's the fronts also, if you need

Did chop front and rear with Fabtech front liners and Bestop rear liners.

Rugged Ridge rear inners are plastic. Which works great when doing rear sway bar relocate I’ll try and find pictures when I installed

I broke down and bought the Artec freedom front and rear.

Will paint up the front flag vent right.

Well, the Quake brackets I bought won't fit. Looks like I need to cut about 1-5/8" off the front lip of the fenders.

I was under the impression that a Max Tow model had actual Rubicon fenders. Seems there may be a 3rd part number instead. Will have to research tomorrow when I'm not pissed. Lol
