Getting Fenders cut on XJ

[Cherokee-MP]

I know we have some people that work for "rock shops" and what not so i was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere i could go to get my fenders cut and possibly a ballpark estimate?? :o No, i'd rather not do it myself since i know nothing of fabrication even though my father has the tools...Yes it would be the first mod i havent done myself :(

I just got done cutting mine and it's not that hard. There's plenty of tech articles on the web about it.

You only need 3 things. The third one is optional and may make your cuts zig-zag but highly recommended to help you get the courage...er... started!

From what I've heard there are ways to increase the amount of space in the wheel well without hacking up your jeep. There is a plastic piece under the wheel well which can be removed quite painlessly. I am considering it if I have any problems with my new lift.

that works in most cases but the problem i had with that was my tire stuck out past my fender so when i flexed out i crushed the fenders, i dont know if anyone else has had that problem but i did and now they look like chit becuase they are all bent from before the cut.
just my .02
