Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ryan. I have a 2003 TJ Sport. Within the next couple of weeks, it will have a 3.5" RE lift, 35" MTRs, and ARB air lockers f/r.
I live in Prescott, work as a Business Banker, and have a small 4wd business on the side (out of my house).
I found this website by searching for the highline hood/fender modification, which I will probably also do within the next month, if I can gather the courage.

Welcome, be sure to talk to Jason(Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales) about that AEV setup, he did one on his rig. I'm putting the "heat reduction hood" on my Rubi. as soon as I can find the time.

Welcome.....You can find lots of info by searching this site,www.jeepsunlimited.com (http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/index.php) And www.rubiconownersforum.com
I bought mine from www.aev-conversions.com , My next project will be Highline tube fenders with the AEV hood, cutting the stocker will work, But will be flimsey and week.
I most likely will give my Jeep to my daughter and built a new one...TJ or JK...Hmmmmmm
Probably a TJ Brute/Rock Rig;)

Thanks for the info. The AEV kit is nice, but I'm not willing to spend that much. I'll probably just go for the DIY version. Worst case is that the fenders turn out terrible and I have to buy/build some tube fenders for it. I really like how offroadaz's turned out though. I'm debating between the highline or just getting some tube fenders for the stock hood. I'll keep you posted if I can convince myself to cut up a perfectly good hood and bend some perfectly good fenders.

Yeah, I've seen that too. I think if I highline and I don't like the way the fenders turn out I'll probably go that route. The thing about the PS fenders is that they sort of "piggy back" the stock fenders, so if I am going to cut up the fenders anyway, I might as well try to make them work first.
These guys are supposed to start producing the fenders shown on their site at some point in time. www.rokmen.com

Yeah, Dave is a regular on ROF as you may know! I think the big problem will be the rear side of the fender is not cut back far enough. The aev stocker look is cut back 4 1/4 and mine don't rub in the front at all, The backs do since I got my new tires!
[B]I think the desert fab look is a good way to go, tube fenders that tie-in to the front bumper and they can do a highline fender. Hunter did a great job on desertdawgs jeep and I am sure he can highline too!
