I have seen quite a few pics of flatfendered TJ's, and it got the wheels in my head spinning.
How much work would be involved to cut fenders, and make it look halfway decent, and relocate the turn signals to the grille?
Any possible way to keep the fender flares, with some dremel cutting???
Just want to hear some of you guys thoughts on this!!

You can go here and take a look at Poison Spider's setup. I kinda like theirs. Click on "Tube Fenders" www.poisonspidercustoms.com/index2.phpAnother point, is it legal in MA? I did a search and came up with nothing specific on fenders that applied here. If anyone knows about this, please post it. Roger. |

Also, instead of moving the directional, go to a motorcycle shop and get a set of sport bike directional, a little cleaner of a look, and 100 X easier to install!
I am planning on flat fendering in time... probably make up some tube fenders and integrate them into the frame and front bumper!

Home made one.
Weld some pieces of 2" od dom tubing to a sheet of 1/2" plate steel to make a jig, heat the tube up with a tourch and bend it by hand, or you I have seen people make a home made jig and use a bottle jack to bend the tubing.
lastly, harbor freight tools sells a inexpensive bender that can get the job done.

I think the tube fenders look cool! I ve seen a couple that have just been trimmed and thought it looked all right. But if you leave the rear fender flares on it will look geigh.
Plus, get ready for lots of mud and road grime on the side of your vehicle.

oh! you cant put flares back on tube fenders, tho. But if youre just talkin about trimming the front of the fenders then I dont like it. IMO, just leave em dented.
