Now that's just mean.

I'll need some help with the plate. Something you do?

many bolt on companies sell kits for rear fenders / tube fenders / rock rails ect

pretty hard to beat their prices with custom work

This is not the rear corners. This is on the top of the wheel "hump" in the tub, directly in front of the bolts holding the roll cage down. The only thing I found to "replace" was a whole tub.


The rust on the rear corners will be addressed by replacing the corners. That seems to be a pretty common thing to fix.

Inside the tub...  That'll be custom work.

Burn it.

MLC has officially joined the ranks of Aussie Locker equipped vehicles (front only).
She now has back windows that can be taken off AND put back on.
DW seems to be under control with new ball joints and wheel bearing from M4 plus all new TRE and ZJ upgrade.
M4 fixed some exhaust problem last night (more an idiot owner problem).


Next on the list is some rust work, paint touch ups to prevent more rust, and electronics work. Mrs wants me to replace the front fenders.

Thinking about using the 33s permanently so 4.56s may be in her future. Going to see how the 33s do with a little snow before I commit though.

Those are the one's she's been eyeballing. I thinking the 4.56s would be a better move right now. The driver side is already see through so it won't get "worse". Getting the engine happier would make things better all around.


And no Mark, "burn it" isn't going to happen.

[Wingman]

Well, fine... 

Don't waste your time with stock sheet metal fenders.  Every TJ that gets wheeled ends up with the passenger side pushed in.

If you are going to put highway miles on this in the winter, do yourself a favor and get a good set of snows.  While loads of "fun" in the snow, fat 33s will require very sensible driving habits.  Save the 33s for summer time.

i like how one fender says easy install, and the other says serous modifications to fender and professional installation recommemded-  and they are the same fender ha
