I just a little more clearance in the rear wheel wells... so with a hammer and an angle grinder, I followed the steps Metalcloak suggested... Pretty simple.

  3. Are you rolling on 35's or 37's? (Wondering if this is necessary for 35's)

  4. 37s. I'd say know unless you saw a need specifically. I've been running for a while with 37s before with no real issues.

  5. I was planning on trimming and painting the wheel well edges once I go to flat fenders, more for cosmetics than anything else. Right now I'm on 35's and other than trimming the rubi rails, I haven't done anything else mostly because I didn't see anything that looked like it would be too close at full flex. But this was still a good video to show how quick n easy trimming the wells is!

  6. What Jeep club are you in? Is it only JKs or do y’all have KLs too?

  7. I thought The Joker from Batman was doing the grinding for you.... the color of the sleeve & glove!

  10. I filled the gap left after trimming with POR-15 Epoxy Putty then once dry POR-15 coating. Finally the rattle can to tidy it all up.

  11. Noticed you don't have the rear Teraflex speedbumps like you had in previous videos - why did you remove?
