My point was, my pickups move and are all drivers/wheelers, wile yours is not.

If you really wanted to finish it, you would be out there with a lamp working on it.

i ain't bleeding the brakes by myself at 3 a.m. dave, lamp or not. that's all the truck needs to be a driver besides a rear bumper.

as i've stated before, all my vehicles move, it's the stopping part that is the issue......

Bleeding brakes is just a waiting game. Open a bleeder screw and wait for fluid. Easy as pie even when hammered.

i think with the unit body b/s you kind of have to lift it for 33's. can't really cut that much on them because it gets into structural parts, otherwise guys would be chopping them more.

they are when you end up cutting out pinch welds and body seams :flipoff:

if it was as easy as just chopping wells and boom 33's fit everyone would be doing it. they have tiny crappy wheelwells. even with a 3 1/2'' lift you need to trim to have 33's fit and if you have the wrong offset in your rims with 12.50's or wider you're still rubbing big time.

you can fit 33's with a 3-4" lift and cutting the fenders did it on my nephews. even tho he's only running 31's now 33 will fit. even on a 4 door kee.

Writeup: How to cut and fold the rear fenders and keep your stock flares. - NAXJA Forums -::- North American XJ Association

You might want to try using this method for cutting and folding your wheel wells. I have an XJ that the p.o. went at it with a sawzall and yeah, I can fit 35's on it, but it's rusting out from mud getting packed up inside the body since the body panels are separated.
