Bushwacker Cutouts

Has anyone actually installed these? Surprisingly there's very little info on this site. The instructions are awful, I had to stop and look for tips before I messed something up.

I haven't seen much said about it either. Most of us try to restore the fenderwells instead of cutting them out. Just make sure you tie the inner pieces back to the outer part of the bodyafter you cut. If you leave it loose you will lose a lot of strength in the fender area.

I'm trying to fit large tires with minimal or no lift so the cutouts do that for me.

Just to make some of you cry, my fenders don't even have any rust.

If I understand the instructions, they want you to rivet through every layer, from the flare to the inner brace.

One thing throwing me off is apparently I have to reuse the peice that was cut off but it's not clear.
