HunterK Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Not sure if anyone has done it or tried it. I'm thinking about cutting out the rear wheel well of a 2 door Cherokee almost up to the window and replacing the rust on my bed. Haven't looked into it for to long but the wheel wells look about the same shape/size. Anyone know if this will work? Are they the same size/shape wheel wells? Anyone do it?

hassyfoto Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 It can be done with some piecing its allot of work I have done it. I did not need to go up that far though. I have a new old stock factory long bed bedside driver side for sale if interested in Pa. I just recently ( August 2016) used two cherokee fenders to repair the rust on the bedside of my truck. You must split the patch, cut from the fender in two, length wise, and add a 3/4 inch strip of metal in between your split in two-part patch from the fender. On my truck, I repaired & patched the inner wheel well first (cut out the rust, apply weld-thru primer to both the wheel well and the patch were both pieces overlapped. After all welding was completed, I wire brush both sides, apply Eastwood rust inhibitor, allowed to dry over night, applied primer & paint. I cut the fender to size and trail fit the fender patch until it was the size I needed. This included cutting the patch length wise and separating to match up all contours. In the photo you can see the black rust inhibitor on the inner fender well and you can see how the fender patch was cut length wise. I had to make a flat 3/4 wide metal patch to fill in the gap.

Thanks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
