Front inner fender rework


Recommended Posts

I have raised my flares as much as possible, as I have posted before. It has 6.5" of lift with some wornout 31's on it right now. It will have 35" tires when it is finished.

 

Here is a picture of the inner fender after raising the flares with 33" tires.

I cut the front of the inner fender for a dramatic increase in room.

My goal is to get as much uptravel as possible as part of my build.

I still need to do some more welding, then clean up and paint it.

 

 

Here is a picture looking straight down from under the hood.

Here is a picture the inner fender. I gained 4" or more of clearance.

The difference is dramatic.

There is now more room in front the tire then from the rear or above. I should be able to stuff the tire about 3" more and still be able to turn from lock to lock. As part of the build the front axle will be moved forward 1".

No problem. I'll just take it easy and get as much done as I can. I still have a bunch of tear down on the MJ.

 

Maybe I'll finish the little bit I have left on the XJ so Scorpio can take it and make some room for me. Maybe he can hang out and get the box if and over where the XJ is.

 

It all depends on how I hold up.

 

Let me know when you need the lift parts and possible ther front bumper and rear springs/shackles.
