Fender trimming

Don't know where else to put it...Anyway I trimmed my fenders tonight. I like them

I still need to trim the inner fenders and put the headlights back together.

Wow 135 views and no responses lol. I got a number of complements on the trimming last week at a club run.

Here's a better pic so all can see what it looks like at a little more distance...I had no room to take the last pic lol

Looks *****in' Code! I like the way the 1st gens look without the front bumber on... real clean. I have the same look on my 94 except for I rolled the lip on the fender after I cut. I didn't want to cut up my tires when I'm flexin'.

Keep up the good work man and keep showin us the progress!

Yeah I should have rolled the fender. I'm gonna see if I can figure something out to keep from cutting a tire.

what did you do with the plastic shroud inside the fender? It looks like you just cut it and let it sit there but I was wondering if you could explain what you did.

When I trimmed my fenders I used some zip ties to get the shroud at the front of the fender out of the way:

and for the rear I just folded the fender over it after I had trimmed it to where I wanted it:

The front shroud trimming on my truck isn't exactly pretty so I was curious to see what you did since yours looks pretty clean.

Yeah the first pic just has the inner fender sitting there. I used zip ties though to secure it. Just a couple holes in the remaining fender lip and inner fender with a zip tie. Then I secured the front/rear of the inner fender to the frame.

I trimmed my fenders today to look a bit more clean like yours. Thanks for the inspiration!

We just removed the inner fenderwells and threw them in the back yard.

Being in the desert it works great for us... Won't work well in the rust belt.

I'm thinking about throwing the inner fenders away too. Everything is self contained so screw it

The parts that are green are those the twin i beams? I bought some used 33" 12.50 swampers and want to put them on my 91' if i cut the F.W.'s will they fit ?? Any ides would be great i lost my job so money is non existent at the moment

The green things are the Radius Arms, not the beams. AND, since I have a 4x4, it has Twin Traction Beams, not I-beams.

As far as trimming to fit the 33's, you will need some kind of lift to even be close to fitting them.
