    I guess it would depend on the type of tire? More aggressive MT to a sleek Baja tire?
    That could work as well. And if you fo want to0 put them back on, just "pop" out the Bondo and snap the fender flare back in.

    If I do that, It could end very badly- meaning in a different way than I was thinking haha

    You're doing all this hard work with the premise in your mind that "when I sell the truck I want to put it back together". It kinda cancels all that work out.

    Why not find a girl, buy her a set of DD fake boobages and then dump her...you're not making sense.

    this is true. my 35 bfg at didnt rub as much as my 35 baja claws, but even then, the actual flare trimming is little. the body chop is the main part

    Thats what I'm thinking

    But you do have a good point. But if I try to sell, most likely the fender flares will cover up the Bondo holes and all of that.

    I want it to look decent, because this will be my DD through college- maybe :spy:

    I'm for sure going to do the body chop. I guess I'll just have to see what I go with and see how much it rubs when they are on the truck.....

    A lot of people keep the stock parts to swap back to stock before they sell it. You get very little back in mods, from seeing and experiencing a little of this through people on this forum and friends they are ahead when they sell the parts individually and sell the truck more stock like.

    I may seem that way, but do keep in mind that I am a Senior in High school who has no job, no other vehicle to actually ruin.

    I did have my truck up for sale on craigslist and eBay, but took it off due to my dad still having the title and he wouldnt dare let me sell it without his true permission.

    And I did buy a truck though. It just isn't 4WD. Its a 1990 Chevy 1500 2WD 5.7L V8.
