    Ok, I know there is a good thread out there with instruction on trimming fenders. I found it a long time ago but can't find it now. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can find something on the subject.

    I am looking at doing it in the near future and want some guidance. I know I can do it. But there are a few specific things I don't remember about it.

    Remove fender flares if applicable

    Mark and tape how far back you want the cuts

    Cut the shit out of your truck with a nice smile on your face

    Touch up fresh metal with primer

    Repeat procedure for remaining fenders.

    Lol I smiled when installing my snorkel. I will surely smile for this. And I agree, a few beers never hurt when working on your truck. I always make sure I'm not alone... Someone has to record the madness ;)

    Have a 3 inch lift on my rig and didn't have to cut the flares at all for my 33s, just a little of the plastic in the well
