South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Ive had a caddy ats 2.0 turbo
Charger 3. slow as idk.
The 2016 burban lt
and now this cherokee. All in the last month and a half?

 

In all seriousness Andrew I would save my money get them from Lowes dremel slots in the frame and feed the clamp through that.. Quick and easy vs welding tabs

 

so I'm looking into something like this but for a lot less money.. Anyone know where other options can be found? Even thought of custom building

 

Decent Idea but unless you dremel a little hole in the end of the slot the frame will eventually crack and cause way more issue than welding a resi mount on the frame.

Yeah I've got one done already just Fawked up and didn't order 2 sets

 

Very true but others have done it so assumed would be fine

 

I have never seen it on a 2nd gen Tacoma, 1st gens will do it and Jeeps do it bad. It is just how metal works, if there is a sharp point and the frame starts to flex it will start to crack around that point. Honestly if I wanted a quick and easy solution for something like a resi mount, I would just drill and tap the frame and bolt a set of clamps to the side of the frame. I might have some pictures of one I recently did, if you guys want to see how.

pmed you @SoutheastOverland

 

These are the only ones I can find right now, if I can find more ill post them!

~Jeff

 

OK, 10-4 man

 

Thanks. It looks pretty even with the outside of the flare.

 

Ok so I've came down to cutting fenders with a dremal and cutting flares with a jigsaw. Anyone think another way would be better?

 

Cut both with a Jig saw, If you get a metal blade for the jigsaw itll cut right through the metal. It allows you to cut a much cleaner line to.

~Jeff

 

Nice thanks. Any certain blade to cut the flares with?

 

You can cut them with the same metal blade, but make sure to tape everything up. It is not cool to mess up paint LOL

~Jeff

 

Yeah I'm going to get a real fine multi tooth blade. And painters tape should do right?

 

That should work great, do you know how to relief cut?

~Jeff

 

Nope. Well I might if I saw what you was talking anout

 

You going to be able to get any upward travel/flex/articulation with just chopping fenders on 3" lift and 35s? You don't think you'll need a bit more space under there?
