    The flare is such an awkward shape to secure...

    I don't mind the look of trimmed flares, going to see how they do for a while. I'm not going to get fiberglass unless/until I go LT, but part of me would rather buy a Razr and keep my truck as a slow-going trail rig. We'll see

    Just use some horse stands or whatever they're called. That's what I used

    Flares cut, the dremel cutoff wheel went through like butter. I tried the sawzall, but it was a bit too violent

    The lines are pretty good, I may clean it up a bit later on after flex testing

    I went and stuffed the rear yesterday and there was only slight rubbing at the top of the fender, I may wait to trim... I was surprised I didn't rub the rear bumper

    I would probably ask Jason to do the bumper if it comes to that, however the leaf springs kind of pull the axle forward slightly when stuffed, so I don't think it'll be an issue

    Rear trimmed. I tried to line it up best I could without cutting the bumper...not sure how much I like that back section. After overland expo and Moab I'll know if I need to cut the bumper, then re-do the line

    I should have done that, granted I am moving faster than I thought I would be... Good foresight Chris
