Here I did some trimming on the hood.

First tube bent and hood taped off to role the lip under .75".:redneck:

Here you can see the hood needs a littel more trimming but not much.:beer:

Right on! looks good. I built my own highline fenders on my YJ and the only thing I dont like about them is the rear fender just doesnt quite match the look of the raised front.

I got a plan in works to fix that just waiting on the funds.

Keep the pics coming looks like a fun project :awesomework:

The rear is already on the drawing board. I've planned on running Cj5 rear flares ( mounting a little higher of course

). Which I hope to get at the swopmeet Sunday as well new front blinkers. As for now I still have to gussit what I've done, Tube flare the front, Dimond platting, and paint. And yes, more pic's to come.:beer:

hmmm thats interesting... i ran TJ flares on my CJ5 to get more clearance. What are you going to do with the CJ flares to get more clearance on the TJ?

timothy · Mar 16, 2013

Well funny you asked, today I was able to finish the gusets on the front fenders, made templets for the dimond platting, got the holes drilled for the new blinkers, and got the right rear Cj flare fitted, how you ask I did some trimming to mount them higher for more clearance. I will try and post more pic's Sunday:beer:Maybe acuple mor weekends and hopefully I'll be done (for now):redneck:It is a Jeep after all.

May seem like a lot of work for one inch, but that is what it is

Templets made.

Sweetin out the mess, as the wife got this. That one inch differents made it all work I think.:beer::redneck:

what are you trying to bend (90 degree corners or the large radius around the tail corner ? ) you can heat it with propane to get it soft but its real hard to keep a large area hot enough (equal) I have used my big propane weed burner before to heat large areas. works ok. all kinds of tricks and tools for bending sharp angles.

timothy · Mar 23, 2013

The bend I'm trying to do is for the top of the fender. Were the dimond plate enters the engine bay. Ido thank you though for the heat tip:awesomework:
