Fender trimming/BFHing

[Fatdrew]

So I got new tires.... and they rub. Go figure. Who has beat the corners in? Any pics? Suggestions?

33's?

 

[Fatdrew]

Yeah. 33-12.50

Are you running a lift? Titian swapped?

Either way I recommend cutting a little bit with shears or some sort of cut off wheel/dremel. Bending back or up works, but to me is less attractive to the eyes.

Here is a pic of how I bent and cut mine when I had 33's. I would prefer to just cut without bending if I had to do it again. Don't mind the sharpie.

A cut like this (green line) would do it and look good too. You have to cut the bottom out of the liners anyway.

I’ve got a 2” BL, and I cranked the torsions up some. It’s an 01, no titan swap. Thanks for the pics.

I'll have to dig through my old pictures. But if memory serves, I cut a straight curve all the way back to the tub and then trimmed the inside of the plastic trim with a razor knife to match. That way I could reinstall that piece of plastic instead of having the plastic holes in the body behind the wheel well.

Someone has to get used to having 1st gen trucks on the site. Hehehe

I didn't cut, just banged them in with a BFH as the title of your thread suggests.

Got me! Guilty has charged.

Thanks, I think that may be the route I go after trimming the plastic and washing the dirt out of that little corner, there is plenty of trimmable/smashable metal there
