fitting defender arches to a Rangie

(1/3) > >>

oakeedokee:
Does anyone have any advice for me before I take the jigsaw to the bobtail (such as "don't do it")? I reckon on chopping about an inch at the lowest point and then cutting radial lines about 3/4" long and bending back to make a lip. I'm trying to make a bit more room for the 265/75R16 Dirt Devils before they completely mangle the arches.

Paul:
I went for 235/85 MT's on my bobtail but
on atriculation they touched the back of
the rear wheel arch.

This photo shows the standard arch.

Paul:
This photo shows what it looked like after
I took the jigsaw to it and removed the
bottom part of the arch off all four wheel
archs. (About 1" all round)

Paul:
These are the bits of archs that were removed.

Paul:
This is one of the finished archs trimed with
mini rubber knock on sill trim.

235/85 fitted and never had them catch.
It's on a 2" lift BTW.
