I need to see some pics or a wright up on how to cut and fold the rear fenders, like where to cut, I also am going to trim my front fenders, so what is the cleanest way to do that, jig saw, grinder with cutoff wheel, or can I cut and fold the front. I am going to be running 31's on 2in . Thanks. micah

The edge molding you can get at Advance Auto Parts. It's just door edge trim. Cut and fold in the back is pretty straight forward. You just make some relief cuts between the spot welds up to the "flare out" portion of the metal, and pound the tabs up and in. I used a ball peen hammer, the rounded end worked well for forming them tightly once they were folded up all the way.

If you have access to an air nibbler, it's the way to go. Smooth easy cuts all along the jeep. The relief cuts in the back turn out nice too...they're wide enough that they don't bind while folding.

Here's a decent write up...I haven't looked to see if someone else linked it already though -
