what seems to have taken you little to no time at all to do, just took me all afternoon haha. I didn't cut as many tabs, I guess thats why it was harder to do. Only had to do the rears since previous owner already cut the fronts so thats all that was left to install the flares I need for inspection. Just waiting for the bedliner to cure now. Thanks for sharing how you do it.

@JeepXJ8895 10 ай бұрын

I appreciate the feedback from your experience. Glad this video was helpful as well. The smaller width the tabs - the easier they are to fold over.

You could cut the spot welds only if you have a welder to close the gap. I plan on doing that for the extra clearance

I would never do that. All those cuts you made are going to rust!

@JeepXJ8895 2 жыл бұрын

It's all in how you go about it, I've done nothing but a coat of basic rattle can bedliner every year and it's still as solid as the day I cut them. Granted this jeep is no longer driven on Michigan's salty roads in the winter so its actual exposure to the elements are limited.

how would you go about fixing a jeep if somebody already cut the fuck out of the rear wheel well welds and its open lol.

@JeepXJ8895 4 жыл бұрын

When I see one that cut up I dont see a turning back for repairs. It can be done, just depends on how much effort you wanna put into it and how good you are at body work. If i were to go for it though I'd start with the whole wheel well and outside panel from another jeep and go from there about stitching it in.

You could also reconstruct your wheel wells instead of trying to make it factory again. Maybe I can enlighten your situation in the video with some lose explanation. I guess we'll see

Where did you get the muffler? everywhere I go it says it won't fit

@Jeep19XJ91 10 жыл бұрын

All you need is a center inlet, offset outlet. Factory exhaust size is 2 1/4. You can go up to a 2.5 inch but then you will need a larger tailpipe which can get in the way of stuff and you will need an adapter for before the muffler. FLO-942447 is the part number through summit racing for the muffler you need if you decide to stay 2.25 inch pipe

@Md55Mark55Md The body is a Proline Racing 1/10th body... they are maybe $30 now?? but as far as paint... i used some basic rc body paint (Red for the body, then black for the trim pieces) then some spray bedliner on the outside of the body (lower portion of the doors). I'm not all that familiar with the redcat but the body's are very universal so if its a 1/10th scale i'm sure you could make it work. And thanks for the Comment btw
