Glad I saw this. The sawzall made quick work of that metal. I was about to use a grinder and cutting wheel. I’m definitely going to spend more time on the fender liner however.

From the factory, my 2006 WK had the 235 size tires & they were okay but when I'd look at my Jeep from an angle or further away after exiting a store, those 235's looked abit too small for the 4,500lbs the damn thing weighed. So, I went up to the 245's. Definitely better grip on the road with those and I didn't have to use any spacers or anything.
@Sumaxc4 жыл бұрын
Yeah I agree. 235s are wayyyyy to skinny of a tire. Especially on the 5.7

44.. Harbor freight has a tool. and to take them out just drill them out. I would put the plastic retainer clips in to hold it. that is what I have in mine and they work just fine

I did the pinch weld on my jeep since I am running 265/70/17 but I did not cut the fender weld, I see it does rub on plastic when making u-turns only, a little rub on plastic ain't got to hurt or damage tires I think. plus I might do a u-turn maybe 4-5 times a year...

i cringed when i watched you painting so close to that uncovered wheel. i've been painting for 30 years and definitely would have had that tire and wheel covered up.

No doubt.....then he says he's going to wait until it dries. Guess he must have waited 5 days as that's how long it would take that thick. What a sloppy looking finish....then he actually cuts the wheel well so it shows....lol.

Does the liner come out easy after removing the rivets? I need to replace the O2 upstream sensor on a WK and this seems like the only way to access it, the upstream sensor on the other side is a mf also. After 100k these sensors are done, the heater usually goes bad first then it triggers codes because its not going into closed loop fast enough and might also drop out at idle.
@TheDavisRanch14 жыл бұрын
It’s easy, you can get the kit that comes with new rivets at harbor freight. Or you can get standard nylon push retainers on amazon or at your local auto parts store. Good luck!

I’m sorry, I re-read your question and realized that I didn’t really answer what you were asking. I drilled out the old rivets, from what I remember the liner came out pretty easily after those were out. Luckily I never had any issues with my O2 sensors, I did have to replace my coils at 150k though.

@@TheDavisRanch1 Thanks, its best to change them at 100k especially the upstream sensors as they control air/fuel ratio. They wear like spark plugs and response will lag over time lowering mpg. $25 each on walmart.com.

You should also clean everything with soap water and maybe rubbing alcohol before any kind of paint or sealer, while you're taking the time to do this it only hurts to cut corners. I would have done before even cutting/folding the weld. Take no chances with rust here in Atlantic Canada
