- 2008 Jeep Wrangler JKU Stock fender flare flat mod/ cut in an hour and $0 (unless you buy the trim)
After installing my 35” tires, I only have a 2” lift and they looked a little tight to the fender flares, so I looked up online how much they would cost to get a set of flat fender.. WOW, they are $400 and up for a decent set, so I said NOPE and started looking online if there was a way to shave the stock fenders, sure enough there was and there are many ways to do them, some take them totally off, cut them and reinstall which takes a whole afternoon! I decided to cut them on the Jeep since it held them pretty secure for the cuts and the only thing I ended up having to take out was the inner wells to shave them down.
I love the look and the price. Gives the tires another 2” clearance for articulation. So in about an hour you can do this job with just a minimal set of tools. Jig saw, 10 TPI blades, saws-all, screwdriver and some sandpaper. 20' of trim molding I added later to give it a more finished look.

Wow. Looks like someone took a jigsaw to your Jeep.
Worried I might get drunk and try this.
subbed because of the opening. 10/10

Great job on the fenders. That’s a gutsy move to start cutting as those are really expensive to replace :-)
I love the way you just went full send and started cutting, looks great!
loved the tpb references best show of all time
jesse robertson Agreed! deeeecent
They look great. I also have the painted fenders and have been looking to see if anyone has cut them - like they do the stock black fenders. I also like that you left the curved lip on the stock fenders. I guess that it is time to break out the jigsaw for myself.
👍👍👍🔥 some love it, some hate it. I love it!
If I had a channel, that's how I would start off every video. "What's up fuckers" hahaha
LeBron HD LMAO.. Depends on my mood I guess :)
Most folks woulda put tape on the fender to protect it. MotoCheez cut that sh** like a boss. Sharpie line freestyle. Nice work brother.
Ward Atwell you're right, but I always tape the bottom plate on my jig saw, the paint didn't splinter or chip. I trimmed it too .. TY!
This video is awesome. Love all the humor! A jigsaw made very quick work of that. Nice job! 👌🏼
CRAWL TV TY, I get some hate for cutting my scratched fenders. Lol. no different than if I replaced them with aftermarket and threw the stockers our. I love the look and price of my cut ones!
CRAWL TV Hey, I just realized I've watched a few of your videos too! I like your style also. thanks for the compliment!!
Hey, man... if you were gonna chunk them anyways then who cares how you cut them! If you're wheeling it and tucking those 35s in, they're going to get beat up, regardless.
That's awesome that you've seen our videos! We're actually sitting out back on our porch editing right now. We're small timers on the TH-cam, but we have fun with it! 😎
CRAWL TV I was also just editing, I also enjoy doing them! if you're ever upstate NY, near CT look me up. I have a few good places to wheel.
Well hell ya! At time 7:14, those sure do look store bought! LOL! You're just killing me MOTO; in a good way!
🔥🔥🔥👍😄
A typical Jeeper style mod! Great vid.
+nathan ma TY!
did you have to worry about side markers for inspection if so how did you work around that issue? thanks for the video its exactly what I was looking for. Have a 12 Altitude wrangler with painted fenders and wanted to see how it would look versus the matt black everyone else has. I love keeping the roll too.
Brian Mazor I didn't replace the markers, but was going to use a small amber LED under the fender. yes, I kept the roll for strength and so mud don't fling... thanks!
You are man handling the fuck out of those liners. Love it!
🤣👍
Looks awesome. Great job.
+nyc_jeep_wrangler thanks, people either love it or hate it. Lol
"What's up fuckers" lol. Now that's the kind of talk I'm used to.
+sublime929 Fucken aye!!
I mentioned "Motocheez" about 5 times in my last video... so that's 5 keytags right? haha! Love the video. Love that you do all sorts of videos on all sorts of vehicles. Keeps things interesting
TexasMoto Haha, TY!! how about 2 key tags? I'll have to check it out, send me your name and address.
I was just kidding about the 5 keytags haha! I will take one though! I'll send you my address on Instagram
TexasMoto I know! And I tried to get a good sample but it wasn't a shoutout, I think it will work though
I'll get you a better one today
TexasMoto 👍🏼👍🏼
Well I'm our Jeep now belongs on an episode of fucking Trailer Park Boys. But hey. Cheeseburgers and liquor right.
Keith Freeman it's the way she goes boys, the way she goes!
What about turning lights. Isn't it illegal without lights
The side light is a marker light, turn signals in the grille.
So no need for wheel spacers with the 2 inch wider tire? Think it would not give enough clearance without the lift? Thanks good video.
Hmmm I might need spacers if putting on snow chains?
Only time the tire rubs is full turns. The knobs barely hit the swaybar
Looks good. 👍👍👍
awesome !!!! And looks as good ( or BETTER! ) than anything aftermarket! I am adding this to my "proven how-to " playlist. :-D
Also, would be cool if someone came up with a paper template for this mod. Could just lay the template over the fenders, trace it out, cut out the lines.
Would save many from making errors on measuring / marking lines. And the template could be sold for like $20. Now not a "free" mod, but wayyyyyyyyy less than the $400+ for aftermarket fenders! lol
COYOTE ADVENTURES yeah. I was very happy with the outcome. I also wondered why someone has not sold the templates. Hmm. Kaching!!
I'm thinking about getting the rugged ridge hurricane fender flares for my TJ and they are $350, not sure how much for the JK but I know they make them.
Now that I've seen the difference in how trimming them makes the jeep look taller I think I need them more now.
AceInvader they're a few hundred more for the JK. With the lift I have I like the look. Best part is if I didn't like it I'd just but the aftermarket.
MotoCheez Thats the same mentality I have, I'm thinking about spraying mine with rustoleum bedliner. Its not too rough but it might match my bumper better. And it helps justifying buying more stuff if it doesn't work lol.
AceInvader good idea. I love the way they came out. Been wheeling all over. No rub!!
MotoCheez That means its time for 37s!
AceInvader haha. If I lift it more. I have stock rims with no spacers so the tires do rub at full turn on the sway bar.
Arrogant ,!!
Respect your audience !!!
What grit sandpaper did you use , ohh and I have that same jigsaw
Jason Artiga I used 100 grit sandpaper. Haha, no way. I've had that jigsaw for almost 15 years
Jumped with cables
Great job! Wood or metal 10 tpi blades?
I used a 14 bimetal
hey is that still going on I have a dirt bike channel and I was wondering if I give you a shout out if I can get a free key tag
GRG Gaming yes, send me the link and your address through message. here, instagram or Facebook
Looks ok, but it was still a very hard video to watch. I cringe at the very thought of taking saw to my jku.
Sani Bravo it took a little courage, but I saw it gets do it before. plus I off-road a lot, not afraid if scratches etc. which the flares were already beat up a little.
Awesome
Black hawk down, need private consulting moto cheez, no spark, new Cdi, spark plug, ignition coil / no spark with a jump from a truck?
SB \-_-/ message me in Instagram
Any thoughts? Could it be magneto? Won't kick either
SB \-_-/ no spark? From the spark plug? Test it?
MotoCheez no, it is new, but no multimeter
SB \-_-/ so key is on, kill switch is on, you crank the motor over with plug out and grounded to the motor and there is no spark from plug?
Even a carpenter can do this job hahah
Hahaha. YES!!
Now put some 38s
Not on these axles. 😁
just how drunk are you Lahey???? I'm an 8 out of 10 Ricky!!!!!
👍👍👍😄😄😄😄🔥🔥
Greeeeease
That's the way she goes boys...
Buys 20K plus dollar wrangler. Buys nice set of brand new 35" tires. Cheaps out on fender flares and performs an absolute hack job on the stockers. I just don't get the mindset.
transamman305 because I don't want a bigger lift, offset rims or spacers, and every aftermarket fender flair set I like are too wide or too narrow and not worth $600 plus. I love the way it looks, I've brushed up against trees with them, they flex. I'd do it again, stock set of flair are cheap if I wanted to go back.
All said and done it looks ok. I just figure with all the aftermarket options there's got to be something out there that looks nice and fits with the tire size. I own a TJ and they make every size flare in existence. Stockers are 3.75", rubi flares are 4.75", theres 6" and even 7" options. I would have kept the stock painted flares in nice shape and just got a set of take off non painted flares to modify. Either way, your jeep and your choice. Whatever works for ya!
transamman305 I know what you're saying. I guess I should have pointed out the extensions were pretty stuffed up to start with. the jeep was abused before I bought it. I did look or something aftermarket but didn't see anything I liked, then saw other people are doing this so said, what the he'll! lol
*scuffed
Point is they don't look hacked. Some people aren't allergic to money and wouldn't mind holding on to some.
Deeeecent lol
👍👍😁
wtf
first view!!!
roachsteve you even beat me!
why would you mess up your fenders. that it is ugly as hell. Sad you had so much free time on your hands. I will never fk mine up
Imanueali Nassem matter of opinion I guess, a lot of people do it for articulation clearance. buy or make them after installing big tires. I think it looks badass.
+Stroke Survivor Outdoors some people have pavement queens, never go off-road, not even a scratch. Might as well buy a Subaru hehe
MotoCheez I call those grocery getters
I think it looks alright unless you have black fenders and a white or bright body color below/behind it. Then it looks pretty stupid. This doesn't look bad at all. Worst case, you butcher it and buy some replacements. I'm sure there are lots of stock ones out there to practice on that people have removed and replaced.
Rob Estees that's how I feel, I would have ripped the stock ones off a dozen times already. These hanging on good still.
Should a bought a Humvee. What a waste.
