at work we're going to be selling some tube fenders for the TJ soon. Honestly I also think the flatfender TJ's look like ass. We had one on the lot that we haven't been able to sell for about 4 months now, but today they pulled it in back and bolted up a normal front clip so it will sell.
Various pics of tube and hacked fenders on TJs.

I agree, that kinda looks like ass. Tube much mo betta
So, its unanimous, you are only allowed to mess with your fenders if you tube them. Period.
They don't look too bad on the bigger trail rigs but not to sexay on the smaller jeeps, to each his own...it’s your jeep. If you do it though take your time and cut a little less than you want. Go back with an angle grinder to smooth everything out and get it to where you want it. When I cut my front and rear open I used masking tape but the sawzall just tore it off. Just mark on the body with a black sharpie.
Its going to be allot easier to mangle up your fenders once you cut them since that outer lip gives them allot of support, that’s why I'm eventually going to do tube fenders up front.
Non-tubed looks like ****. Tube em.
I think I am just going to wait untill I have the time to tube them, so that I can cut them to match the tube. While sitting in traffic today, I decided that on my jeep, that flatfenders would just look like a hack job, while tube would look much more profesional
not to be to rude but i think both kinds look like pooo.
im with the frick on this one... keep the fenders trim as little off as possible... it looks bad to have little tires and too much room not filled up with tire
I agree on that one, I am looking for a solution besides more bumstop to keep my front tires from rubbing when I flex. I think I am just going to take a grinder to the seam inside the fender tht they rub on.
Like mine with the chopped fenders and 35s. They wouldn't have been chopped off so fast but the recovery after laying it over was a little harsh :DQuote:

beat the seam down instead of trimming it, if you can. Seams hold things together
