Yep I'm based here at Ft Irwin till dec. then going to Irac. But original from Mi. I have to make the fender wider to cover the tires at least the same amount the oringaly did which was 16 inches. I have full size axles under my jeep if i did the standard type tube fender the WHOLE tire would be out side the jeep. the police don't like that for some reason???75 blazer + 81 CJ-7 + 90 Wrangler = Tonka Jeep Dave

Dave,
Looking good. I'm glad you have a new project. Too bad I can't maintain my duties as "shop boy".
I understand about the requirement for the width of the fenders, but, they look really wide. I'll wait for the final picture before I say yea or nea.
Later bro!

So how's the project coming? What'd up?
Been meaning to tell you something, not related to this post, but you don't receive public Jeep recognition in a modified XJ compared to a modified CJ. Leads me to find a way to keep the CJ in the family. However, the bad end of that thought is if that happened, I may not have a family anymore. Hmmmm, decisions!
