  • Front fenders turned out great. Back ones are more difficult and now I'll be able to make them even more custom from my mess up!

    No Tool Guard?! Never had a disk prematurely explode on you I guess. I had my guard on and luckily none of the shrapnel hit my face. Scary shit.

    That damn uni-body construction in the rear is quite challenging to overcome. I've been mulling over different options and watching as many videos as I can find. You're right, most videos don't really show just how all the various panels of sheet metal all come together in a complex way in the rear wheel well/fender area.

    You can actually cut into the door, most people get scared to go farther than the door line but you can actually keep cutting a little more. All that is still “soft mettle” easy to work with and looks clean when it’s done, anything fatter than that you get into “hard metal” and that stuffs just so much more work. So you can still save it! Just gotta cut a little into the door. It’ll look kinda funky when you’re doing it but after it’s done it looks clean and you have a lot more flex clearance

      Just weld it up! with small tack welds use air hose to keep your Temps down to prevent worpage when welding and then silicone when done to fill any water Leake pin holes you will get it just take your time bud 😉

      @@OverlandingOzarks pretty much just how the other guy said , get tha insolation out and cleaned up and you can do the tack welds. Instead of silicone I’ve seen some people fully weld it shut but you’ll have to decide on that once your down in there

      @@OverlandingOzarks yeah you have a point. 35s are pretty big. Mine had a 4 inch short arm with 31- 10.50s no trimming bfg mud terrains offset wheels and it rubbed. But I actually think when your done and clean it up it will look unique and really cool. You see that look on some rigs with long arms and big tires where even though they cut out they cut out a little extra on the back fenders. I think it will be cool. Enjoy your channel and the journey! You seem like a nice guy

  • @LOSTXPLAYGUN
    @LOSTXPLAYGUN 2 роки тому +4

    Solid work and yes its a learning experience. I would like to see you wear some gloves while using the grinder though. That cutoff wheel will go straight through a finger, especially without the guard.

    • @OverlandingOzarks
      @OverlandingOzarks  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, I'm working on better safety practices. I finished up the rears in another video and it turned out great!

    • @dawabbitt3079
      @dawabbitt3079 2 роки тому +2

      I agree with BlackOpsOutdoors and there is also some footage where you're sanding the rough edges without any eye protection, either? Even with safety glasses on, I've gotten metal shavings in my eye 3 times. Having to go to the eye doctor and have the area ground out is not a pleasurable experience. These days I use safety glasses / goggles combined with a full face safety mask when I'm grinding or heavy sanding on metal.

      @xmo552 2 роки тому

      I always prefer the no glove technique when making love to my ride, but alas... you should see how many scars I've got due to disc breakage. When they go they take a chunk o' finger with them and you never even feel it nor realise until you see the blood dripping. I've been VERY fortunate to not lose a finger or eyeball. I'm sure your lady would appreciate you possessing all your digits one way or another. 🖖😁

    Looks good on the front. I need to do the same on my WJ. Do you have the drivers side rear figured out? I have the evap mounted down behind the drivers rear tire. I used the spot under the hood for a windshield washer tank.
