Yeah? that's awesome, glad to have helped.

They're going to rub pretty bad I think, and the plastic trim on the Jimmy's is only going to make it worse too.

Good luck with it.

not too much rubbing on the street - over curbs ect. off road might be different. i expected it to be worse with the 33X12.5. i hacked the rear of the front fender to be flush with the firewall. i need to rivet the fenderwell to the firewall and bend it under more. rubs the frame at full lock. and cut the rear bumper end caps to make a straight cut down.
