Looks good you'll be ready for 35's in no time. Don't forget to fold over the pinch welds they will eat your tires in nothing flat.

About time! Capndave thats how you cut up the front of a Cherokee. Tab, on the back if you cut IN BETWEEN the pinch welds you don't have to do anything with a BH, plus it looks classy. Lay some protecto trim down and you have a clean factory look.

Edit. Cut in between every hole in the body, and in turn you will still have some spot weld left, then you can line it with the protecto trim and it will look smooth like silk.
