Took the driver seat out and vacuumed the floor real good. I should have taken a before pic, but it was disgusting. Now I get to decide how i'm going to get these dirty soda(?) stains out from the previous owner.

Looks good! Does it rub? Mine did before I went to 4.5.

It rubs a bit when i turn all the way. I was going to trim up the fenders just enough where it wouldn't rub. Probably about an inch.

I trimmed a bit too, mostly very edge of the flare.

You wouldn't have any advice on how to do it correctly do you CNWXJ?

Try Resolve High-Traffic Foam and a stiff bristle brush. Spray it on and let it soak for a few minutes, then have at it. Should improve it quite a bit.

I'll give you some advice lol. I trimmed my flares when I sized up to 31s because they would rub whenever I'd pull into my driveway.

Basically what I did was take a razor knife and heat it with a torch for about a minute. Once the knife it heated up, you can cut through the flare like it's butter. I trimmed the bottom of the flare (where it meets the rocker panel area) completely off and removed the small bolt that once held it on. After it was all trimmed up... no more rubbing!

I only trimmed the flare so far. I have seen a lot of good write ups on it though. Do a google search for Cherokee fender trim. I think I'm going to do cut and fold in the rear for sure.

Well after a series of unfortunate events and luck, I've had to replace my front end - and in doing so I stumbled upon a cold air intake while at the pick and pull. Best 20 bucks I ever spent I'm not sure about running the truck without a bumper, but I sprayed it black under the grill and I think it looks really cool. Also had to trim the fenders so that they were the same height as the bottom of the grill without the bumper. Oh and wheel spacers and removed fender flares. Too much stuff haha. Pics below. Oh and I went and got it really muddy hehe. I'm keen to put another bumper on it and I've seen a few that guys have fabbed up here on the forums, preferably with a winch mount. Does anyone have specs and pictures that they might be able to throw my way?

pulled the air filter box and air filter out to clean it. wow, looked like it'd been dunked in a bucket of oil, even the filter has oil in it. wth would cause that? anyhoo, scrubbed it real good and left it to dry all night. now to get a new filter, and a friggin starter so i can drive her again. and (fingers crossed) hopefully pass inspecton so it'll be legal so i can move.

Looks great man! A little tip if you're gonna use a razor knife to trim... Make sure you're cutting away from you. You may or may not already be in the practice of it, but just in case you're not, ya know?
