O.K. now that the pic finally posted. Note that thefender flarebehind the front tires, now overlaps the door. this is from cutting the wheel well out to accomidate the bigger tires. No one can tell unless I point it out.

Why did you have to cut your truck up? It doesn't look thatbad but from the way your picture looks it doesnt look like you had to mess with anything or cut anything out to get the tires to fit..

Like I said in the post. By cuttinig the front fender on the back side it gave me an extra 1-3/4" of room between the tire and the fender. It actually centered the tire in the opening. You can't tell that I did the deed, But if you put my truck next to a stock power wagon and intentionally look at this location you will notice the difference. I personally think it was brilliant. I did not compromise any structure or asthetics by doing this. I also did not have to put a radical/ expensive lift to fit the tires. To me the ride is awsome, and I don't see any difference in performance.I am not a lead foot so my everday street driving feels the same. My off roading is mostly in mud in 4 low. with the low range in the mud I am kicking *** and taking names !!!!! I highly reccomend this mod. The biggest draw back is the over $1,500.00 it cost for tires (ouch).

That took alot of *****. Nice job.
I thought I would photoshop how much metal he cut off his fenders.

Thanks Mystro.
Last night I saw a stock 06 power wagon. I had to park next to it and get a pic. Too bad there was a car parked between us. This wil give a little bit of a feel for the difference in the look.When I get a little free time I will take off the fender flare and post a pic of the minor fender operation.
