Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im at the stage where i need to chop the guard to minimise tyre damage to my 35" tyres. In the front i want to virtual lift it but want the front section to be cut straight towards the headlight bucket.

Can anyone who has done this mod to accomade 35's post up a pic so i can steal an idea.

Cheers

i have sceen alot of options... just no pics!
check RBZOOK's build...
isnt marks zook like that?

to be quite honest i couldnt tell you as i wasnt really interested in virtual lifting it when i had the 31's on. But now i need clearance.

RBZooks build has dissappeard. someone on here might still have the pics though...

EDIT: toysuzi did a sweet guard chop job on stumped's suzuki... his pics seem to have disappeard from the thread though. Maybe pm stumped see if he has them or pm toysuzi directly...

had a go at chopping front guard and holly shit did i open up a can of worms. Did not plan properly and now i have to come up with a plan to fill some massive gaps.

Good thing metal is so forgiving.

im hearing ya buddy, im in the same boat. luckly i only done one side

Sanger, save some time, and get rid of the inner guards altogether like I did recently Heaps easier to do everything and a lot more functional

u got pics??
im guessing u got a LWB so do i would be a big help to see what you have done

Hey Mark post up some pics of your handy work. Could be a good option as at the moment it looks like i have to add pieces back on which defeats the purpose of the cut.

Pm me you mobile so i can rack your brain.

Also may be a stupid question but is removing inner fenders legal??? Already attract attention from the fuzz so dont want to give them a reason to defect me.

i imagine things would get awful messy if you had to go through any soggy stuff though?...

Yea but just give it a good wash down and it will be right. Plus stay away from mud

just make tube front flairs that come out from under the bonet and have no front guards at all like most of the promod cars have then make a small tube inner guard frame and line it with rubber

This is almost impossible to answer. The inner guards on a sierra aren't structural (That's the official word from an engineer) but that doesn't mean it's permissible to remove them either.

The engineer on Greg's build was very specific about how the inner guards and wheeltubs were to be built. (The rears ended up fabricated and the fronts stock but moved up 1"

The problem is, what is "legal" has nothing to do with what the cops can defect you for.

I have seen a car with swampers get a warning for no speed rating, but no mention was made of no inner guards. If the officer couldn't find something obvious, the search would be on, and you can't argue with what they call - if they say no inner guards are a fail as a structural modification, then you're stock with it.

IMHO pulling the inner guards is a PITA. you end up with nowhere to mount anything, the guards get super loose and floppy, the belts and hoses get more vulnerable (the whole engine bay is more susceptible to damage) for me, it's not about the legality, , just what's practical.

simple...
cut out your inner guards as i have done..
then make some new ones out of checker, rubber or what ever u want relly!!!
