Post pics of your trimmed firewall for 37s

I just want to make sure I cut enough enough. I've seen Outlaw's but I don't remember what exactly was done.

Thread subscribed. I'm about to install front fiberglass and 37"s... I wanna see this and get some tips for properly trimming up the rear end too.

just offroad it till the tires smash something. then cut the smashed part hahaha boom done.

naw, but you could always use a jack and jack the tire up as far as it will go (hitting bump stop) or until it hits what needs to be trimmed. that would work as well.

Mine is trimmed already. Just looking for pics of successful ones.

Here is a before and after of how we trim the firewall:

I wish I had taken pics when we (RPG and myself) did this at the Raptor Run but I did not. If anyone wants to PM me a number I will be more than happy to discuss in detail..

Thanks Raptizz, do you have any pics and/or explanation for what you did in the rear?

Believe it or not, I haven't even got around to having my guys trim the front or rear on my own rig. The pics I posted are of chrisandalex's truck and he was only running a Goodyear 35 but he did have some extreme offset wheels that made the tire rub like a mother...

Trimming the firewall is not a necessity, at least in my opinion and with my setup. I'm running 17" methods and 37" grabbers. I do rub on the front on full turns only when the front end is compressed. Nothing major though.

Regarding the rear, that pinch weld on the bedside seem is a damn guillotine but I don't think we get enough bump travel for that to pose a problem. I haven't had any issues back there but for piece of mind it is on my pending mod list.

Hope this helps you guys...

Is it possible to trim the fire wall and keep the stock front fenders with 37' tires on middle perch. Or does tire companies make something in between. The 35's just look so small.

Just to back up my claim. If the firewall were to pose a problem, I would have found out by now.
