Well starting yesterday, well actually when i first put my 33's on a month or so ago, I have needed to finish my rear wheelwells because of trimming the pinch seam away my rear cargo area was soaked. And it was just annoying to have a have-a$$ed job done. So yesterday i sat and pondered for a bit and decided to get out the tools..... Tin snips, screw drivers, plyers, a couple different size pry-bars, and a couple hammers.

Now, i know i probably should have had some proper tools for the job, but it was spur of the moment type thing and i ran outta good metal blades for the sawz-all. So this is what happened......

Here are progress pictures for the other side that i did today. I also went and bought some new sawz-all blades for this side. I didn't think about a camera yesterday, but thought i would today....
Here is the passenger side...

Finished product. :dance:
You cant really tell (besides the wet spot) but i truck-bed coated from the top body line down to the rockers. Should hold up nice to scratches.

Pic sucks cause it was pretty much dark when i got done.
Now i have to figure out what to do with the top half of the jeep.....The bottom looks so nice and the rest doesn't. So if you have any suggestions please shout them out!!

Comp cut them like this. It's super easy with the right tools. 3-4 cuts and fold up and tack weld/rivet/self-tapping screw it up tight.

I also sprayed expanding foam on the inside seams in the wheel well just to seal it off good.
