cutting front fender wells..

alright i looked and looked but couldnt find so im gonna ask .. can i cut the front fenderwells out with my 4in cutoff wheel and not have to put some kind of 1/2 bracing because the fender wells are gone.. and does any body have a pic of a a fuel injected b2200 under the hood so i can have an idea where to put all the stuff when i take out the fender wells.. thanks for any info...

how big are your wheels?

16 inch yukon chrome rims and im gonna run a 45 or 50 series tire.. i cut off the bump stops and there brackets.. and i have the izuzu shocks and hit fender real bad.. had it tucking about an inch of tire.. since i got the new shocks i had to lift the front about three inches over the wheel so it wont hit the inside fender well.. looks dumb lol

i cut just enough out of my wheelwells for my wheels/tires to fit. theres basically squares cut out of both sides of my fender wells. im tucking a good 3 inches of tire

where did you relocate all the things that were on the fender well.. do you have any pics or can you post some?? would be greatly appreciated..

my trucks at my buddy's shop. i'll take some next time im there. either tomorrow or monday most likely. moved the battery to the bed. moved the big vaccuum canister(think thats what it is) down on the top of the frame rail. hell i cant even remember what else was up there. plus yours will be different cus you have efi where i had carb. post a pic of yours and ill see if i can help you out. take a bunch from diff angles and zoom in/out pics so i can see size and location of components.

ok cooli will post some up asap probly tommorow.. thanks for the help man... there are so manywires that dont belong in there from old alarms and stereo systems and my key doesent start the truck there is a button that turns it on ...weird lol need to get one of those manuels that show all the wiring so i can clean the mess up...

too bad i dont have a scanner. i have a haynes manual with the wiring diagrams...but no way to show you. i could try to take a pic with my cell phone haha but i think it would be blurry. if i remember correctly my truck has a wiring harness that comes out of the firewall that runs down the underside of the fender jamb. theres like 3 or 4 plugs right near the firewall that dont connect to anything. then theres a few circuit breakers then goes up front. that didnt have to move. the only problem was the few connectors in the back. but me being a lazyaSS didnt cut them off. just let them drag on the tires lol

lol yea i have been looking to do this for so long but every time i open the hood to look at it i see all that shitty mess and i shut the hood and open a beer..lol times is tough and i dont want to cut something i need and have to drive my diesel to work $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just keep in mind the more you cut out, the more you expose your engine bay to the elements. My advice (from someone who cut theirs and learned the hard way) is cut the entire wheel well where it meets the inner fender. Move it up to where you need and mark it off. Trim the inner fender below that and use a hammer and grinder to smooth it out. Then re-attach the wheel well to it's new home. The izusu below my name was running 15" pathy's with 45 series rubber and the fronts rubbed a bit when I aired out just the front. By moving my wheel wells up 3", I got rid of all my rubbing issues. Relocating stuff is pretty easy once you start. Just do one component at a time. The wheel well also makes a nice mounting point for stuff, unless you want to spend the extra change and extend wires and do a nice wire-tuck.

Just take my advice, I pulled mine out, moved stuff, then ended up putting them back in as I described above and moving stuff again. I got tired of my motor getting filthy and I had a rock pop up and get in my alternator belt... chewed the belt and put a nasty sharp mark on the pulley.
