Hacking.....what hacking? I used a ruler and everything!
Sorry to hear about the front fender. Finding metal for these trucks isn't that hard. Heck, most of that would come off if you bobbed the forward edge like I did.
If you do stretch the fenders, don't forget to add an inch in the front instead of an even sectioning job. I did 6" in the rear (3"front/3"rear from a center line), this worked really good for the 39s. In the front I ended up going 3" behind the tire and 5" in front ( an inch too far if you ask me ). I would do a 3"R/4"F sectioning job on the front. Good news is that my tires don't rub on sheet metal even when pushed pretty hard in Moab.
The hardest dang thing about it is getting the front inner fenders to match up. I did the front right side for the air cleaner, but it turned out rough.
Good luck...post pics!
