    Show Us Your PINCH SEAMS!

    Trimmed? Bashed with a hammer?

    Push the axle back?

    What was your solution to the big tire conundrum?

    PICS!

    Black Betty's are cut.

    Funny story,

    They were cut in rausch creek PA. We were about to hit the trail, and someone told me i was risking the tires.

    I didnt like the sound of that, So out comes the dremel.

    Mine fresh cut and sharp edges filed. A bit of jb weld and then paint should do it!

    Anyone do this with a hammer?

    Im told you should bash them in, you preserve the integrity and keep moisture out.

    I've seen them hammered. Its not a clean look and I'm not convinced it does more to preserve integrity than JB Weld...which is very strong.

    Tonka is hammered. It looks fantastic. Might be the best pinch seam ever. Its very well bent in... You might think it was stock.

    Bent in and undercoated. (filthy in this pic)

    Did you do that with the wheel off? I can't imagine how you could get enough swing to bend it that much, unless the wheel came off. Is that a stock Ruby rail with another tube welded on it? or something aftermarket?

    Here's mine before removing the wheel liner and flattening my factory fenders. When my new lift comes in I will take the trim up a little further and make it a little nicer.

    FIRST POST!

    Welcome Buddy!

    Thats a well done pinch seam. I dont think you need to do anymore to it. I wouldnt cut too much body.
