With my spacers it rubs slightly on the pinchweld at full lock. I'm gonna pound it tomorrow, I'm trying to think of a more proper fix that just spraying the area with flat black rustoleum after I cut and pound.

they make this rust fix stuff in a spray can. Goes on clear but when it hits bare metal it drys black. Claims to prevent rust and stop rust that has already started. I have some in my garage at home. Works really well.

I'm thinking of cutting pieces of some left over big truck mud flaps, some autobody putty, a little sanding, spray the putty black, hmm.

I used a piece of mud flap and some small self tapping screws to cover mine.

Couple coats of rustoleum black followed by a few coats of spray on bedliner coating. It is a few years old now and looks like it could use a touch-up but holding up fine. Of course YMMV in harsher climates w/ snow, rain, salted roads, etc.

I cut the plastic so as to make a flap that would lay back down after the pinch was pounded
I then got some 2 part 5 min. epoxy
applied the epoxy lay the flap down and used a self drilling screw to hold flap while epoxy dries
remove both screws and fill holes with more epoxy

I painted with primer, then black, then bedliner. Then I used roofing/flashing cement (roofiing caulk basically in a tube at home depot) and I cut up one of those thin plastic $1 3 ring binders (not the ones with cardboard only plastic) and slid it behind the fender well liner, and glued it with the roofing cement.

I did mine and well Sean 150s as well and we just cut a V shape over the pinch weld heated it up bent it up, beat the pinch weld down, heated the V shaped piece up and folded it back down over and "melted " everything
together and then sprayed undercoating over it all, plus undercoating on the pinch weld before we covered it back over

There are lots of other manufacturers that sell the same stuff. Very goo-ey, matches the wheel well and works great.

I really need to look under my Jeep for once. I have no idea what this "pinch weld" issue is :roll: .

Anyone have a before and after pic?
