Whoops :lol:

Went through a few feet of water, came out on the other side and heard some crazy rubbing. I think what had happen was I hit some hidden ruts under the water and between the water pressing on the fender well plastic and hitting the rut (or whatever, coulda been dead body lol) the tire ripped off the inner plastic and pulled the flare off with it. The fender well was under the tire and the flare was barely hangin on by one clip, luckily only one clip broke off so it should be easy to snap back on. We were seriously maybe a 1/4 mile into the trail. Zip tied the ABS sensor wires up out of the way and we were back on our way.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water! :D

I hope it didn't ruin your day of wheeling.

My first incident ever with the KK was actually getting stuck in 3' of water. :(
Its all good though. Still had a blast. Took my buddy on some trails for his first time. He just got new tires on his XJ today and wanted to have some fun. Now he wants a lift and the Jeep Fever has taken over. :lol:

Its all good. Fender snapped into place just fine. The fender well liner is a little jacked up but it was beforehand.

A first in deed :shock: . Glad to hear it was only a matter of clipping it back. Good to see it was an easy fix. It does look pretty scary though.
Wow, I think you can fit bigger tires now + no fender rub LOL :lol:

What kind of bumper mount is that with the winch? I like it! Is it custom?

Also, if you guys ever need some odd parts such as clips and such let me know. I got a guy that all he does is fixes KK's and Kj's. He gets me all my parts for a good price.
