Since I moved my axle forward for a longer wheelbase, I never had to worry about the pinch seam in the front wheel well cutting up my 33″ tires. However, with plans of 36″ tires in the near future, I decided it was finally time to take care of that pinch seam.
This job is pretty simple, but I figured I’d make a tech article about it because I know there are plenty of people out there who like to see pictures before jumping into a project. Basically all that you need is some kind of cut-off wheel and a hammer. That’s it.
Start off by making some cuts in the pinch seam.
After the cuts are done, all you have to do is take your trusty hammer, and pound the pinch seam over
That’s it. I was lazy and didn’t shoot any spray paint on it, but if you are worried about rust, it might be a good idea.
