Dubaibentzen's build of Polar Bear

[Dubaibentzen]

Decided I wanted angled edges on the aft fenders as well. Very happy so far with the outcome.

Used the "r" in the wrangler sticker as a reference for the angle in the front

Sweet rig buddy!

Next was a Powertank PT10. No shops sell them in Dubai and I could not get the rollbar clamps. So I decided to get it fixed to the floor and the frame. A few nutserts helped and a homemade piece of wood to lift the bracket about an inch.

That's gonna look great! Can't wait to see them!

Me too. Now that I've looked closely at my Rubicon decal, I think it's actually burgundy instead of red. But let's see. If it looks crap, I'll just order a new set.

Sweet rig buddy!

Thanks catahoula.

Recieved the EVO offset license plate light mount today. Not sure if I really want this or something else since my winch is actually not offset, but centered. Let's see.

I had to move the license plate to the right to make it fit to the center from the grill. I'm okay with this for now, but I think if I want to add lights later, I have to come up with an idea because they will all be shifted left of center. Got a traffic fine the other day, because my license plate was in my window... So the plate has to be there some way or another. Maybe a flip bracket later.

Finished the cutting of the fenders and installed a couple of side marker lights. Found them at a local auto store. Super easy to fit. Drill, insert, tighten, connect wires, done.

Tomorrow it's fun time again with a nice offroading trip with my buddies to Fossil Rock, Dubai. This time there should be no rubbing after cutting the fenders. Hard top is off, half doors on.

Think they make one that is centered also.

Fender cuts came out awesome, good job :thumb:

Great build! Are those 33" tires? Also, what did you use to cut the fenders?

Really? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. If you can send me a link, that would be awesome :thumb:

Thanks hinrichs. It was fun cutting and hacking away on my almost new car. :yup:
The edge trim I bought was very bad quality, so I will look for another brand. It was all broken. At the moment running without edge trim, but I think the edge is a bit too sharp. Think I might go with a black edge trim...

Yes, they are 33x12.5x17 Discoverer Cooper STTs.
Mostly I used a jigsaw and then a dremel for the tight places. Then a sawzall for the bigger plastic stuff underneath the fenders. And finally a fine file. I watched this youtube video a few times and he explaines it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_rH0A8Y4I4

It looks great! I got a great deal on some slabs and I'm trying to decide between 33s or 35s.

I may have been wrong and was seen the one for the Pro Series bumpers instead of the 1/4 pounder.
