The strengthened point should probably be the rear/outside edge of the light housing. The lens is good as is and if strengthened too much the clarity through the thickness could be effected. Ive had similar thoughts of making one that fit the body line and could then mount any oval light much like the fabricated ones some have made.

I would not doubt this of mine, It was an old farm truck by the original owner. Ill be redoing the engine next year no matter what but if the electric fan and fan shroud help for now it'd be great as I only use the truck for overlanding in the summer.

Not trying to hi-jack the thread from the original poster but, I'm having a similar issue. Overheats at longer idles ( stoplights, drive thru, traffic.......) while in motion it stays nice and cool. I noticed someone ask how the engine bay looked. Mine is as he was asking, not the cleanest, oil on the valve cover. Last year I did replace the plastic tank, cap, thermostat, water pump, rad hoses, and temp sensor to get rid of a worse overheating issue. Now its drive able but can't idle long. Its an 88 with the 4.0, only running a mechanical fan with no shroud (bought that way). I plan on grabbing an electric fan this weekend from a upull and throwing in it but is there more I should look for or grab to try and assist with temps while there?
