Short wheel base Comanche bed armor for sale. This is the first and only set I've made so far, prototype set. Same as the rest will be if I do end up selling more. 3" wide flare. Made of 14 gauge steel. Will come with nutserts if buyer wants them, and 1/4" bolts. Even a drill bit for the nutserts. $400+shipping. They're 74"x13"x7" when they're put back to back. And will probably weigh 75lbs when I've decided how to protect them for shipping. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk- 197 replies

Finally finished up mounting the rear winch. Built a new hitch while I was at it. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk- 197 replies

I've built 2 sets. They're not hard at all. But I didn't use them this last time I put my rollbar back in. Not needed. I used rear backing plates inside the wheel well though, since they were super easy to install. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I also put a winch behind my stock bumper and built a new hitch. I'm not sure how I even pulled Trailers and yanked people out with mine...had a little rust and some holes in it [emoji32] Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

HITCH PLATES!
krustyballer16 replied to krustyballer16's topic in Vendors- members making products for MJs
I hate building sliders lol but lwb sets can be done, ive got dimensions. And I can shorten the legs. Just need to know the thickness of your stiffeners. As for tail light boxes, not gonna happen. Too complicated for what I have to work with. Sorry. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk -
HITCH PLATES!
krustyballer16 replied to krustyballer16's topic in Vendors- members making products for MJs
Would anybody be interested in a hitch/steering box spacer combo for $200? Trying to think of ideas or incentives to get some hitches moving. I'm sitting on a bunch of brackets and I've started to find other things to use them for like xj hitches. Cut em up and weld them to bolt up to an xj... Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk -

I'm buying Bo's truck. And will be getting it from him first of next year. Since pictures are down, I'm sure I'll have lots of questions about your build. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk- 165 replies

This happened this weekend... still working on it. Can't decide if I want to run a stock bumper or build one. Bumper is still positioned in factory location. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk- 197 replies

It's either not long enough or it's too tall. Or both. Looks like a cartoon cowboy hat to me... Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

If nothing else, plates tying in the holes vertically, 2 or 4 at a time would work if a full plate won't fit. And I'm sure as long as you're not jumping on the rub rail that it would hold weight. A couple hundred pounds at a time. And a hammock isn't straight down or straight out stress, more diagonal. If I put these on my jeep, I would plan to use them as a step to the roof so...

I agree with first statement. Your last statement, however, without a plate behind to support the load sounds like a bad idea. Unless you happen to be a small/lightweight person. Full armor makes more sense. , IMO. To counter the 'doesn't like full armor' , the armor could be painted body color to be practically invisible to most. This is the correct way to respond with an opinion different than mine. What I was looking for but facebook is too immature. Lol. I didn't ever take the interior panel off the inside of my jeep to see what was behind there to see if a plate would fit. I don't like nutserts so that's not how I would mount mine. I thought about a plate but didn't want to waste time and material if it wouldn't fit (since I sent out the first sets for people to try themselves. And they all knew they were prototypes) Nobody has noticed that these aren't very wide and don't stick out past the flares. That's what this guy wanted. They're 3.5" from the body. The other sites were 4.5". Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Basically everyone was saying just mounting the rub rail was a horrible idea cuz it would shatter the glass instantly. Every impact or slight rub and glass is shattered, no matter what. But I've seen that glass shattered with jeeps that that the full armor. Just depends on the rub/hit. Some guys would appreciate it being there then others would wish they never installed them because it did more damage than not having them. Too many variables and situations to know a for sure outcome. I'm still working on mj bed rub rails and bed rail caps too. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

This was everyone's opinion on facebook but way more immature. It all really depends on what the customer is using them for. This guy just wants a little protection for his sons daily driving/slight wheeling. He didn't like the looks of full armor. Rub rail to me means slight rubs on trees or rocks. Not hard hits lower like quarter armor would protect from. I advertised them for $175 shipped on facebook and EVERYONE could make them for cheaper than I sell them for so I'm not sure. I didn't sell the first couple prototype sets for that much though... And I didn't mess with full quarter armor because there's 50 companies that make them just as cheap or cheaper than I could so I'm not wasting my time on that. Lol.

So I've built and sold a few sets of these mini rub rails for Cherokees. The first customer got his installed and I posted pictures on an xj facebook page. Big mistake. Bunch of 12 year old internet know it all a$$holes. Can't have a legitimate conversation with any of them. Got mixed opinions about the rub rails. So since I know we're all mature here, what are you guys' overall opinions on these? Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

For the same price as some factory set ups, it's a good new option! Might have to do it! Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
