Rob M Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm rebuilding a 92 Comanche Eliminator. The body work is about done, with the paint coming up soon. I'm having a real hard time finding the original body decals, and roll bar. The decals start at the front of the door and go to the end of the truck. They are what I've heard called the fade away style. The truck is turning out great and is going to look mostly stock with the exception of rims,tires and bumpers. I've checked with a few Jeep dealers who told me the decals are no longer in stock, so I hope someone might know an after market source. I could get a roll bar made , but would prefer a stock roll bar (short box). Anybody out there have any ideas where I can find these things ?

88pioneer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 every once in a while i see comanche decals on ebay, they usually come and go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 the decals arent out there, to my knowledge. I'm gonna be starting my very own 92 eliminator restore in spring. I'm having a local decal business make and apply them to my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBKrazy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i think you can still find the stickers on ebay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I also looked everywhere for decals but was unsucessful. The only decals I found in my search was the "Jeep" on the tailgate and I found one vendor that had the old "SporTruck" but nothing else. The body shop ended up finding a sign guy that made stickers for it. They looked exactly like the originals. I was very pleased. Not to discourage you and keep in mind i have limited knowlege on the subject. But if you look at my truck on the signature, you will notice the stock on my decals were a solid color (all black). I am guessing yours are not. That would make it a completely different challenge in my opinion. You may need to take it to a custom painter but I would certainly talk to a sign guy too. Take pleanty of photos. Regarding the roll bar, you just have to keep your eye open for a used one. They show up here once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 as far as the roll bar, ones out of trucks about the same size as the mj can work nicely. I'm not 100% sure what ones and years but someone should chime in with better info :thumbsup: post pics of that truck up to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boilermaker Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 A similar thread was started a while back, but nothing seemed to come of it. I pm'ed the author and let him know of a dealership that had NOS OEM decals (one side only tho) to use as a template instead of trying to trace the side of a truck. So they are still out there...just few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob M Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'll post pics as soon as I can get them. The guy doing the body & paint is about 50 miles from me. A bit depressing about availability of stock decals kind of hoping they might still be out there somewhere. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1999MJ Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 it's a factory roll bar. came out of my 88 chief short bed. It's in great shape. Just a little sun faded and could use a quick coat of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob M Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 I would be really interested if we could come to an agreement on shipping and payment, don't know if UPS would ship something of that size. Also would you have any pics of the roll bar, thanks :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob M Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Thanks, faded paint is not a problem, it will be repainted with the paint going on the truck. A couple of pics would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
