flint54 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 May or may not be the right place for this query: I would like to locate a source for diamond plate bed rails and tailgate rail, similar to what DeeZee offers for more abundant truck models. Anyone know??
jimoshel Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Unless you luck out and find a newly discovered OEM stash or come across some in the JY, FORGET IT! There ain't any. You can get a 4'X8' sheet and make your own or look for some from a similar truck, S10, Ford Ranger,etc.
sinkrun Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I have a Comanche specific tailgate protector in diamond plate actually I have 2 ones smooth I like the smooth one better. Its used got off ebay I have about $40.00 in it if you are interested.
mjtjnj Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 wanted to dredge this old topic back up. anyone know of a source for aftermarket, and if not what's the closest model for a fit?
Thunderbear Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 wanted to dredge this old topic back up. anyone know of a source for aftermarket, and if not what's the closest model for a fit? Someone just fabbed up these on his own MJ. Let me find it. Edit: PACIFIER made these for his. My bed rails are so awful, these would be a perfect fix. While I find / buy the additional parts for the tranny swap, I decided to continue working on other areas of the MJ. The bed rail armor has been installed.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I'd stay away from aluminum, and definitely use steel rivets. had these on a customer's comanche. he wanted them back on after the paint job. they cause rust like a mofo up north here.
jpdriver1 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I snagged some from a long bed chevy and cut em down/notched em to fit
ParadiseMJ Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I got a tailgate protector in diamond plate for a Ranger, too wide, as in thick. I cut about an inch off with my table saw. After that it fit perfect. Stainless screws and silicone in between.
mjtjnj Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Good stuff, thanks. What did pacifier make his out of. Looks good. I like the idea of black diamond plate, though, too
flint54 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Since the old topic resurfaced, I ended up taking some measurements and had a local fabricator make me some rails using aluminum diamond plate - four pieces. Had to do some final fitting/trimming, but very pleased with them.
