89JeepMJ Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 has anyone ever done this but not mudded it up and blocked it to make it all blend in. I'm looking for a repair where you turned it into something cooler. I'm thinking like a black panel with silver rivets or bolts with chrome heads. pictures would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 No pictures but somewhere I have seen Diamond plate with black bolts or rivets neatly done. I have been thinking of this myself lately as mine is where it has to have something done soon. I did just weld rockers on and floors (first time) and used black chip guard to hide my novice work. Its going to be hard to hide novice work on the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure your talking about "CW Long Shot" Image Not Found His whole build thread can be seen here http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1230 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 CW just basically moved his flares up into the stratosphere to rid the rust, but the diamond plate helped a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89JeepMJ Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 http://www.dakota-durango.com/forum/sho ... p?t=155248 Kinda like this but down closer to the body ling on a MJ and it would be behind the flare. also be a lot more nicely done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89JeepMJ Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 got rid of the rust but still added a cool look at the same time, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Dude that looks freakin awesome :eek: Even if i didnt have rust, which i do, i would put those on. What exactly did you use? obviously rivets, but what gauge steel and i guess a plasma torch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89JeepMJ Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 aluminum rivets, 14 guage aluminum sheet, gloss black and black silicone. i used a scroll saw to cut it out cause aluminum is so soft. made foam board templates which all the drawing up and figuring out the angles and all, that took the longest time.

Automan2164 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Doesn't look half bad for sprucing up a work truck. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl'sMJ Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks good... Did you cut out all the rust behind it or just cover it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
