jbain Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 While wheeling over the weekend the inevitable happened, I broke a tail light and did some damage on the rear bedside behind the rear axle. I know a few of you here have either bought or built them (I can't seem to find anyone who sells them) I was hoping for a little information. First what thickness of steel did you use? I assume you bent the steel around something to get the "curve" needed. My plan is to just make a cardboard template.... lay that down on a piece of steel.... cut it out then "Mold" it to fit the rear of the MJ. After that cut out a hole for my rear tail light and hang it on the Truck. But like I said earlier it's the "Curve" that worries me.... thanks in advance.

TheDirtyJeep401 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Do you think that the XJ rear bumper with the guards be modified to fit? I don't know If that is the place you are wanting to protect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 This is what I'm refereing to 401...... (I borrowed this from your build H3RESQ..... hope you don't mind) I need something to protect the side and so I can mount aftermarket taillights.... I'm not sure the the XJ and MJ are the same but that would make things easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpace6a Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 H3R3SQ didn't build those, the previous owner did. There's a link in his thread to the po's build that goes into it I believe. Afaik, Mnkyboy built his own too, maybe he'll chime in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDirtyJeep401 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh ok the actual bedside. Wasn't sure if it was the bed side or the bottom of the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche1 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Could do something like this http://www.quadratec.com/products/product_search.php?pn=72025.821X,72025.820X&cn=OR-FAB+Cherokee+XJ+Rear+Quarter+Armor&sv=&sa=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 You have the basic idea. Mine are 3/16" plate steel, I made each side in two pieces then welded them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I could 87manche but I'd still need something to hang taillights in..... on a side note.... I had no idea those were so expensive. Thanks mnkyboy, that is exactly how I want mine to look.... appreciate the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
