Bed Armor

[WiscoXJ]

Took my rear flares off today and of course theyre rusted out behind them. The XJ's have some pretty cool rear armor options out there. I doubt anything is available for the Comanche but has anyone made anything cool? rather than replacing the sheet metal id rather beef it up but I'm open to opinions :cheers:

Yea, I'd like to see some of what you guys did too. I've seen at least 2 other trucks on here with some real nice bed armor. I'd like to add some rear, and lower bed armor too

I saw this one in a google image search today. It looks like its just the xj armor modified a bit.

 

These look awesome too

 

I would like mine to tie in all the way around the wheel well. Like I said my fenders are rusting out and I want to beef up. I'm guna see what sort of prerunner stuff is out there. My buddy is great at fab and I bet could think of something.

did you make that mnkboy?

[Incommando]

Mnkboy oughtta whip up a couple of sets of those....  :brows:

[mnkyboy]

Yes i made them. i have thought about making a few sets,just need to find some spare time.

[WiscoXJ]

How did to choose to hold them on? Rivets?

[mnkyboy]

They are bolted on,there is just enough room behind the tail lights to get a hand up behind the bedside to put on the nuts.

 

If you look close at the pic you can see the heads counter sunk into the corner armor,its a stainless bolt with a tapered phillips head.

Nice, I'm contemplating how to fasten mine just due to the fact that its a daily and I'm in Wisconsin. I don't want salt getting between me bed and the plating. I could always silicone around every thing prior to install I suppose
