Tsalagi Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Has anyone tried to modify the XJ armor to fit the Comanche? What issues would you run up against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't think it's long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Too short like Pete said and the bed curves around while the XJ is a 90* corner. I think the XJ lower may even be a little shorter in height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsalagi Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 I may give it a try to see what I can make of it since it appears no one has tried it. I will post pics if I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoutback Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I have armor from the SmittyBilt bumper I had on my XJ that I never installed. I'll see if I can mock it up on my '89 and get you pictures / feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrapneltyphoon Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Buy the armor from dirtbound off-road. They make it for the comanche and a nice rear bumper too. Not too spendy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottJeep Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I know a guy that has that armor plus the entire bedsides for a SWB that is currently For Sale. Already powder coated. Even has matching fronts. OH YEAH... me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will help hide where some “knucklehead” bumped it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottJeep Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 LOL That is sorta how my whole thing started. Had a kid where I coach in the evenings "lightly sideswipe" my driver's rear from the flare back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsalagi Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 So Pete had the correct answer in a nut shell. They are too short. Otherwise they fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
