cquinnball Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I have read that good way to patch bedside fenders is to use a patch from a 2dr xj. Has anyone had any experience with this? Does using the rear fenders of a 97+ 2dr work to patch rear wheel well rot? Or just pre 97? I know someone parting out a 97+ 2dr. Thank you!

Pete M Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 how big of a patch do you need? I've read you can use front fenders to do some patchwork too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquinnball Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Its small, maybe about two to three inches up and about the length of the top portion of the well. There is definitely some filler in there that i want to remove with clean metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 whatever it is will be worse inside, but it looks like a pair of fronts would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquinnball Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Okay. I will start there. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 ALL XJ rear quarters use the same flares, and are smaller in height and width than the MJ rear wheel opening. For a patch that small you could snip a piece out of an XJ quarter, but for replacing most or all of the wheel arch the XJ quarter won't work. This comes up repeatedly, and some people still refuse to believe that the 2-door and 4-door XJs used the same fklares, and that they are smaller than the MJ.

krustyballer16 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just use a new piece of metal...I did. I had to cut all the way up to the body line, about as wide as the fender opening. Easy. Can't even tell now. The flare hides a lot of itSent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
