FJL Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I've been seeking a hard, paintable short bed cover for my '89 Comanche. None appear to be available. Can anyone suggest another that may be compatable> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gjeep Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I reached out to SnugTop via email Tuesday of this week. I wasn't able to reach anyone live possibly due to Covid-craziness. My ask was if they could produce 2 identical shortbed hard fiberglass tonneau covers for the MJ. Also for a shortbed camper shell. No idea on the price they'd charge or what you would be interested in paying for one. I believe Hornbrod reached out to them about 10 years ago to produce a brand new shell and they did. Not sure of what it cost... When I get in touch with them on both the tonneau and the shell possibility/ cost I'll post back on CC. If anyone else has interest, let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJL Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I'd be honored to hear back from you. I've been trying to locate a paintable hard cover, seems like forever. I just am not ready to accept there is none that will fit. Thank you! Edited June 6, 2020 by FJL Grammer and spelling edits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusPreem Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Where are you located? I have a white one, but I'm in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJL Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 What I seek is a paintable hard fiberglass lift bed cover for my '89 Comanche. One company shows a vinyl foldable three piece item at a very reasonable price but it's not what I seek. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 no one makes an S-10 or ranger one? they might fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grateful the previous owner purchased this; it sure protected the bed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I don't know of any MJ specific fiberglass hard covers. I think the only place I know of making a non soft cover is a roll top in Comanche Dawn's build thread. I think the company was Truck Covers USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Mid 90s S10 works very wellSent from my moto g power using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJL Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 You have certainly given me hope in finding what I have been seeking. Now that I know a mid nineties S10 cover appears to fit I can search that model from the different manufactures. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJL Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey Bo, Next thing I would like to do is add AC to my vehicle. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Buy a donor that has it and pull it all and the wiring. Unless you want to go with aftermarket but it will cost you at least $600 Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby, I'm sorry I referred you as Bo. My mistake not using this format that often. By the way the computer rendering of the MJ is remarkable!
