I guess you could say that you think they are totally tubular.

I Just glued the Comanche fender emblems on the front fenders. Don't know if these are from the local Venezuela Jeep assembly plant, I paint in black and  spray with transparent paint.

[fiatslug87]

So you are in Venezuela? Please add the VIN to the registry: https://comancheclub.com/forum/35-1992/ we have two other Venezuelan MJs in there.

And the moldings adapted (nip fab)  from the 1998 Cherokee donor

Apparently this emblem is from the 70s two door Comanche Chief

No, unless that was a Venezuelan thing, none of the full size trucks had Comanche. That is an 86 model year only emblem.

I think you're correct, they seem to hit the body lines.

I thought the same but weren’t the reverse lights still on the bottom with the Dakota? Either way the fit looks good. @elycomanche can you shed some light on this? 

[Pete M]

yes, but maybe if they are upside down they fit the MJ better?
