So.... I'm guessing we're getting creative with attaching them to the body seeing as there's not factory brackets.... AMIRIGHT?
Lol, that is correct sir. Specifically, that is industrial strength panel-bond. With the wheelwells hacked out, and the trimming and shaving to get the rear flares to fit flush over the 1/4 armor... bout the only way it was going to happen.
But they're on there, and they're not budging now!
Well i am new to the Hampton Va area so i checked out a local junkyard to try to find interior for my 87' then i found this, and completely forgot about interior. Couldnt say no. brackets and all oem tire carrier with matching wheel
I just want to say. I don't even know you... but I already HATE YOU!!!!
JK man... welcome to the forums. That's a really lucky find, I've been searching for one for 5 years with no luck. Although I'm told there's no point now because it won't hold anything above a 31"

That turned out GREAT! I really like the addition of the flares with the desert tan BL.

Changed a practically new (16 months) wheel cylinder (from AZ) on the passenger rear wheel. Thought it was the hard line at first but after changing it it still leaked so I did the cylinder. Hard to see the leak because of the drum being on and you can't pump the brakes without the drum being on, so I just changed it. So far so good. Went to the NAPA by me for the new cylinder - fast, professional service.
On the upside, the axle seals are holding fine and the paint on the inside of the wheel metal plate looks okay too. The springs on the brake pads were much easier to slide on and off than when they were new.

I had the other style and it held a 33x12.50 no problem. I sold it to another member here who is still rocking it with a 33".
Yeah x2 on that.The bumper style? I could see it being stronger, but I never liked the way they looked.
Yes, that style. It had an additional brace that bolted between the bumper and body and to the bumper bracket. Only downside was having to cut the hatch to install tje latch and bracing.

Yeah, that doesn't look good.
I'm really happy with how it turned out. She looks complete now, and not so damn slab-sided.
