Default Fender Brackets?

Is there any place I can get some of these? Mine are rusted too bad to reuse I think or maybe someone has another way to reattach them?

Couple options. You got a local U-Pull-It? Those are a Jeep owners best friend. If you plan on runnin big tires, you can start trimmin. You can buy new ones? From like Autozone or other part stores? Could also buy some Bushwackers.

Remove the remaining parts of the flare mounts. Clean everything up, wipe everything down with alcohol then use ultra high bond tape (.045" X 3/8" X 36 yds. will run about $25 for a roll) to reattach the flares.

Lol. No grinder yet. I guess I'll have to check around.

Yes, there are U-Pull-Its but I figure that they would be pretty rusted out too. I'm not putting on big tires, just bedlining and checking for rust. Forget about Bushwackers. They'd be neat but I don't wanna spend hundreds for new fenders.

This could work.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

The stud that hold those on will break like a match stick. You may have to see if the dealer can get them, I don't think any of the DIY parts stores will even have a listing for those brackets.

I have 3 in my garage just collecting dust. The only one missing (because it's on my rig) is the drivers side front. I drilled out the stock pins, and just mounted it with screws back to my fender. Shoot me a PM if interested.
