I've thought this over a lot. I know there are "plastic welders" too, but due to the price of them I'm not willing to hack em up. One idea I had is if I could somehow get ahold of two extra front flat flares, and mount them. I think SeriousOffroad / Frank did that, might be wrong...

My 89 had 269k on it. The one from my 95 zj crapped out and I stuck the 89 one in there. Added another 1000 to it and still going strong.
