doable?..what the difference?

anyone done it and have any advice/tips?

i know they dont fit prefectly due to the light shape and the hatch shape, but aside form that....anything?
 
which guards are you talking about? thor's or jcr's? i have the 97-01 jcr and it would work on a pre 97 if the light boxes were cut off.
 
some homebrew ones a guy here made


gotcha..ya well the body line is the same minus the hatch. So, cut the boxes off and sell them to a 97-01 owner and then buy jcr's 84-96 light boxes.
 
Mike just massage the boxes a bit here and there with a flap disc and some bondo work, then paint em. Hell I'll help ya do it. Shouldn't be too hard.
 
i think ill leave the boxes on even if the hatch is square and box is rounded...just didnt know if the 3 mounting bolt holes were in different locations
 
Bolts should be the same, knowing Jeep.
And the rounded boxes on the square hatch will probably be unnoticeable by most people.
