^^That link will get you to another link that shows my write up on our local forum!
There are others who have done this, just takes some common sense and ingenuity.
I can tell you from experience that if the holes are not centered dead on the caps will bust when you tighten down the 3 screws. I had to enlarge the holes on the first wheel I did and then make another drill fixture to get the other 3 wheels right.
why couldnt you take the center cap and get a cardboard template same exact dia... drill the holes where the cap holes are and transfer the cardboard to the wheel... the holes will be where you want them and everything =) makes things a little easier... maybe make an even better design... draw it up on paper first, transfer it to a steel plate and drill the holes into that, then you'll have a solid template you can use for your new wheels your friends or whatever.. =) sell it maybe make some money off of it
I made a steel drill guide that centers the hole, it just took 2 tries to get the hole perfectly centered. Check out the write up on our local forum to see the drill guide, links are above in 3rd post.
Looks good although I don't think I'd want to drill into my wheels!
My (black) Soft 8's are just under a year old and are holding up great, however the center caps have rusted! I waxed them inside and out before installing them and they still rusted. Thinking about painting the centers black or silver. I do like the black wheel with chrome center cap look though.
PS nice job integrating the newer bumper endcaps on the older front clip
Yep, I made them work. You will have to drill and countersink 3 very precisely centered holes in your Cragers though.
I like the look of the 97+ Bumper on the older cherokee... Thats Clean
Are you gonna use the C4x4 Tow hook mounts?
Our local forum is down for maintenance today so if you all are trying to link up to my write up, try again tomorrow, the mods should have it fixed by then.
