All CJ front fenders are the same, from 1972-1986, CJ-5 or CJ-7 (CJ-8's
also). -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID, HEI 4.56 Gears, Lock-Right F&R 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, D30 Front.

Are you sure?
I thought they changed the length of the front fenders somewhere around 1980???

I raised my eyebrows at JimG's claim too because I thought that there was a re-wrok in `76, so I looked it up on the 4WD catalogue. They list the `72 through `86 fenders as direct replacements. They also list the `69 through `72 fenders as also fitting `55 through `68, but include a hole for the post-`68 marker lamp.

Yup, and the only reason they lengthen the hood and fenders four
inches was to accommodate the new owner, AMC's '29 Nash straight six.

Hi Serg,
American Motor Corporation AMC purchased Kaiser-Jeep in '70 and made no changes until '72. You may easily see where they added the four inches at the cowl forward to make room for their bread and butter longer straight six, between these two pictures: http://www.billhughes.com/jeeplaunch.jpg and http://www.billhughes.com/RonReaganJeep2.jpg God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O Serg wrote: > > so what year did they lengthen the hood and fenders? > thanks bill |
