    I just finished up putting in new 16ga floorboards into my CJ5 and new hat channel and I am now looking into trying to replace the rear fenderwell supports on both the right and left side. I haven't found any, hoping you guys know where I can find them or let me know if they are even needed or post up or give me some ideas of work arounds..

    Well I see they have the passenger baffle support I think that will do me for that.. I guess I'll just have try to fab up the drivers side on the break... just won't have that nice curve......

    The passenger baffle support is for the side spare tire mount.

    I cut the supports out of my passenger side fender in 1967 to make room for a gas saddle tank. I don't think you need the support if you don't hang the spare tire off the fender using the stock spare tire mount. If you do want to hang the tire there, I don't think that support is nearly enough to support the tire over hill and dale.

    I don't believe there was ever a support on the drivers side rear fender.

    I mounted my spare on the rear, and I sure do like it there.

    If you'er not going to put the spare there, I wouldn't put the brace there either, it's just a spot to collect mud, roots, weeds etc. AND for rust to start!

    Yup, there is, it's the kinda "C" shaped piece top center-

    The long part runs up the inside of the wheel housing, then across & the short side down the inside of the tub. Probably not a support so much as a wobble remover. :)
