UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(03/13/2020) Listed as an M-38A1, the seller doesn’t quite have the model-type correct, but it lookalike a good price.

I swear tons of northwest flatties have those rocker guards, anyone know who makes them or sells them?
Must have a stealth radiator? Usually I can’t see the fan through the grill……
Steve,
Yes, they were VERY popular around the PNW. Some hid damage and some protected from damage. Many, many PNW trails used to be the width of jeeps, hence they scratched, dented, and damaged many bodies. Over the years, as larger, newer jeeps drove the trails, they trails widened. So, the need for these parts (and the demand) has subsided on older jeeps. These guards appear for sale every so often on eBay or on the Seattle/Portland Craigslists. I’m sure there are still some hiding in people’s garages.
That said, there appear to be some uncut corners for sale here: https://www.morris4x4center.com/corner-armor-treadbrite-alum-w-o-holes-war903.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxvLYgf6X6AIV7R-tBh1mHQ7lEAQYASABEgIqmfD_BwE and CJ-5s here https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIAMOND-PLATE-CORNER-GUARDS-Fits-JEEP-CJ2A-WILLYS-CJ5-HIDES-RUST-NOW-only-55-99-/123791195573

I hope that helps,

Ron .. I believe that the fan is an electrical fan located on the front of the radiator. It would be interesting to see if there is an interior fan or not.
