Broken wheel well
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 10:33 AM
I have an 03 and my front right wheel well basically shattered. I pop riveted it together with the pieces I found so its like half together for now. I'm wondering if I can pop one off any other cav or fire at the junkyard and just screw it in? The newest cav there is probably a 2001

Ok good news. Thanks guys. I didn't know because there are different bumpers.

Good thing it wasn't the left side that shattered or my intake would be smothered in snow and ice.

All I have is the camera on my phone. Ill take a few pictures of it while I replace Friday. It broke into probably 10 pieces and about 5 disappeared somewhere on the road. It was due to all the ice and snow build up that eventually managed to crack it pushing all the snow and ice into the bumper covering my horn and fog light assembly.

Well here she is. Got the part off a 01 I think, that was buried in about 2 feet of snow. Didn't fit exactly and had to cut off and reform a few pieces as well as drill a few new holes. But its on now.

Wow, well once again first i've seen one broken light that. Then again i'm from south louisiana so it RARELY gets cold enough to do some damage like that. I've seen them scuffed up due to tires rubbing, that's about it. Glad to see you got it fixed, looks like it wouldn't take that long?

In the summer. A 5 minute fix. In the winter. A 25 minute fix.
It took a good hour to get it off at the junkyard because we had to dig through a mountain of snow with our hands and then jack the car up like 3 different times using the spare jack in the trunk of the car. (don't ask)
Whatever its fixed thanks guys.

Same thing I was thinking above... the liner isn't so bad.. the wheel well... still yet to see that happen.
