It's hard to tell, but the PO probably cut the front bottom section off and moved it up to the start of the roll over. A little skim coat and paint and taaa daaa.

Here is a couple more shots of it that make me believe its not custom home fab. But maybe.

- Pieces and parts...1975-2006 scratch-built CJ/YJ/TJ, titled as a 1988 YJ.
There's an outfit called Fiberglass Laminating that does some of the repair panels for JC Whitney... I was never able to find them directly, but ordered fenders anyway. Mine were for a YJ, but the craft work was similar. If you can find a direct contact maybe they would be willing to send you a finished product pic?
I couldn't get the Whitney reps to give me their contact info back when I ordered...

I mean I could weld a piece on there and shape it. Just doesn't seem like that's what happened. Anyway, I was really just wondering if anyone has seen them before.

I bet that adds a great deal of strength to the fender. Back when motorcycle fenders were getting bigger and bigger to accommodate the stupid wide tires that were popular I saw quite a few fenders with stress cracks down the center. I always wondered why the builder didn't add a small, hidden steel rolled bar or a roll like yours near the back to stop the fender from vibrating with the engine.
This seems like something a skilled guy with a round bar some heat and a body hammer could do fairly easily.
