Wire cover kick panels

[hrainey]

I’ve been looking for the wire cover kick plates for my 98 TJ. I have found a couple on EBay but they are driver’s side only. Am I missing something? Did the passenger side not have them? Any suggestions where I might find them?

I don't believe the passenger side ever had them.

I'm not sure about the driver side of the right hand drivers, I've never seen them but I never really looked.

 

[hrainey]

Hmmm. I was afraid of that.

Driver's side only.

 

[Wombat]

Yep, same for the RHD model - it's only on the LHS

Why did they do that? That’s kind of a rhetorical question I guess

They only ran wire down the driver's side at the factory, so they only made a cover for that side. Sounds like you want to run wire on the passenger side, or a PO already did so. I feel your pain...

BUT...BUT...BUT the right side is the drivers side... somewhere.

Seriously though, I thought that maybe the right hand drives would have the whole interior wiring harness "upside down" to get it on the side of all the dashboard stuff. Maybe they just have a bunch of harness extensions crossing under the dashboard.

You might be correct at that. Dunno myself...

I’m not looking to run wires. Just want the finished look of the kick panel.
