Wanting metal Tail light boxes? Possible group buy?

[brimy311]

Hey everyone, Brian from JcrOffroad. We have received a handful of emails from MJ owners asking for heavy duty tail light boxes. Well I am interested to see what kind of interest there really is. We are starting to build everything in batches to get pricing down and to be able to have stuff in stock, but I don't see us making heavy duty MJ tail light boxes readily available.

 

So what am I getting at? I am considering developing HD Tail light boxes for MJ's and doing a group buy on them. Price wise, you would be looking around $145 for a pair (you source the lights). In order for us to do this, we are going to be looking at selling 15 sets (a full batch) before we do any work on developing these. So would you be interested? We probably wouldn't get around to build the batch until the first of Feb, so you wouldn't need the money until then. This would be a one time deal, we probably will not make them again.

 

Let me know what you think.

 

They will look similar to these:

I think It would be a great idea. I would like to know what they were going to look like before I committed any money though.

Posted pics of what they will look similar too. Obviously they will be a little different to fit the MJ.

i would definitely be in, was looking into making some myself but this would be a whole lot better than what i could make

[cracker]

I am interested for sure.

 

I can't find OEM lights anymore thyat don't look hammered so this will be a nice upgrade :)

[jpnjim]

I would buy a set. :cheers:

 

I would be even happier to buy a set that raps around the side of the bed tho :banana: :

 

 

 

Looks like this would be a limited edition run, so I'm not looking for miracles,

but it doesn't hurt to ask. :yes:

If they looked good, I'd get 2 sets.

[88pioneer]

:agree: with jpnjim :thumbsup:

[JeepcoMJ]

I'm in.

 

 

I'd be interested in the set that wraps around too...even more interested if you can make sections to go from front of bed to rear in that section...

I would be interested in the tail light guards... with the little cage around them, similar to 1990 pioneer...

wraparound is good,very good. :agree:

[Dave Stark]

I'm in.

 

I would like the wrap around if they protected the quarters as well...

[james750]

I'd like these as well, but I would need to know what the final product would be before I commit as that is a lot of doe for me to drop right now, I would also like the bed protection/corner guards built in.

[jimoshel]

I'll take a set.

Question. Where do we get the lights at that fit in these? Are they off the shelf at any parts store or are they special order?

I wanted to see what these would look like on an MJ, so I put some on my truck :rotf:

I am not too crazy of the look on my pavement princess. Thanks for the offer though! Maybe others will like it and get you to 15 sets :D

:agree:

[JeepcoMJ]

then it doesn't matter, because they're not designed for d/d street trucks anyways.

 

it's protection against busted tail lights on the trails. that, and cheap insurance that the most your tail light replacement is gonna cost is $10 when you bust a lens

[Automan2164]

Me likey these:

 

 

I would buy a set of those...

I would agree with Rob, to an extent. If buying something like that I would expect the WHOLE light to be covered :brows: (yes, I know those are retro-fitted from an XJ)

[dakal]

need to see the final product!!!!!

[brimy311]

The rear 1/4 panel guards would actually be easier to make look nice then just retrofit tail light boxes. Problems with this is; 1.) The cost would be near $300 a set. 2.) These would be only available for SB MJ's.

[pingpong]

I would be game for the whole quarter panel especially if it covered the lower corner.

 

Also will these light boxes be like shortened versions of the xj box or will they follow the more rounded corner of the MJ? If I could protect the lower rear corner of my bed, instead of cutting it... 300 is a bargain. No one makes replacement bed parts for the MJ.
