nitroxsteve Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Dakota tail light looks simmilar but is completely different from the Comanche light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Even after reading that writeup, I still don't understand how he made dakota lights fit a comanche without cutting the hole out bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Even after reading that writeup, I still don't understand how he made dakota lights fit a comanche without cutting the hole out bigger. It looks to me like the dakota tail overlaps the MJ tail opening...... sits OVER it, not in it....... if you dig what I'm saying. But I agree, still seems like some metal modification would be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankicksass Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I really don't think it's terrible. Dakota tails are $30 a pair new, and Comanche tails are often 3x that used, especially outside the forum trading. I'm going to make some buckets for different tails sooner or later for mine. I have 2 pairs of Comanche tails but I've never been able to leave anything stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Could you adapt those "armored" ones the xj guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankicksass Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Could you adapt those "armored" ones the xj guys use? You can adapt anything, it's just metal. Or maybe plastic, if you prefer a heat gun to a welder. I think this guy uses XJ armored drop in cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsNTrucks Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 very different. you just happen to have a set of old Dakota taillights laying around? I wonder what other goodies you have laying around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've often wondered why AMC didn't use XJ tail lamps when designing the MJ. They would have saved a bundle over the years......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankicksass Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 They'd certainly have made it easier on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they didn't......... makes our trucks that much more unique. And don't you enjoy the hunt just a little? I giggle like a school girl whenever I find an MJ tail light....... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsNTrucks Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 so does anyone sell a version of those metal ones that are bolt on? If I'm gunna buy a set i don't wana tweak them to fit correctly. I seem to have a the worse luck with these damn plastic ones. Gone through a full set already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob :peek: That and the rest of his stash is probably just p/o Rob's ever-expanding retirement fund. Good idea IMO too as the return for unobtainium parts down the road will most likely blow the doors off anything you could do in the stock market. Especially the way things are going. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
