Tail light option.

[CJ's 89 MJ]

 

Hey guys just kind of looking for opinions about this set up. See if anyone would be interested in them. This is mainly a mock up right now. I'm not the one doing them but a buddy of mine is making them. With our tails getting harder to find I am really leaning towards installing them on my 89. Any feedback back is welcome. I will pass it along to him. Thanks.

Looks very 80's. I wouldn't do it but I've seen worse things :)

The last time I checked the MJ is an 80s truck mate.    

 

What's the bulb install plan for inside the sheet metal grate?

I like it especially if you could easily swap stockers back in.

This is what he has came up with. Running led's. I'm interested in a set when he gets them finished.

There isn't much wrong with my tails but I'm always looking for something to make my mj stand out more when possible. With the tail lights being hard to find and getting more and more expensive I see it as an alternative.

I think something along these lines would be a more popular replacement.

Back-up light provision?

Wow that's tacky and ugly.

It looks bad but also kind of dangerous. LEDs are directional so point them straight to the rear if you want people to see the light during all weather conditions.

IMO, a blank (no cutouts other than mounting) box that bolts in would be ideal. Then, people can use what they have or what they want in them. I like the idea of the rounded edge that matches the body. 

 

Would be nice to potentially bolt on or integrate bed armor of sorts.  But nice boxes would be a great start.

He is asking $150 for the boxes. The lights are purchased separate. So you can select color of your choice. If anyone is interested just let me know. Or you can find him on Facebook Mikey Brandvold or under T&M metal fabrication.

There needs to be a diffuser in there somehow, that separates the red running/brake light from the amber directional lamp.  The way it's set up is like trying to light your way with a jack-o-lantern.  The red will wash out the amber and vice versa inside the hollow space.

Mnkyboys are awesome,T&M is somewhat local to me so i have been watching them but i like mine more.

Oh ya I agree. Your's are very nice. Of that was something that's offered I would strongly consider it over what's being offered. I just posted them as an option.

:hmm: Don't like any of them...

Interesting to see what the next option/try will be.

[mnkyboy]

Mine are good for a wheeler,they are 3/16" plate steel and match the contour of the bed.

The lights are Maxxima hybrid LEDs so everything is in one light.

 

I didn't want to have to worry about finding replacement lights if i broke one on a trail,the Maxxima lights are easy to get.
