comanche vs cherokee tail lights

[jeepaholic]

does a tail lamp assembly off a 84-96 cherokee fit the MJ's??

[tjbliley]

no

I've seen it done, but the fab work required isn't near worth the time.

[jeepaholic]

eff a bunch of fab work for tail lights..I just find me some that fit.

[Oizarod115]

dakota ones don't fit either :hateputers:

go out, and get some sheetmetal, bend/fab to your needs (its not that hard, really!) and mount some LED lights in it.

 

Just wait till my MJ is done. It will have the 97+xj tails blended into it, as well as the new front clip.

I have yet to find a tailight that fits nicely. Back in the day when I drove Pong on the street, I wheeled him as well. It wasn't uncommon for me to bust a light or two :eek: Afte a while I fabbed my own guards that where labeld Ghetto "fab"oulous guards, but they worked ;)

 

MY latest thoughts would be to look at the lowrider crowd. They make and sell inserts to fill in the tailight section and move your lights. I think this would solve 2 problems at once. First being the lack of availability of tail lights, and the second their location that put them in harms way.

 

Just my :smart: humble observations, on a common problem

you can make your own filler pannels. It's real eash and you can get the shet metal cheep at home depot and install any light you want. I just used Leds

How did you get that nice roll on the sheetmetal?

I bent it around a 3" piece of pipe I had laying around

Nice thinking. :thumbsup: Did you apply heat or was the metal just that thin?

[1999MJ]

No heat... It's 18g steel, bends kind of easy

That's super nice fab work, 1999.... looks like out of the factory. Very clean. I like that look.
