Rusty's metal taillight housing

[riverrat92]

So this maybe a dumb question but I've been browsing around both on this forum and around the web and I can't seem to find a picture with these housings actually on a MJ? Has anyone on here used them?

I didn't want to spend the 200 and built my own for the cost of steel

The guys at Dirtbound Offroad hinted that they may be developing something soon: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf4J0bhlgCc/  If you can be patient it may be worth waiting to see what (if anything) they come up with.

I'm curious, what did you use to form your radius?

4" cutoff wheel and being gentle. Making cuts every 1/16" or so and twisting the grinder to remove the metal strips. Then clean up rough edges with a rounded file.... Took forever

Now that I have access to a cnc plasma table it's like 2 hours of work versus 2 mins

I'm dumb.

I had the bench seat out while doing the floor pans and used the top of the back rest.

I would like to one day make a bolt in application for my Comanche Club friends, so I would set up a jig to form the next batch

Do you have anymore pics since you posted this back in 2018? Would love to see a finish result and design plans maybe.
