oooooooooooo.... repop tails might be close!

[Pete M]

seems that Key Parts is following through on their promise to repop MJ lenses  

 

 

 

 

[MiNi Beast]

nice. 

[Gjeep]

I’ve never heard of them. Quality stuff?

[Pete M]

no idea.  but I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of reviews once they are for sale.

The MJ floor pans they make are the best fitting ones in the aftermarket realm. 

[fiatslug87]

Was there any info on when they'll be available?

[Pete M]

no timeline and no pricing has been announced.

[DesertRat1991]

Wow...!

[Muncher]

I hope they are cheap so I can attempt to smoke them

I'm sure the plastic is quite toxic and you could die if you smoked them.

looks to be just lens covers not housing bulbs at all. 

[Big_Mark]

I hope they make the bulb housing, mine are in shabby condition (as are the lenses)

I couldn’t imagine they wouldn’t make the housings as well but I’d still be happy with just the lenses. 

And be sure to sell your extra taillights now while demand is still high lol

[ghetdjc320]

I suppose the lens is better than nothing! I spoke with them back in March and they said no.

[JMO413]

So pretty.

I have a friend that has a Dodge pickup his wife rolled that used quite a few Key parts when he rebuiltit.. He said you could tell they weren't OEM, but the difference in price more than made up for it.

Nobody asked me what I thought, but considering the expense of plastic injection molding, I wouldn't be surprised if these things were expensive. If they fit and look correct next to the genuine article, I don't care. I hope this opens up the market for MJ tail lights and brings the price of the originals down to "reasonable" - let's be real here, as someone who's pretty much done purchasing Comanches, I'm all for the values of these trucks going up, but a good pair of tail lights being worth 25% of the value of the truck they're attached to is a little ridiculous. Maybe this'll encourage the people who have dozens of tail lights sitting around collecting dust to get them into people's hands while they're still worth something.

 

I really hope they get these right. "Indistinguishable from NOS" is the hope, but I'd settle for "fits in the hole and looks perfect from 10 feet"

 

If this goes well, I hope they decide to tackle some other desirable parts. I really hope they do well. If these are any good, this is plugging the single biggest hole in the MJ spare parts market, which is undeniably a good thing for the hobby. The "MJ" floor pans they sell (they're really just XJ floor pans, and I don't know if they're the ones having them made) are the best on the market. Maybe they could tackle making a true reproduction of the MJ's wacky floor structure? I'd spend good money for that. Maybe rockers that actually fit or cab corner skins? Bed sides? The rust state people would lose their minds!

Right?

1500 for one tail is totally legit.

As long as the rest of the truck comes with it.

Excuse my language but holy $#!& 2020 may have a redeeming factor...
