oooooo me want!
« on: November 11, 2009, 04:30:42 AM »
Can't tell you how many tail lights i have gone through in the last 6 months or so. Thank you Roger for somehow always having an endless supply of pre-97 XJ tails. However I have exhausted Rogers supply, so I am thinking this will be my next endeavor. http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=XJTLHSG96&Category_Code=XJArmor

What do you mean you ran out of the supply? I just gave you 3 more taillights about 2 weeks ago. You let your swingout break another on the passenger side, didn't you? JCR makes a good product and those XJ taillight boxes are really cool.

My swingout  didn't take out any it was a certain last minute trail ride. I still have maybe one complete one and another that is only slightly cracked, but I really don't feel like breaking any more. How tough do you think theses JCR ones are?

They are going to be expensive to replace when you smash one....

The breakover angle on rock climbs will be awful with that. You'll need a lot of skidplate.

I'm hoping they would be durable? I dunno maybe someone else makes something better. Wish I had the means to fabricate.

I just looked; it's only 1/8" steel?  The side marker also sticks out beyond the housing.  Neat idea, but a good bump on a rock and you will tweak the housing and crack/break the lights.  just my $.02

Depends on how they mount; they might be easy to tear off by snagging a tree or rock.  The previous option is better, but a home-made 1/4" setup would be sufficient; any hit would push the whole thing into the XJ vice breakding itself.
