I would do something like this rather than tap an existing harness.
$18 seems like a good deal since you could use it for more stuff.

Many here have had the exact same issue. I replaced mine and the new one worked out fine.
If I had to do it again, I would just tear out the insides and put in a red LED strip, solder the plug and fill the light with a clear epoxy. I think someone here did something similar.
The dorman looks...
I found the jt that i wanted, but the dealer holding it refused to tell me the price over email.
I found another dealer and we negotiated the price for that very same truck. A day later, I traded in my old jku and got the jt. No upcharge.
The original holding dealer later contacted me and asked...
I'm all for someone making a plastic liner with better clearance, but I've yet to see one. I think paramount used to make a trimmed one that was similar to the factory one.
That being said, sometimes people like stuff because they like stuff. Especially when it comes to jeep.
'I really don't...
I had the aluminum poison spyder fenders on my old jku. Real strong. You could stand on them. The also folded the front quarter panel when they took a hit. LOL
I am with staying with plastic now.
I would like to see a nicer former fender liner though. Most of the ones out there are blockier...
It's always been more convenient for me to change the oil in my jeeps.
I hated having my old ford sitting at the dealership all morning just for an oil change. Even the 'free' ones.
I switched to the fumoto on my old jku when I got the rock hard skids.
For the jt, I switched to a pump extractor...
Like the lighting setup, but it would have been nice if they weren't bigger than the inset. Following the lines would have made them look like they were fitted.
I also no longer have the ball pins to the factory lights. Good job on a quick doable solution.
Did someone try to break into your truck? Check the keyhole. Samething like that happened to my wife's van. They broke the lock and the clicking was it trying and failing to engage. And the whole time, it was draining the battery.
I've got an 8 ton bottle jack. A partially cored out hockey puck that sits snug on top. And a hi lift jack base that I notched out for the bottle jack release dial. Other than having to notch it, thE base fit perfectly.
@Quadratec , is the forum discount no longer attached to our accounts? I tried a few different items and no longer see the discount at checkout.
Thanks
