Well.........if you had these on your JT. You would never have knocked a taillight off. LOLI have and I went back to stock.
These just don't work with the proportions. They look like cheap trailer lights from pep boys turned 90 degrees.
IMHO... Jeep has an iconic grill and recently similar proportion taillights. They look better fatter...
If I went flush....perhaps a CJ2A throw back and fill in the rest...honor the J300 too.
And yes....Oracle stuff looks cool, but after the heated headlight debacle....never again.
I know what you mean about modding. The more you set up for trail use, the farther you get away from oem. It's how far you want to take it.Perhaps....maybe if I stopped yielding even when I have the right of way......
Seems like no good deed.....
Or perhaps the trail to hell is littered with polite wheelers?
Thankfully they are easy to replace.
You bring up a good discussion point.... How much to deviate from the stock aesthetic when modding? The Oracle ones look closer to original....but quality is lack luster....
Like I went with Mopar steel bumpers, and I will keep part matched fenders....
I found rims that match my paint....
In my experience those 'guards' end becoming damage multipliers. A tail light is cheaper than replacing your bed or having a bodshop repair it.
I'm talking about a brush guard, I know it's not going to protect the light from being crushed if you back into something but those brush guards for your taillights will prevent your lens from getting cracked if a limb swings into it. Let's face it, if back into something your going to be replacing a taillight either way more than likely. Never had a set do more damage though.
