2020 gladiator Rubicon 2018 trackhawk
So I have a Rubicon gladiator with the led package. Today I went to a buddy's property 200+ acres to shoot my barrett for the first time ever. Please note I understand that I'm an idiot in the next part. Having no table I use my tailgate to set up and shoot. Unfortunately for me my inexperience put the muzzle near my taillight. After 2 rounds the muzzleblast had shattered the plastic in my taillight on my driver side. I have googled and scoured the internet anyone have some leads on one?

We have all done some things that my grandmother would have classified as just plain “ignurnt”. I got my share of examples but I ain’t sharing today. I’ll let you have the spotlight :)

Down to business, I’m thinking the Gladiator is so new that you may be stuck with a direct replacement from the dealership/Mopar. Just tell them a helper smacked with some plywood.

Just be glad you did not fire over the roof or the hood, you think a tail light is bad to buy, an ar can crease you hood good, take a tactical vehicle course of fire with a aluminum hood.

Aside from that, I’d say dealer is your shot right now.

If you have a minute, would you please post a pic of the back side of the tail light for me?
I am looking for an area in the back to install a bulb. Trying to make it so when I tow my JT behind my RV, I will have a dedicated set of bulbs for brake and turn. I did this for my TJR and it works great. No need for special harnesses or diodes. If there's room, I'm drilling holes !!!!!! Thanks in advance.

I had a friend do the same exact thing in his Ram truck. Coast him $400 + $12 for the cartridge.

The good thing is that we still git to laugh at him today after 3 some years have passed. You won't live this down anytime soon if you have good friends:CWL:

LOL, I've seen hoods shot (scope bore line), beds shot(scope bore line) , paint blown off of hoods and roofs (muzzle brake), and a back window shattered (muzzle brake).

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you.

Was that for one light fixture (I expect) or possibly bundled as a set?
Glad you got it fixed and had some great fun.
