I have seen on a few xj's cage style armor on the the taillights. It reminds me of the armor some wranglers have. My freinds xj has it but he said they were on it when he got it. I cannot find anywhere that sells anything like this. does anyone know where to buy this?

Some that I have seen were adapted from a Land Rover. Saw them on an XJ in a parking lot and happened to see the owner and that's what he told me.

How about something like this?

I am not a big fan of the wire cages.. and something like these would provide more protection.. to each thier own.

However I believe they are available from 4wd hardware or Quadratec..

You beat me to it prerunner1982. I plan on getting a set of these for my Jeep in the coming months. I do remember seeing a set where the lights were kind of recessed inside a small lip, instead of just flat like those. I can't seem to find them now though.

Hmm if ya find a link to buy a set of these post it..I looked at 4wd.com and quadratec and didn't see any..

This is the only place I could find them online. Says the '84 - '96 is out of stock.

why would a flat square piece of metal with 2 holes in it will cost $200+, its makes direct contact with the real lights, so if it gets a hit,, it will still damage the tails. I guess,, unless thats some real thick metal.. IDK.. cant you guys make those yourself...

cant howler make some... we should ask him...

I've looked at those before, but the price is stupid in my book!! If I had the tools I could make them much cheaper!! If I only had the tools...

Southern96xj

I said the same thing, the price is ridiculous. I have a few friends that work at machine shops here in the area, I think I'll see if they can make me a set for a fraction of the cost of those. And they will be built A LOT tougher.

Yeah 200 is insane..maybe Howler wouldn't mind looking into something like this to see if he could do something cost affective..

The lights could be bought at a Tractor Supply CO or something. There pretty common, and the set up on an XJ is pretty simple, so it should be easy to do!!

No i meant more the wire cages, i think look B.A. IMHO. i dont really like those solid metal ones, just wondering if anyone knows where to buy the wire cage ones.
