Default Tail light boxes my way.


The xj does have small curves , let her be a little sexy all boxes on the market dont Thesecare 1/4\" bent to match

spent time getting these open corners looking good





Dont if ill be able to resist running a bar off fender. This will also give side alittle tree rock protection

I have not decided on lights but am wondering wtf do i need tail lights

Those are without a doubt the sturdiest tail lights ever. Now cut out the hole for the lights but mount them inside, not on the outside face, and cover the hole with expanded metal or round stock bars or something. Looks dang good tho.

ohhhh baby, that's the kind of attention to detail that gets me going. Looks awesome. Is that 1/4"? What'd you do to bend it, heat and beat?

Thanks guys, yes 1/4" i heated red hot with a rose bud and lightly bent it. Rose bus os a very useful tool.

The recess idea has been going through my head and how to do it. I think i saw some round lights recessed insude the face in some round tube
