On my TJ I removed the license plate holder all together. I mounted my license directly to the panel and easily bent it to curve around the corner. That keeps it from getting knocked off by rocks or trees.

Nice to have options, I have my green tj set up like that and I like it except drilling more holes into the tub. I didn’t want to go that route on the red tj instead came up with this solution for now since I don’t care about a few extra holes in the plastic plate mount. Thanks for watching 🍻

I've had a set of similar aluminum low profile LED tail lights for years. They're so much brighter than the OE trailer lights. I also prefer the shape as opposed to the round LED tail lights available.
@ATEMOFFROAD Жыл бұрын
Way more gooder that’s for sure. I would cut a hole in the green tj for the rounds, not the red tj. I don’t think water will get into these as well so I’m happy they are solid. 🍻

I have a '97 TJ and I've been thinking of changing the OEM tail lights to LED. I had seen a different set that I was going to purchase but I actually like these better. Thank you for sharing.

My driver rear bulbs kept going out and one day went autozone to get a another it was full of water so the guy told me to drill a hole in the bottom 👍led upgrade definitely in my future

That’s a great suggestion, I may have to go back and do that to the housing mounts on the inside looks doable. I know my license plate mount has a small hole for drainage. LED is the way to go if you can, makes a huge difference. We have the Auxbeam tail lights on our JK and we love them. 🍻

I ended up cheaping out and grabbing some chinese ones from Amazon. They're like your old ones I think, except with the amber indicator for Aussie regulations. Hopefully one day Metalcloak will make export spec units.

Dustin, I installed the MetalCloak LED taillights on my 2005 TJ. I also bought the correct flasher relay. But now my turn signals do not work. However my hazards do work. Any suggestions?
@ATEMOFFROAD8 ай бұрын
Sounds like the flasher is your problem , because you’re saying all signals are working, Check both grounds to the lights again behind the steering wheel under the column there is a few connectors that can come loose pushing those all tight might fix it, I’ve had the large connector under there come loose before.

@ATEMOFFROAD Жыл бұрын
I haven’t done anything for that yet. My old led tail lights didn’t have them either. There are License plate bolts that are also leds I’ve used those on my Motorcycle those worked pretty good as solution if there became a problem. Here they are: amzn.to/3DLyFe7

@@ATEMOFFROAD I think it must depend. Your XJ has amber indicators, and Tegan and I have the US spec tail lights on our XJ’s with the amber indicators. The whole deal is strange to me. Haha Maybe I could run some external indicators similar to the small round flush mounts Metalcloak uses on their front mudguards (fenders).

@@JeepinDownUnder that’s true the only thing I can think is that the standard changed, seems like it would be easy for metalcloak to accommodate that amber marker though
