Post subject:  Light guards
Are there any metal rear tail light guards? The mopar ones are plastic and dont seem very sturdy. Would it be possible to make a mold of the plastic ones and have a metal one cast? (right terminology?) I've broken one already at camp jeep 05, so guards would be nice. Thanks.

Hey Sam,

Metal ones do exist. You can order them from autozone. I'll get you a part number tomorrow, but I'll bet someone here knows where to get them online.

You got it! $60 for about $2 worth of plastic and some double stick tape!
And by the way, they shouldn't be called brush guards. They should be called "Brush trappers"!

I wanted some of the metal ones. Shopped around a lot and could only find the Manik ones for around $180. Those are the ONLY metal ones that I can find. And I just can't bring myself to pay $180 for taillight guards when I can lift my CRD 2" for $170.

I gave up shopping (shrug). If you have the money, I would suggest getting the Manik ones.

Ity dosen't matter if they are metal or plastic all they do is add "bling" not protection.

If they are made correctly they can deflect rocks that would otherwise crack a light. This has happened to me before.

Do they fit ok, I saw what I think were these on one and the mounting tab was digging into the paint when the back was swung open. I was going to get them so it you could let me know that would be cool. Thanks

for 180 dollars a pair, I would invest my money in buying replacement tail lights for about 60 dollars a pair on ebay. That is about 3 pairs of tail lights that you can buy or 2 pairs of the cool looking alteza ones. It's just my 2 cents

If you are having that problem with your tail lights you need to get some new friends. Besides, ABS plastic will deflect a rock just as easy as low gauge steel or aluminum. I still say it is all for looks as far as tail lights are concerned.

I wouldnt want to spend that much for the light guards. I have already replaced one that I cracked. Chem, i know what you're saying and yea, I do like the look but they are also functional. Unlike some things people stick on their vehicles. And i dont think the light got cracked by a friend just one of those things that can happen off road kicking up rocks.
