Tail light trim

Post by kZ900Jim »

Hi all... New to the forum, not to Jeeps tho..

I'm working on my sons 79 wagoneer while he's away in the USAF..

I'm looking for the tail light trim.. I'm searching 79 and can find the lens but not the trim.. any help would be appreciated.

Jim

You are not going to find a new part, unless you connect with some secret stash of NOS parts. Highly unlikely.

So you'll get one from a wreck or part-out.

We have a WTB (want to buy) forum. Try there. Also similar forum on IFSJA.

There are junkyards that specialize in these Jeeps. Jakes in NC (PM member Tanker), Montana Overland. It would help to put your location in your sig.

You can try car-part.com to try and locate the part in other junkyards.

taillight trim ?

you mean the housing ? Is yours a wrap around light ir the rectangle light ?

they sell them on ebay. but they are all used. They do make brand new lenses and gaskets but as far as im aware the chrome.plastic housing isnt made new

they make a lot of new parts like the side marker housings and stuff. but sadly not that.

Yes, the wrap around chrome piece. I didn't see any on eBay yesterday.

I have new lenses on the way.. one is bent a bit and I'm afraid if I try and straighten it, it will break..

i have a jy maybe 25 min away with an 81 in it has wrap around lights. The salvage yard has been closed for like a month but i havent checked the last 2 weeks.

Ill call them yomorrow to see if they are open. And if they are ill go out and vheck if the wagoneer and its taillights are still there.

which one do you need drivers or passenger side ? do you need the reverse light housing too ?

just a heads up. this wagoneer is in rough shape.. rusted to hell and chrome isnt the best.. Ive snatched a lot of parts on it but im pretty sure the chrome on the taillights are spotted. but i tjink they are in good shape physically.

if they are still there

can you send me a email so we can work out a price and payment. I take paypal if you have paypal.. also have nearly 30 100% reviews on my ebay account selling ZJ and FSJ parts if you want to see lemme know.

i just called and they are open and said thr Jeep is still there. ( unsure of the taillight i havent gone yet) but he said tailight housings are 35$.

so can you do 70 plus 7$ for usps shipping assuming youre still interested ? Ill even put the receipt from the jy in the box. But id like some money for my gas n time getting it.

lemme know..
