After all my time searching, finally someone is posting them on ebay (yes, they're aftermarket fab, and yes I just ordered a set to see if they'll actually fit!)

Will advise if they're good I guess XD

Somebody else posted that link too not to long ago.
Be curious what you think about them.
$185 is a lot of money.
You do realize if you spend anytime in the woods you really don't want those.
The should be called brush catchers.
My '00 is just a DD so it is just for a look.
Can't confirm it one way or the other but they might be Mopar ones.
$25 shipped off Craigslist about 5 years ago.
Just told a buddy about an Ebay ad for what looked to be like mine. Used $106 shipped.
​​​​​​​He snapped them up quick. LOL.

Yea, mostly just going for the look at the moment. May end up using box frames later on when it's trail season again though.

As long as you know cause not only will that just catch branches and whatnot if you catch something bigger and sturdier it might take the tail light with it.

Aye. I already have enough issues with tree branches trying to take out my uhf/vhf antenna during trail runs, but those are breakaway magnetics at least.

True but those will save the lights from run away shopping carts.
