Found this and purchased one. Seems like a good deal.

Just passing it along. Cheers!

Just arrived. Looks great right out of the box. I'll install within a coupla weeks when I put the new rear bumper on.

Well, I had to mod both the stock and replacement tail light housings to accommodate my aftermarket bumper, but the new one appears to fit just like the stocker. One note, the gasket on the back is kinda stiff, and won't allow the mounting tabs to bottom out on the body. Use caution tightening the fasteners, or you may crack one, necessitating a repair:

I bought a new one for my 99 and also had fitment issues with it and ended up buying a used one from a parts Jeep $30 for both in VG condition. After a bit of polish they came out looking almost as well as the new ones.


What bumper did you use that made you have to modify the tail lights to fit?

Rockhard4x4 Patriot rear bumper with tire carrier.

If I still had the original bumper, there would have been no fitment issues.
