    I could really use a tail light lens... Any body have or know where to order stock tail light lenses, This truck is my Daily driver so it gets attention, mostly beat up attention. I have a Bad axle bearring that filled the Right rear hub with gear oil so about the time I found that I also heard the tranny start making noise so it's off to Pull a Part to look for another and buy a new clutch. I picked up a webber the otherday so I'll be getting that installed soon. Geeze it's a never ending task. I have my Baggs and mounts, just need to fab the york, and buy lines and tank and valves oh and switches too.

    well i have a set of lenses. theyre tinted black from when i worked at a custom shop. make me any offer. i could get them mailed out so you have em by the show we are workin out.

    if yours is a longbed like i think it is...take pics of what you end up doing for a carrier bearing crossmember. i need to redo mine. once you see how low the truck sits youll understand. lol.

    I made the mistake of not doing just that when I built my Samurai...I vowed to take pics of this one and the wife's Mazda.

    you know I was under it replacing the Gas tank and installing the lowering blocks and I did not even pay atten to the carrier bearing... I do know I have a Cross-member (Tranny I assumed) that hangs low I know I will have to do something with that. But I have a tubing bender so who knows.

    Hummm Blacked Tail light lenses??? Dude I don't want to insult you because I'm a Tight a@@ so I'll throw out a Ball park figure How's $40 bucks + shipping

    can you see the Amber and red when the lights are on? and why did you go back to Stock? Oh and the millian doller question where did you find them.

    I like the paint job... that is actually similiar to what I want to do, but with blue/black, and slightly different to how you have painted yours up.
