Probably so! Still a shame. You'd think someone would take the lower margin route and just blow up profit in unit sales, but I guess not.

They know people wanna beef up their Jeeps so they raise prices triple then what it cost to make....same as the vehicle manufacturer! They rob us and they make a killing doing it! We either pay the price or don't mod your ride! Simple robbery bro! And it's legal.....cheers!
Not to start a war on pricing but this is not the case in this industry. Nobody that we deal with is getting rich MFG and selling what they sell. Making a living yes but nobody is robbing anybody. This is a very competitive market and the customer is on the winning end of most deals.

Not speaking of the vendors bro, I'm talking about the companies who make stuff for our Jeeps. I deal with y'all a lot, and it ain't y'all fault. Y'all have to make a profit for selling the parts. I'm saying that it doesn't cost as much as we pay to make the parts.

If you want to get some "flush" tail lights (or anything else) because it might get ripped off on the trail, then don't.
Well, I have skids and armor covering most of my Jeep and it was all purchased for a logical reason. Ripped fenders off on trees, dented the tub, crawl over rocks, etc. So, makes sense to add protection.

When my Jeep even smells a tree nearby, the brake lights basically fall out. It's a crappy design. All I'm saying is why spend a ton of coin on a flawed light design. As far as light goes, what is wrong with the stock lights? Mine turn red when I hit the brake

Maybe I should just ask, what value does one get from those lights? I understand replacing the headlights with something brighter (though I think the stock lights are fine).

I mean, they can be made of titanium, but so long as they stick out and bolt on like the stock lights it doesn't matter. Well, I guess when they fall out from bumping a tree and my buddy drives over it with 40" MTRs, they might not break

I just tried to link up but can't out here in the Gulf of Mexico. Googled them but can't navigate to any Jeep parts.

Yes, I bet you can block off your tail light fender hole and bolt these on.
They have threaded female boss.

I think these are military surplus. Roll with real stuff.
