i voted a-pillar light brackets, steel taillight boxes (84-96) since the choices on them are very limited, and tube doors. im not sure what a more traditional grille means. and how would a tool box replace windows? not flaming, just trying to understand. good ideas though.

Without saying toooo much...imagine taking out your rear side windows and replacing them with a simple to install tool box. Opens from the outside, lockable, hinges up with hydraulic struts... Not something you'd be able to throw tons of stuff in but things like straps, d-rings, basic tool set, quarts of oil, spare parts....They'd be pretty shallow. And a modular system too that can have some really killer features added to it.

More traditional grille is something along the lines of the vertical slots Jeeps used to all have.

How about some door armor, like what Jason has, previously made by precision metal works.

Oh, and 97+ tail light boxes.

Steel taillight boxes are already made by a couple companies and are also easily fabricated for the 96 and lower years so i dont see how they would be "new products", tube doors ive seen already on sale by a couple of private people and i believe a couple of companies. I voted for a-pillar light mounts because they stopped being made and i think they are a great idea/look awesome, but those rear window tool boxes also sound really cool as well but seem like they would be a lot of work for the weekend wrencher.

"New" to us.. Just going off of what people have asked for and most of which say they can't find them anywhere. Seems a lot of places start building something and then just kinda....fizzle...quit doing it.

The rear window boxes...oh man, talking less effort and time to install than a set of rockrails. Crazy simple!

If you made a set of good looking and good priced tube doors for 97-01 jeeps, you'd sell a lot of them. I also voted for taillight boxes since I just broke one of mine ($225 seems like wayyyy too much for some bent sheet metal), and alternator relocation.

I might also be willing to lose a rear window for a toolbox, but it seems like it'd be really loud with tools bouncing around. Another idea like that would be a toolbox that fits behind the passenger wheel hump and kinda goes back into that pocket. Maybe cut out some of the factory trim to make it a bit deeper. I think Jeep actually made something like that a while ago.

Oh yeah, I'd also love to see the steel plating for the lower body that is like the Rock Lizard quarter panel armor, but all the way down the size of the jeep. I'll probably have to cut my quarter panels after this weekend anyway, one of them got pretty trashed.

+1 on this. I'm interested in seeing the tool box and lighting too though.

lower rear quarter guards? to my knowledge only C4x4 and Hanson make them, but theyre mainly to finish off their bumpers, and a much more cashola than the old PMW and RLF ones.
