    That was just a thought, i climb on the tyres (like Tom said) to get stuff from the cage anyway. It might be noisy when driving on the highway (i thought that a ladder, if fitted, should be on the side of the car) and yes, it would damage the car's image, the lines are way too nice. I want to "purify" my car look, because has a hood scoop at the moment, i tried to remove, but it left maks and shows fading around it was exposed to the sun, so i put it back until i can afford to have the hood resprayed (and remove other stickers around the car...). NFP, thanks for the "tyre" not "tire"! I lived in USA for 3 years and was weird for me when i came to Australia to find out they spelled different. VXorado, i think that before doing anything to modify my car, i need to buy nice fat tyres (tires, hehehe) like yours, and spray my wheels black, it's far more important, since the ones fitted in my car, according to the previous owner, are the factory ones still! They have some cracks between the threads, they are 15 years old! Amazing! My car has done only 83.000km (51.500 miles) and a hitch bar that i need. Kat (Sue) you're always the balanced person on the threads (the brain). Any luck with your taillight guards? If you succeed, and decide fabricate to sell more to us, i want one pair!
    Gussie, after saying all that, i think i'm back on the good books with you

    Tail light guards: still actively working on it.
    • I got the number of the fabricator "Ala5ka" mentioned, thought I'd discuss it with him.


    • Exploring what it would take to get tabs welded onto the stainless steel ones I got, and then get powdercoated black. Maybe fabricator above can do it.


    • I placed a WTB post on the planetisuzoo.com


    • I'm still doing some internet searching...I find a new vendor every few days...still no luck though....


    • and lastly, I'm thinking of putting them out to bid to anybody on the forum that can do this kind of fabrication.....


    • Welcome anybody else's ideas!

    I've been trying, believe me Gussie, I've been trying. I'm kind of hoping that the stainless ones I got can be modified to work, then after they're all welded etc, I can loose the s.s. and get them powdercoated black.....because I can just about ASSURE you all there's NO black Rodeo/Passport/Amigo tail light guards on the planet!....at least none that anybody has for sale right now.

    Only other choice is to get a set fabbed from the ground up....$$$$ I bet it will be a ton o'money.

    And if I can't get or can't afford either of those options, I swear, I'm buying more 3M double stick tape and sticking those &*%$ plastic ones on....or maybe even the stainless ones! ()

    stay tuned.....
