thanks for inquiring!

interesting then that they are pictured without holes in this quadratec page: http://www.quadratec.com/products/12525_401_07.htm

I guess I could just plug the hole up with the plug that is already there on the australian model. would have just been nice to have no hole at all.

 

I know . That is the picture i saw that spurred me to ask them last year.

I really dont see what the big deal would be to run a few without the holes. I came from a manufacturing background and NOT doing something to a part actully does make it cheaper to make. Whooda thunk it? And they could charge the same price with or without holes, and i bet no one would complain.

Oh well, someone else will come out with some sooner or later. Their loss.

 

I got an answer from AEV today and they said use plastic plugs for the holes.. so I'll wait till somebody offers them without.. I like the idea of welding them closed.. but this is thin metal and will deform with the heat of a mig. Also.. at $299 I dont want to have to butcher them up..
If they were 1/2 that money I could see screwing with them.. but.. for 3bills I can find other stuff to spend my money on until they(or somebody else) make them the right way.

 

Bingo.

 

AEV is looking for input on the possibility of offering corner guards without holes. Go to their forum section, look under JK parts.

 

They said they werent for now in that post,, too many asking for different combinations so they are sticking with what they have for now..

 

How about a replacement taillight that bolts on the stock location and eith has two oval led's or a blank area that the buyer can fit whatever light they want,, lightdots etc...
