Used lenses, sure. NOS? Haven't seen any lately, but I haven't been looking either.
Evan got me a cool pair of the two-tone lenses, rumored to have come from Oz via SOR...Might wanna call Marv and bug him to get more...unless Bushboy can come up with some.

Has FoxFab ever looked at repro'ing some? More of a market than FJ-45's I reckon...

Thanks, I discovered some in my junk and didn't know if they were rare or really rare. I am getting a bunch of junk ready for ebay. Didn't know what to expect.

Sell the tail-lights here vs. eBay!!!
Mine are so sun damaged they are about to crumble. It seems like fj55 taillights would have a higher demand than fj45 ones due to shere numbers. I guess it depends on the the proprietor's favorite cruiser model on which gets reproduced.
Amen to that!
We should get first pick. Name your price.
I am always looking for spares.

So how are tail lenses made? Create a mold and pour the plastic? Something to think about.
i'd love to have a set of the yllow/reds

I miss the days when folks just sold stuff they didn't need to folks who did and were honest and straight up. I recently had a good trade here on mud with Cammy but also have had some things very poorly represented that I purchased via mud and decided just to eat it and keep the peace. I know what comes around goes around. Right now the dough would be handy and I don't feel right demanding some crazy price when some one might pay it on Ebay and it is all their own doing. It also provides a small portion of accountability. And I don't like the "BEST OFFER-HIGH BIDDER" deal. Most 'mudders seem like really straight up folks, some are that but are in a business situation where they make a living buying & selling and a few are a bit slippery. I have some other junk that will get posted on this forum when I get some time.

Lets test the market - who would be in for a set of tail light lenses if we could reproduce them?
Would everyone prefer orange/red?
Or red/red?
What price would you be willing to pay assuming quality is on par w/ OEM?

I never got amber/red early FJ55 lights. I'm still interested though. They'd need to be mint in order to make the mold.
Repro red/red 55 lights were already done. I can get em if someone is interested. But I don't stock them.

Cool - how much for the red/red?
How much more would it be to start making orange/red?
Thanks!
Hey now, that's the type of talk we like to here around here. Foxfab, if they come around and are under $70 to my door, count me in.

Uuuh yeah oops, i seem to recall saying i would look into it for you guys but things got a bit busy here trying to get my 55 going and i must've forgotten.
Anyway the landcruiser wreckers about an hour away will have at least a few but i'm sure he could get more, you'd think. i'm not sure of the condition of those that he has. I shall contact him soon and find out what he has.
i also know of a wreck 55 in someones paddock that has been sitting there for atleast a few years and i've been trying to think of a good excuse to buy it now that i have my own 55
as so far i haven't found a good excuse to get it. it may have some good lenses on it, but i can't remember what style they were.lately i've been thinking i should fab up some stainless steel 55 series lense sheilds to protect our rare and valuable lenses. atleast for now to protect my lenses but if i get some interest from you guys and the price of frieght makes it feasable to send some across the world, then i'd be willing to do that.
i've attached a pic of a quick off the top of my head design, obviously wouldn't be blue but that's so you can see it
cheers,
Dan.

Well, the 45 LPB lenses came in at $69 a pair delivered. These are smaller and there should be more of a demand so they should be less. Let me talk to my guy.
And just so everyone knows, my next Cruiser will be a PIG!!
