I’ve had the truck since June and use it to haul vintage motorcycle and scooters. Was rolling a scooter up the ramp when the kickstart hit the passenger side tail light and cracked it badly. Cost 900 (after tax) to replace. Any suggestions on what I can use to protect these incredibly expensive tail lights? Thanks.

Wow that's rough. Who would think a taillight today's day and age would cost almost $1,000.

Maybe there's a couple of totaled Rangers in A yard somewhere you can buy a tail light from.

Already purchased at that was at a discount. Now I’ve got to figure out how to protect them.

I believe that I will be in the market for a 4-piece set as well. Whew, $900!

Does anyone else know of anything aftermarket yet?

If you just want to protect while you’re loading/unloading, maybe some sort of hinged guard that mounts to the threaded holes just inside the back of the bed?
