Re: Tail lights; 2nd a dealer option
The second tail light was a dealer option, at least for the CJ-2a. My understanding is that the laws varied by jurisdiction, with some areas requiring two stop/tail lights long before others. I added

Re: Tail lights
Hi Rick G., I won't argue with you on having two tail lights. I was hoping to find the original style lights/mounts and put them on both sides even though it may have only had one tail light. Is it

Re: Rear Main seal
Can't help you with the seal on a 226, but I did the neoprene rear seal on my L-134 about two months ago. Before I did it I was told that it probably wouldn't work if the crank or rear main bearing

Re: Tail lights
David, et al, I know that at some point, it was okay to have only one tail-light. My '48 CJ-2A came with only one, and a second was optional. Actually, mine has 4 now, since someone added a

Re: Tail lights
As I recall, the 48 owner's manual that I have shows only one tail light. Vehicle safety standards have changed in the last 50 years. Sometime before the mid-50's (Service manual published in 1956),

Tail lights
I looked up the tail light issue in my service manual and it shows two tail lights on all models of pickups and wagons. Every pickup I have owned (5) has had a tail light on both sides of the frame.

Matt--How does the "antique plate" work in Kansas. To my notion, they are next to worthless here in Iowa. You can drive it to a show, or in a parade, but that is about it. For display purposes only. I
