Product Description Stretching the rear axle on a Jeep YJ requires more than simply relocating suspension components. Once the axle is moved back 6 inches, the factory rear body becomes a limiting factor for tire clearance, suspension travel, and body protection. Builders often find themselves modifying the rear corners to accommodate larger tires and create the clearance needed for serious off-road use. The Motobilt 6" Stretch Corner Armor with Recessed Tail Light Mounts is designed specifically for Jeep YJ builders moving the rear axle back 6 inches. These corners provide protection for the modified rear body while creating a clean, finished appearance for stretched wheelbase builds. The design complements the body modifications commonly required during a wheelbase stretch and helps protect the rear corners from rocks, obstacles, and trail abuse. Constructed from 3/16-inch 5052 aluminum, these corners provide substantial protection while reducing weight compared to traditional steel armor. For builders focused on keeping vehicle weight under control without sacrificing durability, aluminum armor offers an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings. The armor reinforces vulnerable rear body sections while complementing the modifications commonly found on serious trail rigs. Builders pushing a stretched Jeep YJ into serious trail use quickly discover that factory rear tail lights are vulnerable once larger tires, suspension upgrades, and aggressive departure angles become part of the build. Rear corners are frequently dragged across rocks and obstacles during rock crawling, making exposed factory lighting susceptible to damage. The Motobilt 6" Stretch Corner Armor is designed around a fully recessed tail light system that helps protect the lighting deep inside the armor structure rather than leaving it exposed on the outside of the body. Internal mounting brackets position the lights safely within the corner armor while outer trim rings
