Product Description Builders running a Jeep LJ quickly realize the longer wheelbase Wrangler still suffers from the same vulnerable rear body corners as the TJ once the vehicle starts seeing serious trail use. Larger tires, increased suspension travel, and aggressive rock crawling can quickly damage the factory sheet metal around the rear corners and tailgate area. The longer LJ body gives builders additional cargo space and stability on the trail, but protecting the rear tub becomes increasingly important as builds become more aggressive. The Motobilt Aluminum Corner Armor for the Jeep Wrangler LJ was designed to reinforce these vulnerable body sections while maintaining the factory wheel well opening and factory tail light configuration. Unlike traditional corner armor setups designed around the factory swing gate hinges, this version uses a solid rear passenger side panel specifically intended for builders running a drop down tailgate conversion. Removing the factory hinge cutouts creates a much cleaner appearance once the OEM swing gate hardware has been eliminated. Constructed from 5052 aluminum, these corners provide body protection while helping reduce overall vehicle weight compared to steel armor systems. The armor follows the factory body lines closely while strengthening the rear tub structure and protecting the body from rocks, ledges, and trail obstacles. Maintaining the factory wheel opening allows the corners to integrate cleanly with existing suspension and tire setups without requiring major body modifications. Like many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication and trail experience. Builders who spend time modifying Jeeps understand how quickly factory sheet metal becomes damaged once vehicles are pushed harder off-road. These corners provide additional protection while helping keep overall vehicle weight lower for builders conscious of suspension tuning, drivetrain load, and trail performance. Motobilt also offers a mat
