Convert your Jeep JLU or JT B-pillars into removable sections with the Motobilt B-Pillar Chop Kit. Designed for aftermarket cage and half door builds.

Running half doors changes the look and feel of a Jeep, but the factory B-pillars often remain as a visual reminder of the original body structure. For builders running aftermarket cages and half doors, the factory B-pillars can interrupt the open-air appearance many are trying to achieve.

The Motobilt Removable B-Pillar Chop Kit was developed for builders who want a clean, professional way to convert the factory B-pillars into removable sections. The kit includes laser cut and CNC formed steel cap plates that finish the cut ends of the factory pillars while creating a strong mechanical connection between the upper and lower sections. The fastening system is designed to minimize movement and rattles while allowing the upper B-pillars to be removed and reinstalled as needed.

Designed for both Jeep Wrangler JLU and Jeep Gladiator JT applications, this kit integrates with an aftermarket roll cage by mechanically attaching the upper B-pillar section directly to the cage structure using the supplied rivnuts and hardware. When the upper pillars are removed, the mounting system remains hidden for a clean appearance.

The kit also includes seat belt blank-off plates that cover the factory front upper seat belt mounting locations. Because the factory B-pillar structure is modified during installation, front seat belts must be mounted to an aftermarket roll cage rather than the factory pillar structure.

This is not a bolt-on accessory. Cutting, welding, drilling, and fabrication are required. The result is a cleaner side profile, improved open-air appearance, and a removable B-pillar system designed specifically for cage-equipped Jeep builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I make the B-pillars removable?

Builders running half doors often want a cleaner and more open appearance. Removing the upper B-pillars creates a more open side profile while still allowing the pillars to be reinstalled when desired.

Can I use this kit with the factory roll bar?

No. This kit is designed to work with an aftermarket roll cage. The upper B-pillars attach directly to the cage structure using the supplied mounting hardware.

Does this work on both the Jeep JLU and Jeep Gladiator JT?

Yes. The kit is designed for both platforms. However, the instructions are based on a JLU installation. JT builders should use the actual half doors to determine the final cut location rather than following the level-marking method shown in the instructions.

Can I reinstall the B-pillars after they are removed?

Yes. The system is designed so the upper B-pillars can be removed and reinstalled while keeping the mounting hardware concealed for a clean appearance.

Can I continue using the factory seat belt mounting locations?

No. Once the B-pillars are modified, front seat belts should be mounted to the aftermarket roll cage. The included blank-off plates cover the original mounting locations as a safety reminder.

Is this a permanent modification?

Yes. The factory B-pillars must be cut during installation. Once modified, the vehicle cannot be returned to its original factory configuration.
