Once the axle is moved back 6 inches, the rear quarter panels require modification to provide proper tire clearance, suspension travel, and body protection. Without armor designed around the new wheelbase, the rear corners become vulnerable to trail damage and tire contact during articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt 6\" Stretch Corner Armor is designed specifically for builders moving the rear axle back 6 inches on a Jeep YJ. These aluminum corners provide protection for the modified rear body while creating a clean transition between the stretched wheel opening and the rest of the vehicle. The design complements the body modifications commonly required during a wheelbase stretch and helps protect the rear corners from rocks, obstacles, and trail abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 3\/16-inch 5052 aluminum, these corners offer substantial protection while reducing weight compared to a steel version. For builders conscious of overall vehicle weight, aluminum armor provides a durable alternative without sacrificing the coverage needed on a serious off-road build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe corners are designed around a drop tailgate configuration and pair with the Motobilt MB1168 Tailgate. They can be used with factory Jeep YJ tail lights or upgraded with Motobilt MB6504 Round Tail Lights depending on the build style and lighting preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication experience. Builders stretching wheelbases, modifying suspension systems, and increasing tire size often discover that factory sheet metal quickly becomes a limitation. These corners are designed to solve that problem while integrating cleanly with the rest of the vehicle. They pair perfectly with the Motobilt MB1231 series rocker guards, allowing builders to create a cohesive armor package for a stretched Jeep YJ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and manufactured in the USA, the Motobilt 6\" Stretch Corner Armor is built for fabricators and off-road enthusiasts creating capable YJ builds that go well beyond factory limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits 1987-1995 Jeep YJ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 6-inch rear axle stretch applications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 3\/16-inch 5052 aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with factory Jeep YJ tail lights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Motobilt MB6504 Round Tail Lights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with a drop tailgate configuration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs with the Motobilt MB1168 Tailgate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with Motobilt MB1231, MB1231-FND, MB1231-S, and MB1231-S-FND rocker guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended for modified vehicles and fabrication-based builds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires cutting and body modification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003cbr\u003e1987-1995 Jeep YJ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial\u003cbr\u003e3\/16\" 5052 Aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e18.5\" H × 11.5\" W × 65.25\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e32 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured\u003cbr\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Motobilt Systems\u003cbr\u003eMB1168 Tailgate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB6504 Round Tail Lights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB1231 Rocker Guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB1231-FND Rocker Guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB1231-S Rocker Guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMB1231-S-FND Rocker Guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Jeep YJ builds utilizing a 6-inch rear axle stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires cutting and modification of the factory body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTest fit all armor components before final installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify tire clearance and suspension travel during mock-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest results are achieved when paired with the MB1231 series rocker guard systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with a drop tailgate configuration and the Motobilt MB1168 Tailgate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the steel and aluminum versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum version is manufactured from 3\/16-inch 5052 aluminum and weighs approximately 32 pounds.
