YJ
When stretching the rear axle on a Jeep YJ, the factory quarter panels quickly become a limitation. Moving the axle rearward improves wheelbase and vehicle stability, but it leaves the factory bodywork unsupported and vulnerable to trail damage. Builders often find themselves cutting and modifying the rear corners to create the clearance needed for larger tires, increased suspension travel, and proper chassis packaging.
The Motobilt 6" Stretch Corner Armor is designed specifically for Jeep YJ builders moving the rear axle back 6 inches. These corners provide protection and coverage for stretched wheelbase builds while creating a clean transition between the modified body and rear wheel opening. The design accommodates the body modifications commonly required when stretching a YJ and helps protect the quarter panels from rocks, trail obstacles, and tire contact during suspension articulation.
Constructed from either 3/16-inch A36 steel or 5052 aluminum, these corners are built to withstand the demands of serious off-road use. Whether your Jeep is a dedicated rock crawler or a highly modified trail rig, these corners provide the strength needed to protect the body while complementing the overall chassis layout of a stretched build.
Like many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication experience. Builders pushing beyond factory limitations often need components designed around how modified vehicles are actually built. These stretch corners work perfectly with the Motobilt MB1231 series rocker guards, allowing builders to create a cohesive armor package while extending the wheelbase of their Jeep YJ.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Motobilt 6" Stretch Corner Armor provides a durable solution for builders looking to maximize wheelbase, improve capability, and protect the body during aggressive off-road use.
