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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 3\/16-inch A36 steel, these corners are built to withstand the abuse that comes with rock crawling and aggressive trail use. The heavy-duty steel construction helps protect the rear quarter panels from impacts while complementing the body modifications commonly required during a wheelbase stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilders 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 create a clean finished appearance that complements the overall build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese corners are designed around the Baja Designs S2 auxiliary light platform and the Motobilt recessed tail light system. The compact S2 package allows the lighting to be integrated cleanly into the corner armor while maintaining a functional and protected rear lighting solution for stretched Jeep YJ builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe corners are also designed around a drop tailgate configuration and pair with the Motobilt MB1168 Tailgate. Together, these components create a cohesive rear body package for builders modifying their Jeep beyond factory limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication experience. Builders stretching wheelbases, increasing tire size, and modifying suspension systems often discover that factory sheet metal quickly becomes a limitation. These corners solve that problem while integrating cleanly with the rest of the build. They pair perfectly with the Motobilt MB1231 series rocker guards, allowing builders to create a complete armor package from the rocker panels to the rear corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTail lights and Baja Designs S2 auxiliary lights are sold separately. Motobilt recommends Tail Light Kit MB6504.\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 Jeep YJ builds for serious trail use.\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 A36 steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the Motobilt recessed tail light system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Motobilt Tail Light Kit MB6504\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned around Baja Designs S2 auxiliary lights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaja Designs S2 lights sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTail lights sold separately\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\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\" A36 Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e18.5\" H × 11.5\" W × 65.25\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003e95 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 Tail Light Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaja Designs S2 Auxiliary 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 welding, painting, or powder coating.\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\u003eDesigned for use with the Motobilt recessed tail light system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned around Baja Designs S2 auxiliary lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTail lights and auxiliary lights are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the Motobilt MB1168 Tailgate.\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are these corners designed for a 6-inch stretch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese corners are specifically designed around moving the rear axle back 6 inches on a Jeep YJ.
