The longer LJ body works well for cargo space and trail stability, but the factory tail lights remain exposed to rocks, trees, and trail obstacles during rock crawling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"988\"\u003eThe Motobilt Corner Armor for the Jeep Wrangler LJ was 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 inside the corner armor while an outer trim ring creates a clean finished appearance similar to the Motobilt Bobbed Bed and El Jefe 15-inch stretch corner systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eThese corners are specifically designed around the Baja Designs S2 auxiliary light platform rather than the larger Squadron lights used on larger stretch corner systems. The smaller S2 package allows the recessed tail light system to fit properly within the dimensions of the factory-length LJ tub without major body modifications. Builders wanting protected rear lighting on a standard-length LJ now have a clean integrated solution designed specifically for this platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1754\"\u003eThe rear passenger side panel eliminates factory tailgate hinge cutouts for builders using a drop down tailgate conversion. Once the factory swing gate hardware is removed, the solid corner design creates a much cleaner rear body profile that better matches heavily modified trail builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"2100\"\u003eConstructed from 3\/16-inch A36 steel, these corners are built for real off-road abuse and reinforce vulnerable rear body sections while maintaining the factory wheel well opening. Like many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication and trail experience by builders who understand how Jeep platforms evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2102\" data-end=\"2226\"\u003eTail lights and Baja Designs S2 auxiliary lights are sold separately. Motobilt recommends tail light kit part number MB6504.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-section-id=\"4wqru4\" data-start=\"2228\" data-end=\"2251\"\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul

data-start=\"3958\" data-end=\"4034\"\u003eWhat makes this tail light system different from factory LJ tail lights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4036\" data-end=\"4245\"\u003eThe lights are recessed inside the corner armor structure rather than mounted exposed on the outside of the body. This helps protect the lights from rocks, trail obstacles, and body damage during off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1nx90oy\" data-start=\"4247\" data-end=\"4326\"\u003eWhy does this system use Baja Designs S2 lights instead of Squadron lights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4328\" data-end=\"4551\"\u003eThe smaller Baja Designs S2 light package allows the recessed tail light system to fit properly within a factory-length Jeep LJ tub. Larger Squadron lights would require significant modifications to fit in this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"j2ymyk\" data-start=\"4553\" data-end=\"4603\"\u003eAre the lights included with the corner armor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4605\" data-end=\"4733\"\u003eNo. Tail lights and Baja Designs S2 auxiliary lights are sold separately. Motobilt recommends tail light kit part number MB6504.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1wmlu9o\" data-start=\"4735\" data-end=\"4807\"\u003eCan I buy just the tail light assembly with the Baja Designs lights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4809\" data-end=\"5036\"\u003eNo. The recessed tail light assembly is not sold separately. The complete corner armor system is required because the internal mounting structure and recessed light brackets are integrated directly into the corner armor design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"pp5pce\" data-start=\"5038\" data-end=\"5109\"\u003eWhy does this corner armor not have factory tailgate hinge cutouts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5111\" data-end=\"5301\"\u003eThis version is designed for builders using a drop down tailgate setup instead of the factory swing gate. Eliminating the hinge cutouts creates a cleaner appearance on the rear corner panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"2n6rrw\" data-start=\"5303\" data-end=\"5361\"\u003eDo I need to drill into the Jeep tub to install these?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5363\" data-end=\"5439\"\u003eYes.
