Rear corner armor for Jeep JK Unlimited 4 Door built from 3/16 inch steel with flush mount tail light cutouts and full rear quarter panel protection.

The rear corners of a Jeep JKU take abuse. Tight trail sections, ledges, rocks, and trees all seem to find the sheet metal behind the rear doors and around the taillights. Builders know those factory corners and taillight housings are vulnerable, especially once the Jeep starts seeing serious off-road use. This armor was built to solve that problem while improving the rear body layout at the same time.

The Motobilt Rear Corner Armor for Jeep JK Unlimited 4 Door wraps the factory rear quarter panels and corners in 3/16 inch steel armor designed to take hits that would otherwise damage sheet metal. Rather than simple flat plate armor, these corners use a multi-stage formed design to follow the factory body contours around the taillight area and rear corners for a tight, precise fit. Countersunk mounting holes and flush stainless hardware keep the armor smooth so rocks do not catch on exposed fasteners.

This system also addresses two common factory weak points by eliminating the factory taillights and factory license plate mounting location. The armor is cut for 4 inch round grommet-style flush mount taillights and covers the factory license plate opening, allowing builders to rework the rear layout while adding protection. It is armor designed with both function and fit in mind.

Designed and formed by builders who understand both fabrication and trail abuse, this corner armor protects vulnerable body panels while integrating cleanly into a serious Jeep JK build. Protection matters, but so does how the parts fit the vehicle. This system was built for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a 2 door Jeep JK?

No. This rear corner armor is designed specifically for 4 door Jeep JK Unlimited models and does not fit 2 door JKs.

Do factory tail lights work with this armor?

No. This system eliminates the factory taillights and is designed for 4 inch round grommet-style flush mount tail lights.

Does this include tail lights?

No. Tail lights are not included. The armor is cut to accept many common 4 inch round lights using grommets.

Why are the mounting holes countersunk?

Countersunk holes and flush hardware keep bolt heads from hanging up on rocks or obstacles and help maintain a smooth armor surface.

Do I need to relocate the license plate?

Yes. The armor covers the factory license plate opening, so a relocation solution is required.
