Every part is CAD-engineered, laser cut, welded and finished in-house, and the company backs its structure and coating with a lifetime warranty.

Extended Corner Guards, Pair - Jeep LJ Wrangler

Steel armour for the rear body corners. They do two jobs at once: protecting the most exposed part of the body and serving as the mounting base for quick-release rear flares.

The aluminum extended guards for the LJ - about half the steel weight.

Specification

• Corner guards: .190" aluminum plate
• Finish: raw aluminum
• Fitment: Jeep LJ Wrangler 2004-2006

Finish - important

The part is supplied raw, with no coating. Aluminum needs no corrosion protection, but it can be painted or bed-lined. Test fit before painting.

Role in the system: the guards can run alone, but are most often bought together with quick-release rear flares (1 1/2", 4", 6" or 8"), for which they are the mounting base.

Homologation: this product carries no European type approval. Road legality after installation is decided by the vehicle inspection station; check before buying if in doubt.

Installation

Easy but time consuming - the manufacturer quotes 4-6 hours. Drilling into the body is required.

A note on vehicle age

TJs and LJs are now twenty to nearly thirty years old. Expect seized bolts and corroded frame threads when removing factory parts - soak the joints in penetrant beforehand and use anti-seize on reassembly. Several reviews of TJ parts are really about this rather than about the part.

We import this product directly from the MetalCloak factory in the USA. Please contact us for the current lead time before placing an order.
