I think Rear corner guards look sweet. Anyone make em for the JK yet?

[CLACKEY(_!_)]

AEV makes them but not in diamond plate. I'm sure dave at Northridge 4x4 could hook you up.

or quadratec....Here they are.

They are actually on my wish list.

The TJ ones were $80.

$300 is nuts.

[CLACKEY(_!_)]

Like everything else they'll come down. Besides, it's only money!

[BLKRUBI]

Maybe Poison Spyder will come out with some. Competition keeps prices in check.

This guy just did a write up on them. (http://jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=9822)

If corner guards are must have
lets make them! we can produce it at well below any
mfgs. price as long as we have 15 to 20 people or so who would be willing to
split the cost of materials water jet cutting, possible plating and break work.
I can come up with the layout and handle the mfg of these corner guards,
For me the only real question is how should they be mounted, screws or tape?
to make twenty corners would require about 2 to 3 max sheets of thin diamond plate or maybe some brushed stainless $250 a sheet. I will do alittle more home work on this but one 4' by 10' sheet can produce at least 8 sets of corners.
let me know if anybody is interested in taking on the corner challenge

Ooooooooooooo..I want black diamond plate ;)

That is because the $80 ones are plastic. :rollingeyes:



That being said, I'm looking forward to the black plastic ones being available! (What can I say, I'm cheap.....er, uh...I mean thrifty.)

I could care less about em being plastic or metal. They look sweet.

Then what is the point? If they are not going to add any body protection then they are a wast of money. JMO.

[FRDesign]

Wouldn't plastic help prevent dents anyways.

They would offer protection against plastic shopping carts.:yup:

This is one of those items that originated in the rock crawling, where it was needed. Rubber ones are poser gear. On the other hand our stock bumpers are plastic so maybe this makes sense.

[FRDesign]

It would help against scratches and stuff.

[FiveOff]

Actually, even plastic will help with rocks and such since it would distribute contact to a larger surface area. Maybe not AS effective as metal, but for those of us who don't live out west and rock crawl constantly, it would help.

[Ge99ne]

I agree to a point. You'll get a bigger shallower dent. If nothing else you will probably get to keep your paint even with the dent. And on the upside the rubber corner will bounce ack to shape like a saturn car door. The original steel ones, though would let you "rest" the jeep on it's rear corner without significant damage. And on occasion you could come off a ledge & catch a corner. That's when the heavy gauge stuf really earns it's keep.

Yeah, I don't think plastic would help too much with that.

im holding out for some that are designed to be used with the circle LED dot tails lights. :yup:
