Don't underestimate the issue with the back quarter panels. The only seal it has is a piece of 1/2" foam. Take the tail light off and look inside and you will see the potential for a rust fest back there.

I vote #1 for the most needed mod and although we have 10 styles of bumpers, we don't have one fix for that. Does this seem somewhat backwards?

Default Foam in the quarterpanel???

I never saw any foam in the quarterpanel. Guess I will have to look . You think the foam could be removed so it doesn't collect water and mud or is it there to keep the quarterpanels shape?

TJ's had the same problems..

I think we have a 10 year warranty on rust, if I'm not mistaken.

I know I didn't have it in my YJ. Just the piece of plastic that covered up the back corner. It was hollow in there.
