Hi all
Have kind of an odd question I guess. I recently ditched my rear bumper and installed a delete kit. So far I'm happy with it. But noticed it looks like if I were to come down on a rock my rear corner sheet metal could get pretty bashed up. So I been looking at rear corner armor. Non of the ones I've seen seem to wrap UNDER the rear corner to protect from an upward bash, like they're still counting on a bumper to be there. Or will the armor be strong enough to protect from that. Any thoughts or past experience would be welcome!!! Thanks!!!

 

I haven't seen anything on the market that would protect from a hit like you describe, except a steel bumper that wraps around.

 

you probably want something like this.. offroad evo made these..

 

Hmm. I've looked at some rear corner armor but none had that "rail" at the bottom like those. Wonder if there's any that actually wrap down n under the pinch seam at the bottom. That's the spot I'm concerned with. Thanks for the pics.

 

Stock photos online don't have the rail at the bottom. That must be something else?

 

The lower corners have been modified.

 

Here is mine not modified.

 

Thanks. Any concern about the portion of sheet metal that extends down below the armor? That was my initial concern.

 

Well it would depend on your approach or decent . Also, your rear bumper or even frame would help block impact too

 

You also have to keep in mind that your tires will keep the rear corner off the rocks as well.

My rear bumper takes a beating but it is past where the rear quarter panel is. You can always have your fabricator put a piece of flat steel on the corner. I would it after the corner is installed.
