It never fails... About 2 weeks ago, I was saying that I really need some armor like the AEV corners because it was just a matter of time before I bashed them in. Months ago a banged my license plate and pushed it into the drivers corner... but then this weekend... MAJOR ouch. Now I am looking to pound it out, paint and protect and add corners. I would HIGHLY recommend putting on corner protection BEFORE the damage occurs... Of course it wouldnt have helped the door, door jam or fender!

wow it lookes like my jeep back in aug. i onlyhad to fork out 500 ti get it fixed. but it was well worth it.
how well does the corner guards protect? impact wise. i slid sideways on a slope into a root and that caused mine. and i was stopped at the time.

Okay, this site so ROCKS. I keep getting bailed out of so many issues thanks to everyone here. Yesterday after being up for 57 hours I backed into a pillar at a local REI and damaged the rear right. The bumper caved in and the light pressed into the metal, just like the first picture in this thred. I took it to the dealer to get a quote and $1,198.21 later I left. Most of the quote was about what I expected from a dealer but 3.5 hours to take off the hardtop, um yeah. I also want to thank JKKAT for the Mopar link, it's the only place that even listed a tail light and it was about what I was hoping for. After I get the panel fixed it's body armor and a better bumper.

Thanks

Nice side shot, crazy so did the AEV corners just take the abuse and all you needed to have repaired were the door and fender?
