JLU Rear Corner Armor
The first aluminum corner armor for the JL! These are precisely formed to match your JL's body from 3/16" thick aluminum plate or 3/16" steel plate (if optioned) for the thickest, most robust corner armor you can buy for your Jeep! If you're going to count on your armor on the trail, you'll want to avoid plastic and thinner gauge metal guards. These are fully compatible with aftermarket or factory rear tail lamps -- which means these *are* compatible with your blind spot detectors if you wish to keep all of your safety features!
As anyone who has repaired trail damage and replaced sheet metal on a Jeep will tell you, it's not a big deal to replace a fender, the hood, or a door since they were meant to unbolt anyways. The body tub technically can be unbolted from everything and replaced; however, it is bolted to everything from the frame, to your steering, brakes, and electrical harnesses. You can now protect and strengthen the largest and most integral piece of sheet metal on your JLU with our Rear Corner Armor set.
Product Details
Unlike previous Wranglers, the JL really has some curves, so we've done everything we can to wrap tightly around them with this corner armor. About the only thing they won't protect on the corner is the tail lights themselves. We've had our fair share of cracked, broken, and even water-collecting JL tail lamps at this point, and recommend pairing our rear corner armor with our JL Flush Mount LEDs for maximum protection.
Drilling of the body tub/ sheet metal and placement of 1/4"-20 "rivnuts" are required for installation on many of the mounting locations as they are not easily accessed from the backside/inside. Some can be accessed on the backside via the fuel door or tail lamp cutouts.
Additional Details
Products are designed and fabricated to fit vehicles that have varying tolerances from the factory, minor hand fitting may be required.
Products are shipped bare metal unless otherwise specified by the customer. Bare metal products may have scratches or surface imperfections as a result of raw material handling, manufacturing, and fabrication. However, these imperfections are easily covered up with a textured powder coat finish. Additional finishing, sanding, and prep work may be required if you wish to also have them finished with a smooth powder coat or paint.
Projected lead times are estimates only, and are subject to changes due to production realities, including material and labor availability and sudden variability in order volume. Lead times are not guaranteed, but we do guarantee that we are hard at work trying to get the best product we can produce and into our customers’ hands as quickly as possible.
All Next Venture Motorsports products are laser cut, CNC formed, and hand-weld with pride in the USA. We are a Colorado-based business, and welcome visitors by appointment at our Grand Junction, CO headquarters. We hope to see you out there on the trail soon!

It was a very simple install, everything lined up grate. On the back Fender, there is about a 3/16 gap. I just could not get it tight enough against the tub. I'll pop it off and put a rubber strip there. All in all very legit product. I'm very happy, definitely worth the wait. I'm probably going to need the rear inner fender soon.

JL Rear Corner Armor was what I needed after a close call when I ripped off my factory fender and tail light. Corner armor fit great with only some minor trimming to factory tail light (will be going to flush mount in the future). I did trim small piece off around the tail gate hinge to make room for Trexflex hinge mount (another future mod). Before it was beer can thick and could be flexed in with push of your finger. Now you simply move the whole jeep when pushing in the rear corner panel. I also love how they perfectly fit up against my Rusty's rear fascia. I did sand a couple thousands off bottom of armor to make room for paint, it was that perfect of a fit. I did have one rivnut spin on me but that was my fault as it was first one and I just didn't have tool set correctly. Install video was good but I still wish there was written instructions. Over all I'm very happy the it.

Great corner guards. Matches the lines on the JL body perfectly. Super easy install.

Ended up using just rivnuts.

parts inspired by the trail
Our team got into the game after rock crawling, wrenching, fabricating and being inspired to design and build parts for what we love to do: hit the trail.
what our customers are saying
★★★★★They invited me and my whole crew in for a tour of the facility on our way to Moab. These guys not only produce amazing armor for your Jeep, they are really good people. So, I’ve been running their rear diff skid for 9 months and it has easily held up to everything I’ve thrown at it.

★★★★★After this go around with Moab and Holy cross, the diff skids did their job and protected my Jeep. My rear aluminum bumper performed phenomenally on the trail!

★★★★★Can’t say enough about Dan and his ultra skilled team! Dan was able to get us in for a skidplate with UHMW & sliders for our JKUR. The fit, finish and quality are just out of this world! Can you say “stacked dimes”? Absolutely gorgeous welds…

★★★★★2 years later I'm writing this review. I've beaten the crap out of this thing hitting rocks, winching, draging it down obstacles, and now exposed to the Florida elements. The bumper looks like it did the day they sent it. You will not find a better company to work with that cares about their clients and their products!

★★★★★My rear Next Venture diff skid takes a beating! Best rear diff skid available. Well done!
Lee Bower
★★★★★Without a doubt, Next Venture Motorsports is my first stop for epic Jeep parts. Their JL aluminum front and rear featherweight bumpers are solidly built, easy enough to install, and crafted to perfection. I can't wait for more products for my 2 door JL!

★★★★★I like it because it lets you use factory fog lights if you want. They also have a featherweight aluminum option that doesn't have holes for fogs and is essentially a stubby bumper. I am very pleased with all of their stuff. [JL/JT Adventure Series Bumper]
