Here come the rear corners..
Hi all,
Well, I have a pair of steel rear corners coming next week and I've been taking
a good look at the back end of my 93 YJ in preparation for the drilling and
clamping to come, and I've been thinking, "Damn.. what did I get myself into
this time?"
Any advice for a first-timer? I figure if all goes well I'll put some rockers
on the rig next and then go from there, but this is my jeep's first
modification.. should I expect any surprises?
Thanks everyone..

Re: Here come the rear corners..
It is pretty straight forward just clamp them on drill a hole and bolt them
up tight. I did put some silicone behind them to seal them and then ran a
bead around the edges. I have hardly hit the corners since I installed them,
but it is nice to know they are there. Jim F.

Re: Here come the rear corners..
I have often wondered what is best as far as the silicone... seal it up and
trap in moisture or none at all so it drains and dries.

Re: Here come the rear corners..
If I wanted to load my Jeep down with garage, I think I'd
completely silicone it on, no air pockets, much like the rubber door
bumpers that go around passenger cars are now. And like the cars, I
tried to get away without bolting them.
