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.

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. -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front.

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.
