Motobilt Back Half Kit Jeep Wrangler YJ 1987-1995

Motobilt Jeep YJ Back Half Kit (1987-1995) For Jeep Wrangler YJ owners looking to enhance their off-road capabilities, the Motobilt Jeep YJ Back Half Kit is engineered with function and performance at its core. This isn't just another aftermarket part; it's the result of over 15 years of refinement and real-world testing by enthusiasts who understand the need for durability and precision. Why Choose the Motobilt Back Half Kit? The journey began when Dan DuBose first back halved his Jeep YJ to create more room for shocks and increase rear ground clearance. This kit transforms your YJ by relocating the frame rails from the factory position in the rear wheel well to beneath the rear floorboard, offering ample space for your coilover shock setups without interference. Plus, you can expect an impressive increase of about 7 inches in rear ground clearance, improving your departure angle significantly. Precision Engineering Every component of the Motobilt Back Half Kit is 3D CAD designed using Solidworks, ensuring a precision fit thats hard to match. The parts are CNC laser cut from robust 3/16 inch thick steel plate, then formed and welded for maximum strength and longevity. The integrated rear bumper features a sleek profile with 3/4 inch thick d-ring mounts, providing both protection and utility. Installation Insights Keep in mind that this kit requires extensive cutting and welding, so it's best suited for those with experience in fabrication. You'll need to cut the frame in half and modify the body below the tailgate to accommodate the new frame. For added structural integrity, connecting your roll cage to the frame rails is highly recommended. Also, note that this kit necessitates the installation of a fuel cell, as the factory gas tank is not compatible.
