Upgrade the look and protection of your Jeep Cherokee XJ with Rough Country’s Quarter Panel Armor – Rear for XJ 2WD/4WD (1984-1996). This isn’t just a cosmetic add-on; it’s a purposeful shield that keeps your lower rear quarter panels safe from rocks, branches, and road debris as you push beyond the pavement.

Built to last, this armor is crafted from sturdy 11-gauge steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant, textured black powdercoat. That combination delivers long-lasting durability in muddy trails, gravel, and variable weather, while maintaining a sleek, rugged appearance that pairs perfectly with an upgraded rear bumper.

Why this rear quarter armor stands out

• Rigid protection with a purpose: 11ga steel provides reliable defense against trail-side impact and debris that can nick or dent your sheet metal.
• Built to endure the elements: textured black powdercoat resists rust and corrosion, keeping your armor looking sharp after river crossings and off-road scrapes.
• Perfect pairing for bumper upgrades: specifically designed to complement aftermarket rear bumpers, delivering a cohesive, rugged rear-end look.
• Optimized for trimmed fenders: engineered to work with fenders that no longer include the factory flare, ensuring a clean, integrated fit on modern builds.
• Enhances appearance and protection: completes the rear’s aesthetic while adding a first line of defense against rocks, limbs, and debris kicked up by the wheels.

Who this is for

• Off-road enthusiasts rebuilding a Cherokee XJ for trails, rock crawling, or overlanding.
• Owners removing the factory bumper and aiming for a bold, purpose-built rear aesthetic with added protection.
• Builders upgrading the XJ’s rear end to stand up to rough terrain without sacrificing style.
