5. With your thumb, press on the release tab of the
taillight harness plug, and separate it from the vehicle
harness. Set the OE taillight assembly aside.
NOTE: The next 3 steps pertain to Trail Corners with
LED taillight holes. If installing Trail Corners made for
use with the stock taillights, skip the next 3 steps.
6. Observe the Jeep’s body sheetmetal around the
taillight opening. Note that there are two raised areas in
the upper right and lower right corners (for the driver’s
side taillight--opposite for the passenger side), where the
threaded inserts for the taillights are installed. These raised
areas, along with the indented flange section between them
along the right vertical edge of the taillight hole, will have
to be removed for proper fitment of the Trail Corner and
clearance for the LED taillight. Use a fine-tip felt marker
to outline the area to be removed, as shown in Figure 3.
7. Use the tools of your choice to cut the body sheetmetal
along your cut mark. Note that part of the cut goes
through double-thick sheetmetal and may be difficult to get
through. A pneumatic body saw or cut-off wheel may be
ideal for this task.
8. Use a file or sander to smooth the edges of the cut
sheetmetal. It is important to remove any burrs or sharp
edges which may snag, fray or cut electrical wires over
time. Use some touch-up paint or clear-coat to seal the
bare metal around the edge of the cut, to protect it from
rust in the future.
9. Place masking tape around the edges of the area
the Trail Corner will cover, to protect the Jeep’s paint during
the installation process, as well as the rear fender flares.
10. Place one of the Trail Corner sides over the corner of
the Jeep. Use a measuring tape to ensure that the distance
between the top edge of the Trail Corner and the top edge
of the Jeep’s tub is the same from front to back, and securely
clamp the Trail Corner into place. It is important to ensure
that the Trail Corner is securely clamped into place, that it
won’t loosen the clamps once you begin drilling.
