Default Quarter armor thor Jcr panel

Here are some pics of the rear quarter panel armor from THOR. Theese things are sweet and I highly recommend them. I finally have tailights that I could swap for $7 in 5 seconds. No more red tape over the stock tailights. The armor is solid, no complaints. Install was a breeze. The only thing that I wanted to point out is that although the fit is perfect you will be left with a gap below the hatch where the top of the factory tailight would be. That part is not flush and unlike JCR they do not supply a cover panel for it. Does not bother me and I like that unlike JCR they dont have the 3rd light hole on the side which I would not like. Here are some pics.

I don't think its street legal without a side marker light. Pretty easy fix though.

Unfortunately, most states (including mine) require a side marker.

That's what I'm wondering. These don't seem exactly street legal as much as I would like to throw them on my rig

I think the lower spot would be for a small 2" reverse light, looks like he blacked it out.


Also, reflectors?

Fortunately for me cops doth bother us around here with stuff like that (I guess they have their hands full with more important stuff). We also have no annual inspection in Illinois. I did not want the side marker, but if you need one you could stick one on there no problem. Also JCR version makes one with hole for side marker. As far as being legal You could easily tap into the hitch wiring and use the large re light as running/stop/turn signal (just like on the trailer). And put white reverse lights in the small bottom opening. I did not do that. I am using the upper light as running/Stop and the lower blacked out ones as turn signals. I left the reverse light wires exposed and might use two Hellas mounted to the roof rack as reverse one day. I dont need them now as the only 2 wheeling spots around here close at dusk. Sucks.
