Yeah the corner peice is part of there rear bumper

but what exactly is the purpose of that?  it just feels to me like you're ruining the bed so you can protect the bed.    I guess if the bed is already pretty rusty it'll hide all that, but it'll also trap dirt/moisture/salt between the new and old steel and likely accelerate the rust.

I was thinking the same thing. Why drill all kinds of holes in a GOOD bedside?

And, more to the point (see my signature line): Why would you take an MJ with a good bed off-road?

To me, the bed corners are a problem point for off-roading much more than the bedsides. Proper installation will avoid any rust in that area. After all, almost every single pinch seam on these rigs is an unfinished, water trapping rust point.
