Overview
The Poison Spyder B-Pillar Armor, bare aluminum, part number 18-70-010, is a 3/16 inch aluminum cover for the B-pillar of the 4-door Jeep JK. It continues the protection of JK Body Armor up the B-pillar, and it is shaped to sit snugly next to the JK 4-door body armor or Brawler Rockers. The fitment is written for the Jeep JK, 4-door models.
The B-pillar can be exposed to tree branches, brush and canyon walls on the trail. This cover adds one more layer over that area. It is a measure of protection rather than a fully armored pillar, and it will not make the Jeep’s B-pillars bomb-proof.
Key features

- Shaped to fit snugly with JK 4-door body armor or Brawler Rockers
- Covers the B-pillar of the 4-door JK
- Countersunk stainless steel flat-head bolts
- Nut-serts for the installation

Trail exposure and upkeep
Rocker and pillar armor works by taking the first hit from branches, rock and brush so the vehicle body underneath does not get scraped. Once the armor is in place, the seams where it meets the body and the rockers are the places to check. Mounting holes can loosen over time, and a bolt that backs out can let the cover shift on rough terrain.
Bare aluminum shows scratches sooner than painted metal. Some owners clean the surface and apply a suitable paint or powder coat, and this should be done before the cover is bolted on so the fasteners and nut-serts stay clean. After a hard trip, look over the cover for cracks around the cut edges and any bends in the metal, and retighten fasteners as needed.
- Check bolt tightness after the first few trail outings
- Inspect the cover edges for cracks or bends
- Look for gaps between the cover and the adjacent armor
