    Savvy belly pan with Metalcloak oil skid?

    Our TJ Oil Pan Skid is a simple system designed for one purpose... protecting the oil pan from that inevitable impact. The Savvy TJ Skid Plate system is a well designed and comprehensive system that definitely provides more protection overall.

    Nah, it was just laziness. ;-)

    Metalcloak vs Currie / Savvy control arms

    Just for the record... there is no "relationship" between MetalCloak and @bobthetj03... he is simply a long time customer that I appreciated chatting with so decided to send him the new Duroflex Bushings to upgrade the arms that he currently has 30,000+ miles on. There is no agreement or any...

    Metalcloak vs Currie / Savvy control arms

    @Jerry Bransford — always the best pitch-man — makes me wish I had actually given you those fenders you asked for back in 2009. :) As I've stated before, on many different forums, Currie is an outstanding company — without legacy companies like Currie out there making quality products, there...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    They started quietly being introduced in March, as inventory permitted. Kits that shipped in that time frame were only partially Kevlar.

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    Very well stated. And yes, the inventor of the Duroflex joint is very aware of what makes the rubber joint so effective. However, I am not an engineer and try not to pretend to be one on the internet. I can say, however, that the 18 months or so that transpired from the idea of a Duroflex Gen2...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    Part of our testing was whether we could add Kevlar without changing the durometer of the rubber — changing the durometer would, of course, change the overall performance —- because we did not increase the durometer of the rubber the vibration dampening and isolation qualities of the Duroflex...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    Thank you. And, just to clarify the licensing. Someone like GoodYear is paying to have the Kevlar Logo on the side of their tires in addition to making national performance claims with the use of Kevlar. Others, like many of the clothing manufacturers who add kevlar for just performance...

    I need help finding the right bumper

    Thanks Jerry, thought of that one myself. ;-) With so many great options out there for bumpers, when we entered the market we needed something unique, so we went for a modular design that, originally, had over 650 possible configurations. But, I couldn't just call it Modular... booooring... so...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    Great points. As a note, the video is the Metalcloak Minute... just designed for me, as an owner of Metalcloak, a chance to gloss over some basic info like "Backspacing", "Tire Pressure", and now "Kevlar" — more details will probably be shared in future, longer, more in-depth, videos, with...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    There is no immediate reason to replace your current investment, but, like any company that is always trying to improve, we would be fools to never strive for making parts better. It happens all the time to a lesser degree to every one of our other products. Rev changes occur regularly based on...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    No worries... I am not very good at Techno-babble... I leave that to the well-educated engineers. Our expectation is that the Kevlar will increase the long term durability of the joints. As we have seen on the forums and other posts, customers are getting a lot of use out of the existing...

    Metalcloak Kevlar Duroflex Joints

    Come on... bullet proof joints... what could be better!?!? LOL. I will be the first to admit there is marketing value there - Kevlar is a well respected and recognized brand. Afterall, after 8 years, the Duroflex Bushings just deserved a little refresher. We've been blessed with a great run...

In the mean time, install the hood latches, make the the grill is sitting even on both sides and is not twisted in some way, check for any other...

    Anyone with 3" of lift, 33's and Metalcloak overlines?

    That's not a very popular combination. With the Metalcloak fenders you can run 35's with no lift, so 33's with a 3" lift and the Overline fenders would be a lot like a Jeep on roller skates.
