Metal Cloak

[Irish Pirate]

I ordered the arch fenders tonight. I figure it will take about 3 weeks before they arrive. I've been looking at these for a while. I love the look.

Does anyone have them on their TJ? How was the install? Easy as Metal Cloak says it is? I've watched a couple instal videos and it seems like a pretty simple project.

If you have pictures I would love to see them.

I don't have pictures but I've installed these 5 times and it's probably one of the easiest installs.

That's awesome to hear. What size flares have you put on? I still haven't decided what to go with

 

[YellowJK]

I went with 4 because I like the look and didn't drive much to worry about anything. I like the looks of 6" as well.

I have the Overline fenders with 6" flares on my TJ. Install is simple but difficult if you have to deal with rusted nuts and bolts. Being able to run 33s on a stock lift is pretty cool too!

Without flares

I'm really digging these. If I'd have done all the research i would have went these over the bushwackers.

That's a nice set up that you have

The inner fender well is being shipped bare metal. Did you guys do anything to it. Paint/powder coat it. I like the look of bare metal. Thinking about putting on a clear coat

 

[YellowJK]

Inner is Aluminum. No need to tough it if you like the look.

 

[Irish Pirate]

That works out in my favor... I thought it was all steel or all aluminum. Thanks for the info

Thanks, I left my front inner fenders bare aluminum for a while but I recently painted them black when I undercoated my Jeep.

Brown Santa dropped off my new fenders before I went to work last night. I was like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting to unbox my new present on Christmas morning.

They look amazing. Except I ordered them powder coated. I think the elves got in a hurry and forget to spray them.

It's easy, metal cloak did a great job with instructions..

 

[Irish Pirate]

So I just talked to Metal Cloak. They are overnighting the new fenders with powder coat this time. I've heard a couple nasty comments about the customer service but so far from my experience these guys are great.

Install day..

Got the right fender off... There is always that one bolt that makes you want to beat the designer/engineer silly.

 

[Irish Pirate]

Mock up with the new fender..

Any metal bracket that comes out is being cleaned and painted.

My dad's got Metal Cloak fenders on his TJ. I think they look bad ass!

Got all the old stuff removed. New fenders attached temporarily. Calling it a night and replacing everything tomorrow.
