You are putting in the work! The TJ is coming along nicely. 🍻

That cable on the battery box is temp sensor for the battery. Not sure if anyone said it but that’s what it is. Thanks for the video. Looks great.

Thank you! You're the first to solve the mystery for me lol.

You are the first person to explain the details of installing fenders, with all the camera work is greatly appreciated, I will be following your advice moving forward, great looking unit , keep up the great work its not easy. thanks a lot Ive watched a shit load of videos you rock!!

Thank you, that means a lot. I was pretty unsure about it all when I started making the videos but I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of it. I had also looked for install videos of these fenders and you are right. No one really actually showed the install. That's why I was so heartbroken when I lost all that footage. I put a lot of work into explaining it all then it was all gone. I'm glad people are still finding the video useful even with that.

For the price of those they should come with detailed instructions and all new mounting hardware that is clearly labeled. They have to know that most of these jeeps are rusty and will need bolts replaced. Nice product but they def need to step up their game

Nice video and thanks again for the stock fender flares

Thanks for this. I will be ordering a set soon. Going to 35s on 3.25 inches. I was wondering about going to 37s, but I was worried about going through ball joints in my front rubicon axle. I’ve already built up steering, brakes, axle shafts, etc. just waiting on tires and gears. I figured I would take it to the RTI ramp after install before making my final decision.

@@zacharyelias4643 that's awesome man! I'm in Ohio so I feel your pain on the drive. I have done it once two years ago. It wasn't long after I got my jeep. Making that trip was kinda what inspired me to buy a jeep and start offroading. I took some videos on my channel of it but I wasn't thinking of them as KZread content like I do now so they aren't great. It's the most fun I've ever had. I loved the road trip, I loved Colorado but man there is something so unique and beautiful about Utah. It made me want to move there. Probably be we are east coast guys and the landscape is just so alien to us but I loved it. I drove the TJ the entire way. As a matter of fact I am talking with a few buddies about going back again this year. Like you, the first time I went I thought it was a once in a lifetime trip but I could never get it out of my head and have been dying to go back.

Looks great! I have pretty much the same jeep and the MetalCloak fenders would definitely be a great mod!

@@lundysgarage yeah that's the plan. It took me over a year to get my axles and tcase. I found a guy in my jeep group who was talking about going to tons and I pestered him forever that if decided to do it I wanted his axles. I kept looking the whole time and could never find any. So he finally decided to do the axles and I got his and sweetened the deal until I got the tcase with them. I really wanted the tcase for my manual transmission to make it easier rock crawling

I think that plug from the battery tray goes to a battery temperature sensor

What did you do to the evap system on the driver side? My tj has a huge canister there and cruise control. But mine is a manual… I don’t know why they have cruise stuff? Can I remove all that “stuff”

Don't paint the fenders. Also you mentioned the tires being heavy. I also bought new tires and wheels and thought if I were by myself out there I would have trouble lifting the spare. So I purchased a small block and tackle to keep in my recovery gear.

Looks as though there are a whole lot of holes letting dirt in after completion!

@WheelinWithWally

5 ай бұрын

Possibly. It's not much worse than a factory fender I don't think. But I also have a louvered hood and used the vented side panels on the fenders instead of the solid ones. It wasn't much of a concern to me. My engine bay definitely isn't spotless but I don't really think it looks any dirtier than it would get before I swapped the fenders.

Looks good I would be interested in the fenders if you decide to sell them

The tires are 35" mickey Thompson baja boss m/t tires. I absolutely love these tires they are excellent. I'm trying to remember back to this video and I think I had 3.5" metalcloak springs on in the video. I have since swapped the rear springs to 4.5" springs. My heavy bumper and gear I'd load in the back was really squatting the jeep. So now I have 3.5" springs in the front and 4.5" in the rear. Both metalcloaks. In most of my video descriptions I have my whole jeep build listed. So if you check out my most recent video it has the current info on my build. I didn't put it in these videos because I was changing out so much stuff my build list was always changing. Thanks for watching!
