Me. I don't like the M. My first name begins with the letter J. My middle name a D. And last name a W. I don't know anyone with the letter M in their name. More specifically, when people walk up to my Jeep and ask me, what's that M for. I'm gonna roll my eyes and ask the same question. Thus, Metal cloak should (and probably will actually) give that option for M or no M. Just like shrockworks does for their sliders.

The lights go in that little circle that's inboard and just a little below the M. What I had said is that from my initial impressions I'd rather lose the M cut-out and instead use that space for a larger light, such as a 2" round LCD. We'll see when the lighting system gets here.

EDIT: This is the spot I'm talking about:

Fire, just wanna say it looks great, but the coolest thing on your JEEP is those state of Texas star and laurel stickers!

For sure

I'm thinking in the future of upgrading to the RE longarms and 35's. Using the Metalcloak fenders for the additional clearance I'll need. Probably won't even need to change bumpstop lengths. It's a ways down the road though.

Those fenders really do look sharp. Having seen these I wouldn't even consider the AEV highlines setup anymore.

Well done sir.

I had originally ordered the 4 inch flare but at the time I was told that only the 6 inch was being offered...then it was changed on me...I will probably need the 6 inch for the winter time...if I feel that it is looking too much like Dumbo the elephant I will purchase the 4 inch for summer use...the one good thing about these flares they are tapered so it my not look too wide...once I get them on I will then dedcide..

I finished installing the rocker guards today, so as promised, here are some pictures. I was very pleased with the finished product, but in this one case they really dropped the ball on the instructions. It is a new product, so I guess that's why; don't let it deter you from getting them though. The rockers are great, and it's not difficult... There are just two bolts per side that you have to install before you put the rocker up to the Jeep... I was nearly finished with one of the sides before I realized, and had to take everything apart... Definitely worth it though!

The rockers look great! Next purchase for sure.

I'll post some pics of mine tomorrow.. I actually painted the fender flares silver on the flare part and black on the tubular parts... It's dark right now, but I am glad that I painted it two colors.

I actually got one of the first sets when they started back up, so it's the old kind which I like better too.

Absolutely, but we are at Off Road Expo right now, so I will take some more product shots on Monday when we are back in the office.

I like the way the bare metal goes with the silver on the Jeep.
