Pros Product bolted right in with no problems and worked out perfect. I am running 33" tires with 2" to spare and could have ran 35" tires.
Cons The product took away the stock look of the jeep.
Recommended yes

Comments: The product worked out perfectly. The product claimed to bolt right in and it did, it took me about 4 hours to install both of the fenders. The customer service was amazing even after I purchased the product.

Pros Easy install, gives great clearance
Cons Rear fender flare should have a bit more metal cut out to allow for even better performance
Recommended yes

Comments: The rear flares offer another inch of clearance if the wheel well would be trimmed back apx 1", this would allow for more clearance and could be easily done. I'm not complaining, just offering constructive criticisim...THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT...VERY VERY HAPPY GO OUT AND GET SOME!!!

Pros Clears 35s stock. Well built, bokt on. Quick to remove flairs
Cons Not cheap.
Recommended yes

Comments: Fast shipping, great customer service.

Their textured powder coat is sooooo nice, if your debating on getting it or not just spend the money you won't be disappointed. I got mine bare steel for cost savings, but I kinda regret it now.

Pros Beefy, truly bolt-on, superior clearance, look great
Cons The Price
Recommended yes

Comments: Where to start with the praise? Man let's start with the customer service and shipping. Matson and the boys and MC are awesome. Every time I called they were friendly and helpful. They shipped extremely fast and the fenders were packed so well, they could have survived a tornado.

On to the fenders themselves: the install was a breeze with only a couple hand tools needed. The fenders were truly bolt on. The welds are beautiful, everything fit together w/o modification, and the powder coating was superior. Lastly, the instructions supplied by MC were phenomenal with illustrations/pictures for EACH step.

I run 35s with a 3.5" SL and 1.25" BL and would stuff the tires at full articulation. With the arched tubes from MC, it looks like I am running 33s on the same setup.

If you are on the fence about purchasing these, go ahead and get em. You won't be sorry.

Pros Fits 35.s with stock suspension
Cons none
Recommended yes

Comments: The installation was not difficult. This product was a true bolt on. I installed the arched fenders with 6 inch flares in the front and mod cuts in the rear with flares to match. I also installed the rocker rails to match. The whole install was very straight forward.

Pros Bolt on, looks B.A., great quality, excellent service.
Cons none
Recommended yes

Comments: While planning my YJ, I saw a build on a forum with amazing fenders :drool: Those bad boys bridged the gap between running large tires with room to flex and a low center of gravity, in short, they needed to be mine. I sent the poster a PM and he introduced me to Metalcloak :wolverine:. I soon ordered a complete set with overline fenders, rockers, mod cut rears and 4" flares, all powdercoated black. Metalcloak does a great job updating the 'My Account' page, so you can see progress and shipping. Everything came in perfectly labeled packages, wrapped very well, so as not to damage the powdercoat, before a trail does. Everything went on so easy, it was refreshing. If other kit manufacturers had such thoroughly detailed instructions I could've saved so much time, frustration learned a lot less curse words while updating the rest of her :brickwall. Metalcloak truly makes a bolt on kit, the only snafu for me was that a couple of bolts were missing from the rocker hardware package, a quick call to Matson, and they were overnighted the next day, with a long sleeve Metalcloak shirt thrown in! :thumbsup: Overall product quality is outstanding, looks are amazing and customer service sets the bar to where every Jeep vendor in our community should aspire to achieve. Thanks guys, awesome stuff!

Oh I'm running a RE 2.5" with 35s and still have a boatload of clearance.

Pros Incredible
Cons None
Recommended yes

Comments: Install was easy and I'm not the best mechanic. Makes room for my 33's on stock suspension and allows it to breath and work the way it's supposed to. I get more articulation now with factory components than I could imagine.

Pros Great product.
Steel.
Love the look.
Cons nothing
Recommended yes

Comments: I originally bought these because i loved the look and like the idea of them being about the size of an overline kit but without the price of an overline kit. The look great and allow great flexing.

Pros Looks awesome, not hard to install. Also came with a more expensive, aluminum option.
Cons Side markers are harder to see than I like, hood is catching on the flares/hood latches.
Recommended yes

Pros Sturdy, Beefy and total clearance for wheel flex
Cons Slightly not DOT legal
Recommended yes

Comments: I ordered in raw metal and I had a hard time painting them. awkward. Unless you plan on taking them to a paint shop or have your shop get them already powder coated. They installed easily but instructions are not too clear. They look great and have complete clearance.

Pros Easy install and great customer service.
Cons none so far
Recommended yes

Comments: Took roughly 2 weeks after ordering to receive my shipping notice, arrived at my doorstep in 3 days. These were easy to install and do not require cutting or welding. There are some things such as wiper reservoir that may need to be relocated but the aluminum inner fender allows easy relocation, just drill out a new hole where you need it. I have not put flares onto it yet but from the looks of it they just bolt into two holes on the fender. Seems super legit. I spoke with customer service multiple times, Will is an outstanding guy. If you feel you have any questions do not hesitate to call as they will readily be happy to help. I ordered Raw Material and painted them myself so I cannot comment on the quality of Powder Coating.

Pros great instructions, easy to install cutting required, fits nicely
Cons None found
Recommended yes

Comments: I bought both front and rear 8" Metalcloak fenders. Mine were unpainted as I wanted to paint my the same white of my Jeep. After removing all the connected items in the engine area that was attached to the inner fenders and removing the old fenders, the installation of the new fenders went smoothly. The instruction show you were to install these items on the new fender wall plus they supply plenty of bolts, washers, and nuts plus a few small brackets to use for windshield bottle and horn mounting. I purchased the dual LED marker light kit which was easy to install with the downloadable instructions.
