Great video!! Can you show us how to repair a botched drill hole? Patch/fill, sand, and paint. I'm still catching up on your videos on the other projects, so maybe I'll find my answer there. But basically I installed a small mod on the inside of my tailgate several years ago. Had no idea what I was doing and messed up the drilling. I painted the holes to protect from rust, but I'd really like to repair it without taking it in. They're very narrow holes so I imagine it'll be simple. I'd really like to see you do this because, so far, your instructionals have been amazing!

I know your Jeep looks great now, but so many were saying lift it a while ago and rightfully so. But the one Jeep here on YT that desperately needs a lift is Kyle SVT. That TJ is so cool sitting on 35's with Metal Cloak fenders like yours. His 35's are shoehorned in under that stock suspension / wheel wells. I cringe each time I see that TJ. Enough of that, I just wanted to say, I am not a fan of JKU's and would never even consider it despite the insistence from my wife to get one with our two sons. But your JKU is very cool and extremely well done. Keep up the great work!

Great video to augment the Metalcloak instructions. One strong suggestion: you will need to install many threaded inserts, possibly many more depending on your vehicle configuration. The supplied “tool” is pretty sketchy and prone to causing errors that are difficult to fix. If you use manual strength to install as shown, you will wind up pretty sore. If you use power tools, the inserts will strip. Save all that hassle and use a proper insert tool like this one from Amazon - Astro Pneumatic Tool 1442 13" Hand Rivet Nut Setter Kit, that’s about $50. You’ll also need a properly sized mandrel for the 3/8” threaded inserts, also available from Amazon for $15. There are others that are cheaper, but regardless of which one you use, the inserts will be properly seated without stripping. The tool will pay for itself. Also, a step drill is far superior to standard drill bits for drilling through the sheet metal without binding or tearing and leaves a much smoother finished hole without a burr. It’s much faster too. After center punching, I drilled a 1/8” pilot with a standard bit and then went to the step drill for the 3/8 holes and 1/2” for the threaded inserts. I then chased the 3/8” holes with a standard 3/8” bit for bolt clearance and for the insert holes, finished them with the 17/32” bit that Metalcloak offers. After trying the bit sequence for gradual size increase with standard bits and still having the bit bind and tear the sheet metal, I tried the step drill combination described and didn’t look back. The install of all 4 fenders and rails required more than 50 holes to be drilled and the step drill method was the fast and left a perfect hole that didn’t require additional deburring.

Dont really like the fenders and the armor but that is yours to choose. Also would recomend using a diferent front bumper. A "shorter" one mainly because of the edges and the aesthetic. Poison Spider maybe... I've got ARB front and rear but with that kind of fender its just not a pretty choice. Think about the Roll-bar strenghtning. Keep up the great work!!! PS. Also get a ARB Fridge Freezer when you can. Comes in handy!! heheh

Really enjoying seeing the evolution. Given the path you are on, I would like to see the next step be Metalcloak 6paks and extended brake lines (and bumpstops if needed) to get some droop. I think it would be interesting to see the performance of a long travel shock with the massive tires and the LCOG thing you have going now without the lift. I imagine the limiting factor then will be the stock control arm bushings, which can be fixed with new arms later on.
