It’s nice to see a woman who isn’t acting stupid. This gal actually understands the gear. Well done technical video. And regarding the comments about safety gear; from a woman who’s been an engineer for 37 years... the comments should be aimed at the Metal Cloak staff. They are the pros. They should make sure anyone working in their shop follows basic safety practice.
“Peter Dinklage - Space Pants”... look it up. Was that inspiration for this days wardrobe? Totally kidding! Looking forward to your all’s trip on the Rubicon! Definitely one of my bucket list items...
Great to see you went with MetalCloak! I have the same kit but with Fox 2.0 shocks, then as you stated it's easy to add on to the build. I have now added the full control arm package, which just improved the ride that much more. Looking forward to your videos on the Rubicon. And damn!!! Brittany has a good handle on using tools ;-)
Nice can't wait to see the video. I live super close to the Rubicon trail and your videos have inspired me to get a jeep. I cant wait to hit the Rubicon myself.
I don't understand most of what you're talking about but I completely understand. Does that make any sense at all ??!! Love how you explain what the components are about and why they work and why you replaced them. I'm learning slowly...
Another great video! Best parts, track bars and drive shaft. I did a 4 inch on my last rubi and had to do both drive shafts and track bars. Shorter wheel base more issues, but loved it. Can't wait to see the Rubicon video.
I like how informative you are on all the parts your installing. I'm a little behind yaw on my build with my 08 but I hope to see lite-brite on the trail.
Good choice of lifts. I made the unfortunate mistake of getting a Rough Country 3.25 lift on my previous 13' JK. It was absolute garbage and cause issues right up until I got rid of the Jeep. The company didn't want to help out either, so I suggest anyone who is looking, to spend the extra cash and avoid lots of headaches.
With our laws and no tire sticking out of the side of fender flares, I'm going with Metal Cloak's fenders and flairs on a project in the near future. 4" for trails and 8" to keep the LEO's off my back.
I just installed the 3.5" Teraflex spring kit with Falcon shocks. It was a pre-release kit. Glad to see these kits are finally being released. Before now, Skyjacker and a few hockey puck kits were the only ones available.
did the same with 37's, a little to harsh for me on gravel/dirt 2 tracks. going to put the 3.5" MC coils in. What is your opinion on your TF ride? I will keep the falcon 2.1 but just change out coils.
Jeff huschitt You’ll want to make sure your tire pressure is 28-30 psi max with these and any 37” tire. Makes a 100% difference in ride. The TF springs are a little stiff for most people’s taste. My lift is a tad high for me. (Ended up being a true 3.5”). If you want a great lift with good shocks... look at the dynatrac 2”. Comes with fox shocks. You could then sell whichever shocks you don’t want to keep.
Jeff huschitt I’m measuring 51” from the bottom of the hood line (near the antenna) to the ground. Progressive springs are suppose to ride really well. You might try googling them.
That was so awesome to witness! Can’t wait to see how it does off-road! And I like the way u grin at the camera suddenly at times hahaha. And u n Kevin actually work on your vehicle yourselves. Totally rad, mannn! 🤟🏽😏
Aswome job on the jeep guys.. The thing looks bad ass. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.. Cant wait to see what the jeep will do now on the trails...😁😁
Good looking lift kit. I know they make great stuff. We are looking at the rock Krawler kit pretty closely for ours. Nice to have a vehicle hoist to install that 😀
This video was very well done. You got so many angle shots that it feels like you replaced the instructions it may come with. :-) well done. Makes me want to buy a JLU :-)
Get all the metal cloak control arms on it and ride even better. I have gamechanger 3.5 with rock sports on mine. Now all u need is the Metal Cloak fenders and ur set 😉
Another great video. I'm looking foward to the video from your adventures on the Rubicon and see how well all the upgrades perform. I was glad to find out about Metalcloke, I know when the time comes they will be high on my list.
I honestly could care less if it was free or if you paid for the kit. All I wanted to add was I kept expecting Inspector Gadget to pop out everytime the background music played.
Just purchased this kit in 2.5". Cannot wait.adding 285/75r17 Nitto RG on as well. It's a daily driver with some off-road use. Want to keep wheel weight down.
Currently have two JLUR's at my local dealership with broken welds at the track bar mount. Might take a look at yours to make sure its solid before you get to far off the beaten path.
I’m installing this lift this weekend then undercloak. Building a “Step Mild” my wife gives me a look every time I watch your videos 👀 what you buying now?! Oh ya ordered milestars too.
Awesome video as usual my friends. Brittany u can take the girl out of Texas but u can't take Texas out of the girl.love all u do.we travel around doing trails too and we are from Texas but we don't do videos. We do take pictures of the scenery on the trails but videos or posting on u tube.we watch u guys and besides it just takes to much time consuming posting and editing videos we will leave that to u guys.
Bad Kevin ! Shade tossed twice at Lite Brite. :(. You should thank your lucky stars to have found a partner that so enthusiastically supports your motor sports passion. At the same time I was marveling at how technically literate and well researched your mods are presented. And Lite Brite as a 'presenter' effortlessly dialogues the process. Bravo ! She is an excellent role model for women and men ! I understand that your location is prime for off roading, but the after market does present a wide variety of choices. Maybe you could mention in passing how you decided on one product over another, seperating the diamonds from the coal. It does appear that all your choices are top quality and very well manufactured. Looking forward to your trail test.
If you decide to replace your damaged GoPro and you choose the GoPro Session 5, make sure you save the plastic mount on the package because it fits perfectly in the JL's center dash tray. I just set mine in to face forward or back, but the way you guys off-road, you might have to hold it down with Velcro. On second thought, you'll probably have to secure yours with 1/2 inch bolts!
Make no mistake about it. You guys probably sell more jeeps and jeep parts than anyone. I watch your videos because they are #1 entertaining, #2 informative, #3 honest in your assessment of the jeep and the mods that you do. Keep up the great work. You guys are also helping me build my bucktlist of places that are a must go when my wife and I start our jeep travels.
Going threw memory lane this is why metal cloak is on my jeep lol. Now i am building it for my son since i had a accedent. So if you no where i can get parts for a steal or give aways would be appreciated.😅
I am looking at running their 2.5" gamechanger rocksport edition on my 2 door JKR with 35"s. That is of course if I don't end up getting a JL Rubi first
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784 we will what the come out with for transmission option for the diesel engine. I anticipate a diesel release in second quarter FY19. Once I know if they are going to offer a manual option then I will make a decision. I love the new six speed in the JL and it's super smooth but I am also very impressed with the auto so that will be the other decision I have to make. What are your thoughts on the auto vs the manual?
Good to hear! I recently installed a new Synergy MFG lift on my Jeep and the adjustability has been so great. You'll for sure be happy with the MC, one of the best in the game.
Too long between vids! I was going through “LBW”, Lite Brite Withdrawal! Good choices, actually had to do some work on my own Wrangler waiting for this video.
So why the front drive shaft? My OEM JLU DS has zero clearance issues with your exact MetalCloak lift. I've already run the Rubicon twice, Barrett Lake trail twice, and done a fair amount of the Sierra Butts. No issues. Is it the UnderCloak system or exhaust crossover that gets too close or is MC worried about the Rzeppa joint self clearancing and imploding? I will change my shafts once I install my UD60's, but this would be good info for folks, as the aftermarket is not suggesting driveshaft changes like they did with the JK.
Immediately called @TrailJeeps to order & install this kit after watching this. Lone Wolf looking for a pack(Jeep Club)! (32’s with lockers f/r, and plenty of experience)
lunneborgc Oh man, the footage got missed, I apologize! I’ll include it in another video!! In the meantime though - The bottom of the front bumper went from 23”1/2 to 25”1/8. And the rear bumper went from 31”7/8 to 33”. This was with the Jeep fully loaded down for our trip!
After seeing so many over-stuffed wheel-wells on the net, It's nice to see a well proportioned lift/tire combination on a JLU ! Brittany you deserve a good (form fitted) mechanic's jump-suit to work on this JEEP. Have you guys re-geared the diffs ? Your Dayna's are stout - unlike the 30's on the front of JK's, but re-gearing would assist when pulling away from a stop as will as lower that all -important craw ratio.
The larger tires produce taller over-all gearing which will net 80mph at a lower RPM. However, after seeing your first day wheeling in California, I'm convinced that your JKU came with a 4.10 ratio rather then the 3.73 or the V/6 now has a LOT more power.
Kevin, you are in a position to look at your tachometer and speedometer and compare the readings to this chart for the V6: www.extremeterrain.com/regear-jeep-wrangler-explained. Hopefully, with the additional ratios of the new 8 speed, your JL will beat this chart!
This man only cares about showing off his wife or who ever. He cares nothing about safety. Your opinion seem so logical,but unfortunately he's too dumb to see that.
@@Michael-ln9mc You mean, "scalped like white man". Native peoples didn't start that horrific practice. Racist white people did that right after they raped and pillaged tribal villages.
Gotta pull that hair up, agree with the others, wow, very scary indeed. You could have literally ripped your scalp apart in seconds with that many hands and eyes not paying attention to your hair - which is hard to imagine, but it happens. Still like the part being installed at 4:50.
All i'm gonna say is there's a dad out there that raised his daughter right... thanks for the great videos on the jeep!
You guys were crazy even before the tires and lift. This is going to be fun to watch.
Ha ha, yeah I'm looking forward to see what they can do with the new setup. :)
What a doll. Loves offroading and not afraid to to join in the fun. I want someone just like her.
Not that it wasn't already a beast...but your Jeep is looking even more awesome with your mods. Love it.
Brittany you never fail to impress with amount of knowledge and the enthusiasm you have. You kill it in all your videos 🖤💟🖤!

Welcome to the club. I've been running the Metalcloak 3.5 game changer with 6 pak shocks. Lift has been great so far.
I got a little emotional when the Step Child went on the ramp...😜

I wish I’d had that lift on myJL when I did Poison Spider last week. Glad to hear the ride is good. Looking forward to you running the Rubicon

Now you’ll want to go all in to a Gamechanger. My17 JKU drives awesome. 80+ mph. No problem.
Did I see a dewalt battery on a Milwaukee cordless drill?🤣 y’all have a new follower!👍🏼
I like how informative you are on all the parts your installing. I'm a little behind yaw on my build with my 08 but I hope to see lite-brite on the trail.
Madden McCall Thank you! I’m sure we will sometime! Just stay tuned on the channel so you know where we’ll be!
that ramp is bad assssssssss

That’s a bad ass lift gadget there towards the end, you could charge the neighborhood rugrats a Buck a ride and help pay for more trips
I ordered a game changer almost two weeks ago. I hope it hurrys up in time for Moab in a few weeks. Looks good

It’s so gold and pretty! Also isn’t it amazing how much of a difference a quality lift will make? Go beat it up on the Rubicon, it’s an amazing trail.

That portable caster gauge is awesome... what kind is that ?? Thx again. Scott
Nice video, Cant wait for my JL!
Maybe partly a better ride due the extra weight of the skids not sure. Great video guys.
also 6 degrees of caster. i wonder how much caster is stock
Looks so much better now with the added height. Let’s those 38s breathe.
Hell to the yeah
Should of just gone with the Game Changer. Having all 8 adjustable CAs is invaluable, especially at 3.5" of lift.
