If anyone was wondering about the metalcloak arms I'd say they're pretty darn good. Factory ride with aftermarket flex. Best of both worlds.

Got back yesterday from my first wheeling trip with the new bumper, and I can definitely say it's here to say. Looks great and worked perfectly.

Snorkels on, I was a little hesitant about chopping the hood but everything went smoothly.

I do have one question though, what's the best way to clean up where the cuts were made? I was thinking filing all the edges down then hitting it with a rubber kind of liner to keep water out but jeep it durable for when it's rubbing against the snorkel. Any suggestions?

I used a grinding tool after the main cut to get them all smoothed out an non jagged. Then used rustoliem on the exposed metal

Still liking those MC control arms? Think they're going to be my next purchase.

That's what I was thinking, thanks for the input. I'll get cracking on it tomorrow.
