Default Overlands

I just got mine, love 'em. Had someone do the install, I don't like the nutserts. Had a Smittybilt front bumper and switch to PSC brawler lite. Like the stubby look better.Very solid flares.

Sounds like that's not an issue and the overlands are way stout. Will and Matt are great guys and always available for questions. Only downside was Northridge not being a dealer and no free shipping.
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but do you know why MC won't let some of the larger vendors sell their product? For the price, I would much prefer to buy from someone that I know has great customer service and will take care of any issues.

When I was looking for rock sliders I was interested in the MC sliders. So I called my local 4x4 shop like one has to do for MC. I asked about them, they took my number and said they would call back. Never heard back (plus the person was fairly rude and acted like I was a huge inconvenience), so I went with LoD through Krawl Off-Road.

I was tempted to fully "Cloak" my JK from suspension up, but my local vendor experience convinced me otherwise.

Not sure. I'd base it more on a crappy dealer, then mc.. They in no way reflect on the mc guys. They're just north of me, so I dealt with them directly on purchasing. Glad I did because they took care of me, in a way I know a dealer couldn't. I know the mc guys would like to hear about your experience with their dealer, especially if they lost a customer. That's too bad, because they make great stuff.

Here is my 2013 JKUR with Metalcloak 3.5 game hanger lift with 6 pak shocks. We are a Metalcloak distributor as well as a full service automotive repair and paint shop in Louisiana. We recently slicked out a full set of overland fenders and painted them two-tone. Install was as expected. Took a full day to install all fenders, bumpers, and rear tire carrier. Minor trimming required. Fit on fenders was great. I'd gladly sell you any Metalcloak parts you'd like at a good price. Email me direct if interested at doug@completecollision.com.

My good friend runs them on his 06 LJ and I think they look great on the TJ and LJ. I'm not as much of a fan of the JKU looks. They did require some trimming of metal on the rear wheel well when we installed them, but I think that is only for TJ models. I haven't changed my stock flares, but I consider his to be quality made.

I like the looks of the overland and overlines. May end up buying a full set.

MetalCloak has great customer service, I buy directly from them. Sounds like a bad dealer or they only like to sell stuff with more profit margin.
