Well isn’t that something no sku number on Friday but one on Saturday. Will did say it would be coming soon. I was hoping to have ordered Friday and receive soon for up coming Jeep runs. I had to trim ( angle grind ) gas skid around Rusty’s lower Control arm frame side for a no interference fit about 1/4 inch by 1 1/2 inches long. I will probably have to do the same with res skid. Thanks for the info. PS I did look this morning also at 0700 mst it wasn’t there. Love this site

Thank-you

I typed 392 resonator skid into google and this popped up at the top on the shopping tabs as first response. Hopefully mine will be here before we go wheeling march 23.

Are "we" actually hitting this? I don't think I have ever touched mine on anything and I wheel a lot.

Are "we" actually hitting this? I don't think I have ever touched mine on anything and I wheel a lot.

Good question, I also wheel a lot, including the tougher trails in Moab, the Rubicon Trail, and numerous others. My 392 has a MetalCloak 2.5" Gamechanger lift and 37s. I have the full MetalCloak skids on my 392, and also had the muffler skid for a while. I have the Next Venture diff covers and diff skids, as well as control arm skids. And I have RockSlide Engineering step sliders. Every single skid plate and both rock sliders have been used several times, and they all have numerous scrapes and scratches on them. The UHMW on one of the rear control arm skids had to be replaced. I mangled the stock exhaust tips twice, despite the MetalCloak muffler skid, and replaced the stock exhaust with an AWE exhaust to gain better clearance, and tossed the MetalCloak muffler skid. The stock metal rear bumper was bent up into the body, and the stock metal front bumper was also tweaked (while in stubby form). Both bumpers have been Replaced by CavFab bumpers. I bent the Mopar Reinforced spare tire carrier when dropping off a 5' high ledge in Moab. The Mopar tire carrier was replaced with a CavFab tire carrier.

But I've never hit the exhaust that would be protected by this new skid plate from MetalCloak.

Cheep insurance. Once you hit it then it’s too late. Just like the lower rear control arms. How ever they are an easy target. That’s my thought.

The Mopar tire carrier was replaced with a CavFab tire carrier, and with the new tire carrier the tailgate straightened out perfectly.

I agree the rear exhaust just says hit me! Next venture may have been the better option for muffler skid

I did hit my exhaust here.

100% agree on rear bumper. I need to figure out which one I want and get it.

That cross pipe in front of the transfer case is super vulnerable. That was one of the reasons I chose MetalCloak skids. Their skid under the cross pipe is super stout and well designed. I have countless deep scrapes in mine, and it is still structurally perfect. The MetalCloak skid in discussion though is the one that protects the exhaust between the transfer case and rear axle.

I wasn't saying we don't need one. I was just commenting that Paradigmdog raised a good question. I probably need one, and I suspect the only reason I haven't hit anything there is blind luck. I don't know if it will work with an AWE exhaust though, so I'll wait until I hear further on that.

Mine should be here in next couple weeks and I'll let you know if it fits with borla atak. Rest of mc undercloak went on without a problem. Looks nice and tough. Easier than expected install. Just waiting on resonator skid now
