🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

[CAMEL2R]

What is the measurement from the ground through the center of the front wheel to the bottom of the tiny flare ? I bet you are over 41”

On level ground the front is 42" exact and the rear is 41.5". So I guess I gained an inch?

On my XR that would be a 1.5” gain up front and a 1.0” gain in back. Killer !

sweet!

Although, when I switch to 37's, that will look less lifted but all good...and a smidge taller.

Very similar to Metal Cloak but way more expensive.Not nearly as heavy duty as next venture similar in price. NV is a bit more. And NV makes one for the front too.

Yes, MC is very similar, but not quite the same. IMHO, it's not built as well. The axle tab design looks weak and the U-bolts are not positioned on the diff collar like AEV. Also, MC's version doesn't cover the drive shaft as far as AEV's does. I like NV's stuff, beefy but I don't like using the diff cover bolts as an anchoring point. Engineering...in this case, you get what you pay for!

That said, I will probably buy NV's rear shock/control arm skids...those are bad a$$.

Was waiting for an AEV rear differential skid plate. Glad to see it. Now hoping that my rear axle truss is compatible with the U-bolts mounted over the differential collar.

NV tech support told me that their differential skid is not compatible with the AEV differential covers. Same with MC.

Did they just turn a bicycle seat upside down and encase it in steel?

That stinks...It appears NV & MC designed them for the OEM covers and didn't plan ahead for anything else. You might be able to customize it. I find stuff all the time that says, doesn't fit SOT, etc...bologna!

Installed TUX MATS and lathered up the Katzkins

I did leather care today too. My doors are off and hard rains all day so I figured doing the seats was a good plan.

The MC and possibly the AEV skids can be welded to the trussed axle.

I did my first wash and wax. I did not do paint correction yet, I just want to make her look pretty and give some protection.

I sure love this color!

Couldn't find that color so went with my next favorite, Sarge Green. You got her looking sharp!

I just captured this picture when I walked into the garage. I thought it was cool.

Sarge should be everybody's favorite color
