Could be a decent side gig for you...Some custom vents I designed and 3d printed for my nemesis crawler flares. Then I color matched them and added some satin black accents.

Maybe once I'm settled in Oregon. Too many side gigs currently lolCould be a decent side gig for you...
Are you on 35s or 37s?I finally got around to installing my metalcloak lift last weekend. Couple issues and potential area of concern but we sill see
Nice. What size MC lift did you go with and what did it yield as far as height goes?35's
I'm doing the Metalcloak 3.5 Gamechanger, what issues did you run into? What are you areas of concern? Just try yo figure out what to look for when I get to install.I finally got around to installing my metalcloak lift last weekend. Couple issues and potential area of concern but we sill see
I listed them in my build page, but to keep things short the front passenger upper control arm the bolt holding it it was on the inside going out so when removing the bolt was too long getout because of the location of the exhaust. Not sure if having a lift would have made that easier, but it took me quite awhile to bend and clamp down the heat shield to fit it out. When I reinstalled I flipped it to avoid that issue again. The area of concern is not knowing the true flex of some of these components. On the 2.5” rear track bar metal cloakcalls to add a spacer to the bracket. I believe it to be about an inch. When you install there is lless than 1/8” of clearance from the def tank. If that flexes at all there could be damage if not then should be fine I just don’t know yet.I'm doing the Metalcloak 3.5 Gamechanger, what issues did you run into? What are you areas of concern?

Thanks for the heads up on those issues. I was wondering about the upper bolts because I had seen some people have issues getting them out. I was at my local shop last week where they were doing a 3.5 game changer on a JL and had no issues with the bolts. I specifically asked that question while I watched them do half the lift while I was there, it was on a lift.I listed them in my build page, but to keep things short the front passenger upper control arm the bolt holding it it was on the inside going out so when removing the bolt was too long getout because of the location of the exhaust.

The pic is showing the bolt flipped now but it was facing the other way from factory. Again maybe if I had lift and full set of real tools that might not have been an issue but for me it slowed me down quite a bit
I thought I took a pic of the clearanceof the track bar I guess I didn’t. I will try to get one tonight

Definitely interested in the track bar and the DEF tank, if you find that picture can you please post it. I would be curious to see if there was any rubbing marks on either just from daily driving.
That's great to hear, I've been waiting on them to get the winch mode working for the diesel. It would also be nice to have just an hi idle option (around 1250 rpm) just for when you need extended idle times. I used my hi idle in my F350 powerstroke all the time.I was texting with ZAutomotive last night. Sounds like we'll be checking out winch mode on the diesels sometime next week.
Firecracker Ecodiesel on Revkit for me.Posted this in @gnome ’s Yellow Can Club, too:
Hey y’all! Is anyone else on Revkit? If you’re not familiar, it’s basically a place for you to post your mods and pics of your rig. I reached out to them about creating a group for us diesel owners and they’re asking if I know any user names.
