Installed the Metalcloak JL Inner Fender Liners w/ black powdercoat. They arrived very nicely packaged with good instructions online and via YT videos. Overall they are what you'd expect from Metalcloak, however there are a few things that caught me off-guard and were not covered in the online instructions or in the YouTube videos.
First, they only give you 4 button head bolts to use for mounting the fenders to the top of the frame. You will need 4 more (these should be included in the kit) so I had to run to the hardware store to source 4 more 3/8 - 16 bolts to mount the big bracket to the Jeep.
Second, the "tool" they give you to install the rivet nuts is just a bolt. Like, how can they call it an "included tool?" Whatever, do yourself a favor and get a proper rivet nut tool if you plan to do this.
Overall they look great and are very solid construction, it just makes me weary of buying anything else Metalcloak in the future.
