I used a dremel tool to grind/sand away what I needed to remove. It's not that hard of a material, you could probably cut it away with a good, sharp box cutter.
Thanks

Finally completed the lift a tire/rim change out. Total transformation in my opinion. Below are the before and afters:

Forget to mention the Rubicon take-offs which I did at the same time.

Installed Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport fog lights and a Diode Dynamics SS6 light bar. My LED headlights were so bright they drowned out the fog and light bar lights, I put my halogen head lights back in. 1. Head lights 2. HL and fog 3. HL, fog, bar, 4. HL, bar 5. Bar 6. Bar, fog 7. Fog. The headlights and light bar were not aimed. I aimed them later and was pleased with the results. I have Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Combo lights for the cowls coming next week and may add another light bar for the front to get a better spread. I was never into lights until this JL with aux switches.

I’ve had my eyes on the Metalcloak. Thoughts so far?
Quite happy with them. They bolted up very nicely. No having to get a pry bar and try to torque something to fit, no wallowing out holes to make the bolts work. Everything just went together perfectly.

First time we hit some rocks, the Jeep glided right over. No problems. Minor scratches, they held up well.

So far im very happy with them.

Skid plates have paid for themselves, well more than twice, on my motorcycles. It may just be a matter of time before they find their way on to my JLU. Nothing else sounds like the thump or scrape of metal making undesired contact with the ground. 😳

Oil Change #2. I can't get over how much I love changing the oil on the 2.0. The configuration is so simple. Not missing the sideways mounted filter on the 4.0 I6 at all.

Wait, it's a completely upside-down filter that everyone hates on the 2.0. I know because I always complain about the last dummy to tighten it after getting oil in my armpit again. Unfortunately, I've changed all my oil myself.

Or wait, was your jeep itself upside-down when you changed it?

Any issues with the install?
It was a pain, no matter how many tools you have you are still missing what you need. Rear parking sensors are acting wonky. Other than that it was pretty straight forward!

Just finished installing LOD signature stubby front bumper with Gear America Uber shackles. Again always seems no matter what tools you have you are still missing what is needed!

Jeepless but still a fan.

Heh. I like it for different reasons. Easy access and I can hand fill the new one mostly before screwing it back on. Minimal time with loss of oil pressure. :)
