Jeep: Metal Cloak Control Arms Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Finally found some time to get the Metal Cloak DuroFlex Control Arms installed. This install video includes the removal for some JKS Drop Brackets that were bought by the previous owner to adjust for the 4.5 inch lift kit he had installed. Unfortunately, My Rock Krawler Lower Control Arms failed and it was not covered under their warranty. So I quickly jumped at the chance to install something way better than Rock Krawler and ordered the Full Set of Metal Cloak DuroFlex Control Arms. These things are beefy and will compliment the HD Steering Kit I installed earlier.
The install is fairly easy to do and req2uires only a few large sockets, some jack stands and a jack. I would also recommend a Tie Down strap if you are doing this job alone as it will help pulling or pushing the axle into the right spot for the new arms.

Another excellent how-to tutorial! You've got just the right mix of tech and humor to make your video's interesting and fun. Buster and I sat, watched and knocked off breakfast all at the same time. You've got some pretty ground around you. We love you. Buster and dad🙂🙃🐅❤
I think it is way past time to get back to the Mountains of Colorado and find some new trails with you. Thank you for always being such a great support of my hobby!
Great video, thank you! I'm doing mine this weekend and your video will be my go-to reference.
Awesome! It's not a difficult job but be ready to wrestle the axle a little and the flag nuts in the frame..video editing sometimes makes it look super easy. Be safe and let me know how it turns out!!
Hey Buddy.. checking back with you to see how your install went? Did you have a chance to get them in?
Great video man! I love my Twisted ADV sticker!!!
Thanks man! You better start posting that new Bronco! It looks so good!!! I need details, man, DETAILS
Oh.. and when you need to spice it up, Metalcloak has some Bronco stuff too!
@@86Ctopher most definitely going to look into that.
Great video and thanks for the MetalCloak praise. Keep up the good work !
@metalcloakmike Thank you very much Mike! Really appreciate the comment!! You guys Rock!
Great video, but way easier to swap out control arms with the tires mounted and on the ground. Ask me how i know haha 😅
I bet you're right. I thought about trying it that way but thought it might be more difficult to film. When it is time to service the joints, I will keep it on the ground. (as long as I can still squeeze myself underneath lol) Thanks for the comment and watching!
Really enjoy your content. Hope your channel grows, it would be well deserved! I'd proudly display a sticker and send one in return.
Thank you very much!! Send me an email at ctopher86@msn.com and I'll get you hooked up. I love autoedits, Trailrecon and JK Gear and Gadgets and I would love to get my videos to their level and definitely out much faster. I am sure you understand, Life seems to take over quite often. Really appreciate the comments. I'll get you the sticker right away
I enjoy big name creators, hard not too. BUT, I enjoy the " start up's " more. If I'm ever at the point of having viewers, I think I'd try and showcase them as well.
@ZeroRemorse22 Truly appreciate your support! Be sure to send me an email. I fly back to OK Sunday and will get that sticker in the mail on Monday. I subscribed to you as well. You got some good stuff my friend. Keep em coming!
@86Ctopher will do. Your kind, mines a work in progress.
@ZeroRemorse22 Got your sticker in the mail! Love the logo! I know just the place to put it too. Thanks buddy!
