The ball lock gives quick mount/release ability, so you can easily remove the flares from the mounting plates or corner guards for maximum clearance, or keep them installed for tire coverage. The approach and departure angles are engineered for the best object deflection you can get.
The flares fully integrate with the MetalCloak body armor system, making them incredibly strong and giving tub protection with just the right amount of clearance and coverage.
Note: TEST FIT METALCLOAK PRODUCT PRIOR TO HAVING CUSTOM PAINTED/POWDER COATED. MetalCloak is not responsible for the cost of ANY custom finishes that have been applied.
Note: First time purchasers must choose a mounting method. Corner guards (TJ / LJ / YJ / CJ), mounting base plates in stock (TJ / LJ / CJ) or mod-cut (TJ / LJ / YJ / CJ), or generic corner guard adapter kit (TJ / YJ).
