[00:00] If you're taking your Jeep off-road, you're gonna need more protection for your vulnerable front axle disconnect, and you should also replace the steering dampner up and out of harm's way. And while you're at it, maybe upgrade the weak factory stabilizer.
[00:08] Hi, I'm Scott Becker with MetalCloak here to talk to you about the MetalCloak RockSport Axle Disconnect Skid Plate Upgrade System for the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiators.
[00:17] This kit replaces the flimsy factory skid with MetalCloak's strong gold zinc plated skid plate and also relocates the steering stabilizer up for clearance.
[00:25] The JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator have a low-hanging axle disconnect box located off the back side of the front axle on the passenger side.
[00:31] MetalCloak's Front Axle Disconnect System comes with a beefy replacement skid plate to protect this important piece of equipment while out on the trails.
[00:38] The skid plate is made of solid 3/16" laser-cut steel and is finished in our signature gold zinc and displays the iconic MetalCloak 'M' logo so there is no doubt to other Jeepers you appreciate American-made quality.
[00:50] This system allows you to choose the tie rod mount best for you. Choose from the standard tie rod mount that is CAD-designed, gold zinc finished and made out of 3/16" hot rolled steel, or the MetalCloak Billet Aluminum Tie Rod Mount that is designed to fit oversized 1 5/8" diameter tie rods.
[01:05] The two-piece aluminum clamp is finished in anodized black with a laser-engraved 'M' around the recessed bolt holes for a clean and custom look. Choose the one that best works for your application.
[01:15] Included in this package is the Steering Stabilizer Axle Mount that relocates the axle-side steering stabilizer to better protect the stabilizer from debris by moving it up and out of harm's way, by repositioning it to the axle.
[01:27] The system comes with the RockSport Steering Stabilizer which is designed for the rigors of a lifted Jeep equipped with oversized off-road tires. It will reduce road feedback better than the OE factory part and help reduce the vibrations that can damage ball joints, bushings and other front end components.
[01:41] With our detailed instructions, you can have your RockSport FAD Skid Plate and RockSport Stabilizer installed in no time.
[01:48] And best of all, the MetalCloak RockSport Axle Disconnect Skid Plate Upgrade Kit is made right here in the USA.
[01:56] So when you're ready for the best protection for your Jeep, look no further than MetalCloak's RockSport Front Axle Disconnect Skid Plate Upgrade Kit for your JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator. MetalCloak—it's your Jeep, only better.
