This TJ is really special because it was purchased new by the current owner's father. His father built the Jeep was it was new & used it extensively as a trail guide. The Jeep has been parked inside for the last 5 years we were asked to bring it back to life and create a family heirloom. The work that was completed was extensive and included a 4.5" MetalCloak Long Arm Suspension, with FOX 2.0 Performance series shocks, MetalCloak Fenders, flares & skid plates. We swapped out the old low pinion Dana 30 front axle with a new high pinion Dana 30, installed driveshaft from Quigley, and added new cable shifters to the Atlas transfer case. The list goes on and on! We're pumped to have finished this family heirloom for the customer and are very happy with the outcome!

Nice looking build. Researching a build for my 06 LJ and will look at Metal Cloak products. First time I had heard of that company. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great build. Wish you had a shop here in Virginia. Shops that understand lifted Jeep geometry or how to do an alignment on one are few and far between.

My faithful TJ is dying, the RMS Stargazer. For fifteen years she barely gave any trouble. 2020 hit and the radiator burst, soaking the belt in antifreeze which caused it to snap, destroy the fan and the clutch. On the tow home, a tyre was destroyed somehow. It was time to buy new tyres anyway. While down, I addressed the mild death rattle by replacing the ball joints, tie rod, and installed an adjustable track bar. The drag link got a new steering damper. A few weeks later, I installed an aluminum three row radiator, an electric fan, and an electric thromal switch for the fan. The old Jeep ran great once more. Then the synchronizes failed, little, by little, until they are gone by the end of 2020. But I learned to double clutch and dealt with it. Recently, the ECM failed. When it failed the system was flooded with 50 volts from the alternator and the battery swole up and was foaming when the engine powered out. She sits dormant now. So silent, so peaceful, so beautifully sad. Between needing a transmission, battery, anything that cooked under the 50 volts, and an ECM, I wonder if I should just retire my dear Stargazer to lawn ornament. I love her so much. I could never junk her. But she could remain beautiful as a ornament, while I find a life draining, bland, boring, soul sucking front wheel drive, four cylinder, automatic transmission, upside down soup bowl looking, car. I hate 2021. It makes 2020 look like one year of Christmas. I can not believe this year may be the end of our long journey together with my dear Stargazer. How do I retire a friend that has been true for fifteen years?

Dang! That was a sad read! I can't believe the luck you've had, very unfortunate my friend! If you're local or somewhat close, you could bring it on up and we could give it a look! We would hate to see you lose your long time beloved due to mechanical failure! What do you think?? We would hate to see it sit unused! There's gotta be options for you!

Love my TJ, unfortunately I don't like that I didn't do my research and overpayed for a full RC'd out wrangler. Definitely going to be cloaking it out as soon as I can.

I have always wondered about the durability and life of those rubber joints? I have a bunch of the Metl Cloak Body parts on my TJ. I love them and all the time get people commenting on how good it looks. They are wowed when I tell them it's not just for looks, it's armor. A testament to how tough the Metal Cloak parts are: a few years ago some moron cut me off on the freeway and jammed on their brakes. I hit the idiot and totaled their car, flipped my jeep on it's top. Thank god for hard tops!. The only body parts there were not damaged were the Metal Cloak parts. I wish they madea hood, front grill and windshield frame! If them would I would own them and they probably would have survived undamaged with only some scraping. In repairing the Jeep I now have a full Ultra 4 race cage attached directly to the frame. :-) I'm slowly turning it into a poor man's 4500 class car. The new engine (turbo 4.7 stroker from 505 performance is almost ready to drop in with the heavily modified AW-4 trans. I already have the T-case from a hummer with a solid 4140 shortened main shaft in it. Axles and drive shaft are all already built to support high HP. Every mishap in a Jeep is nothing more than an excuse to buy more Jeep parts. All of life's stresses are an excuse to buy more jeep parts.The wife getting mad at you is an excuse to buy more Jeep parts. The boss yelling at you or getting passed over at work is an excuse to buy more Jeep parts. EVerything is an excuse to upgrade and buy more Jeep parts !!!!!! Ignore all the "Mall Crawler" mods that you see all over the place that some city slicker drives around with on their Angry bird grill cover Jeep, LOL!!! Putting big tires and a winch on your new JL doesn't make it a trail rig. IT takes a lot more than big tires and a winch to make a rig. What you guys did in this video makes this Jeep a real trail rig. Too Many people never get the skid plates, never forget that stuff you WILL regret it later. True Jeeps are built not Bought!
