JLUR Armor Suggestions

[Mizza]

Hey, Everyone,

I'm running a JLUR and need some help spending some money. Thinking about some future upgrades for the season and one repeated suggestion has been armor upgrades. The JLUR has some factory protection; however, I'm sure some additional protection wouldn't hurt. I'm looking at the Metalcloak Kit here (https://metalcloak.com/undercloak-integ ... motor.html) Is anyone running this or something similar and have feedback you can share?

I think someone else tried this on the 2021 JLU and there was a bracket or other fitment issue, under the 3rd mod is a bust thread. Maybe it fits if you have the 3.6L I wasn't sure if it was the engine or the year. For that reason I am looking at the rockhard4x4 one, although it a fair bit more $. What I noticed on my first and only run with the 2021 JLUR is the cross member hangs down fairly low and gets hung up on things.

Rockhard is good. Opt for the 1/4” engine skid, that skid takes a beating

Rock hard is the way to go 2021. The new JL has different engine mounts, rock hard is the first company that has the correct lineup for an unlimited not yet for a two-door.
I'm waiting on the two door version.

No fitment issues on my ‘18 JLUR. And as a 2020 newb, I appreciated my MC protection...

Does that cover everything in your photo?

Yes. That’s the one BUT I also added their FAD skid, rear diff cover and skid, front diff cover and skid, HD steering with stabilizer relo and adjustable rock rails which I still run upside down...against the suggestions of group members. Oh, and my lift is MC 2.5 Game changer. Guess you could say I’m a bit “cloaked out”.

My goal from day one was and still is to protect so I can wheel the trails on weekends and drive the rig during the week with the top down...or a should I say “retracted”

If you plan to order MC, make sure you take advantage of one of their 10% off with free shipping sales. Not sure when their next one will be but you can contact them to find out. Never pay full price and shipping with them.

Good point Randy and very likely. In fact, many suppliers are starting to run their spring sales...although most will take your money now and put you on their COVID waitlist for shipping direct from factory. Sooooo many products out there are not out there.

Thanks guys. I ended up ordering both the skid plate kit + rocker rails tonight and surprisingly shipping said $0.
