Yes I love you guys and the work your doing filming. I just got a new JL Rubicon. I see your doing the Rubicon Trail and that is on my bucket list as I am 63 years old. Question can I drive the Rubicon trail whenever it is open by my self or is there a FEE to run the trail?

AJ held his composure for almost a second after your shaft comment. Hats off to him. Wish I could’ve stayed longer at MetalCloak but I just arrived from Iowa. Very long drive and was uncomfortable on how ripe I was. Plus I still had over a hour drive south to get home. It was very nice meeting all three of you.

I had nothing but problems with my 6 pack shocks ranging from oil leaking, nitrogen levels being wrong in all cylinders. And this was 2 months after buying them. They took 2 of them back and sent me 2 brand new ones and from the factory the nitro levels were wrong! This was all this year (2019) Landon from MC was awesome though and offered new ones or a full refund. Hopefully they got everything figured out.

@@SonsOfDeForest Yup that's why I believe they discontinued first the xj production then followed the death of the greatest die hard engine I've ever had or seen probably most people experience too, in 06 when they killed the TJ. The xj thing might have been do to fast changing safety standards and requirements but I firmly believe they killed it and the TJ and the straight 6 all together cause the longevity of those all and then figured out how to put out the now jks jls and all which with the exception of the already proven jk 5 speed automatic the others all now boasting 8-9 speed transmissions in the newest version is GOING to have some serious problems in the long run. How do I know why do I say cause I've already had the pleasure of a replaced tranny under warranty thankfully but at 37,0000 miles it wasn't a JL tranny but was a 295hp Chrysler 200c almost the exact same setup minus t-case and my father in law dumped his trailhawk cause of massive tranny shift issues at a measly 8,358 miles so I really hope I'm wrong about the new JL long term anyone who has it no offense but I'm not sold yet. I just cant get past the fact that I can stroke my 4.0 to 4.7 instantly and be sitting at 285hp and 320ft lbs torque for 4,500$ all in with fuel injectors 26lb per hrs upgrade throttle body opened slightly reprogrammed ECU and TCU for the tranny in which I can have completely rebuilt to Heavy Duty which they go in and will do changes if you wish to the torque converter and will weld or sotter the fins inside the stater and lock up turbines for lack of better term or the name I forget irrelevant though because for 1,800$ minus the t-case which is stupidly easy but it the tranny with a 7 year 100,000k warranty you have a brand new aw4 that will hold up to 400 HP and for the same price they let you call the stall if you so desired so it will shift like a monster breaking out of chains. The only thing that those totals won't get that IS required is a custom 2.5" exaust front to rear and a nice banks header or just any nice dually outlet header but shit the tally is like 8,300$ all in. I know I can hear people saying I wouldn't ever waste that on a cheap sheet metal unibody well shit I've already boxed out and framed out every bit of that weak link unibody already so no popcorn sounding snaps of spot welds to worry about hearing on the trail and no worry of getting stuck while articulating and having you doors not open cause of a flexed out unibody. I don't know about other states but thats what it costs in Washington state where I'm born and raised. For anyone who is reading and absorbing this info and thinking wow what a woman lol the name is actually Tyson I'm way to lazy and don't even care to make my own account until I get back on my feet financially to buy a GOOD go pro to start filming wheeling trips and post them as the births of my two daughters and the xj build even done all by myself has broke my wifes and my bank account but hey still exponentially cheaper and more then capable of keeping up with any of the wranglers jk jl tj yj cj7 cj5 you get the picture. But back to the main point that got me to write a book lol simplicity and durable reliability I've found it 8 xj later I know them inside out just about hope someone reads this and wants to do this all one day just not in one month lol took me 4 years to do my xj to the point I have it cause the $ even though fractions of the price some people have in there rigs was HARD AS F@#$ to make happen for a 30 old married man with a mortgage and two kids especially when I blew our life savings in in 2015 beating stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma.

If they work for you that's all that matters. I think MC manufacturers some great armor, suspension...not so much. Personally, I think the shocks are gimmicky. I will give MC this, their marketing is top tier. To be able to market and advertise their flagship suspension as a long arm kit and not have it include long arms is nothing short of amazing. Radius arms and patent pending drop brackets...really changed the game.
@DonovanGoodwin

Still don't understand all the hate. In fact I've never heard any marketing of theirs. I've only seen first hand their suspension and was very impressed. The TJ long arm kit with 6pak shocks absolutely includes long arms(don't know about other kits for different jeeps?) But honestly Im not a fanboy but they seem like a great suspension company. At least as good as teraflex imo. What about their marketing is misleading and how are their shocks gimmicky? They offer tons of flex and great tuning much like other high performance shock brands. I am sure they aren't the best in the game but their claims hold true about it's physical dimensions etc.
