Hello Rock Biting Jeepers! This time of year always reminds me of how much we, at Metalcloak, have to be thankful for. Not only for the great freedoms and opportunities this country still provides; and not only for the amazing men and women who defend those freedoms and opportunities every day; and not only for our Founding Fathers and the foresight they had to lay our freedoms on parchment; and not only for the bounty we are about to receive... we are also thankful for YOU. Yes, YOU. I am truly humbled each time you put forward your hard earned cash to purchase a Metalcloak product. Without you, we wouldn't be here. And we will NEVER take that for granted. So THANK YOU!

Dodge Ram Duroflex Control Arms? Sure, why not...

Yes, it's true.

We are fans of Dodge Ram Trucks. In our own shop we have at least 7 Ram Trucks here every day.

So, when in 2012, Will, our lead sales and tech support guru, built a custom set of arms for his 2002 2nd Gen 3/4 Ton Cummins, we thought, sure, why not.

Now, after 2 years and 25,000 miles, we said... "enough testing, let's do it!"

Introducing the new Duroflex Control Arms for Dodge Ram trucks... with options for 1994 - 2012, these control arms are a simple bolt-on option for your rig.

Fitting Stock to 3" lift, the non-adjustable arms are precisely built at an engineered length for the best performance with your rig.

You can learn more and order your set, at http://www.metalcloak.com/Metalcloak-Dodge-Ram-Suspensions-s/294.htm.

As always your feedback is welcome and appreciated! 

Sidekick Off Road, Racing on Duroflex, and Pic of the Week Winner

Hello Matson, Great response from last week's eNews to the new Pic of the Week Contest. There were some great entries and you can view this week's winner below. I know many of you are itching to see the Black Friday announcement, so keep an eye on Facebook, where it will be announced first. But, keep in mind, if you wait to place your order during Black Friday weekend, your order could be delayed up to 5 or 6 weeks. Whereas if you order BEFORE the sale starts, suspension will ship right away and some body armor as well. Give us a call, maybe we can save you a few dollars anyway... SIDEKICK OFFROAD 2015 CALENDAR COMING SOON! Over the last four years, we have been fortunate to be a part of the Sidekick Offroad Event Calendar. In our opinion, this calendar is one of the best, not just for the great pics, but for the EXTENSIVE list of Off Road Events listed month after month after month. This year we are returning as the pin-up for July with a great pic from Jeepers Jamboree and the Rubicon Trail. We should have these Calendars available next week for purchase, so keep an eye out! DUROFLEX JOINT TESTIMONIAL Over the last few years we've had lots of questions about the Durability of the Duroflex Joints - some have speculated that since they are not used in racing they can't be as good as the typical joints most commonly used on race rigs. While it is true that we are not a racing company and do not make racing focused components, 4540 Motorsports offered to show what the Duroflex Joints could do on a 4500 Class Everyman Challenge Ultra4 Jeep Wrangler. As the video shows, 4540 Motorsports was the only APPROVED user of our Joints for the 2014 Season. They installed the 2 5/8 x 2 5/8" 1 1/4" Straight Shank all the way around, in true parallel as recommended and with LH and RH threads for ease of adjustment. Watch the video for the results...   WIN THE CA4WD GIVEAWAY JEEP, "EXPEDITION CALIFORNIA" How do you WIN?

Aluminum Fenders for the Jeep Wrangler JK

Yeah, you've heard it before, Diets are All the Rage... and that even means Diets for your Jeep.

Since the introduction by our friend Gerald Lee at Savvy Off Road of the Aluminum Gas Tank Skid, Aluminum Jeep products have grown in popularity.

And while we had a full line of Aluminum Products for the TJ up til now, we have only had a few minor accessories for the JK.

But that is about to change.

Introducing the ALUMINUM Overland Front & Rear Fenders for the Jeep Wrangler JK.

Based on our unique Overland Fender one piece design, the Aluminum fenders not only look amazing, but they are super light too!

Just look at this comparison:

That's a total weight savings of 62 Lbs.

Made of Aircraft Grade Aluminum, the Overlands are a great addition to your build.

As always your feedback is welcome and appreciated.

How to Eliminate Radius Arm Bind...

Meet the "Lock-N-Load" (Patent Pending ID# 14/469,438) - our solution for Radius Arm Bind.



As we started developing a long-arm kit for TJ, we knew doing a Radius Arm would be an easier install and a better fit for many of our customers.

The challenge with radius arms is the binding that occurs at full articulation, which not only limits travel, but can put extraordinary stress on your joints (premature wear is common).

The Lock-N-Load is our offering of a solution.

How does it work? The Lock-N-Load contains springs that allow the arm to move in and out in a slow, controlled, manner - eliminating the bind that may be caused by the radius arm.



In addition, you can "Lock-It" by a few turns of the arm (notice the wrench flats) which removes its compression capability, allowing for more stability for every day driving.

Here you can see it in position on the front of Cloak1, our shop TJ.



In essence...

The Lock-N-Load

• Eliminates Radius Arm Bind
• Still Acts as a Fully Functional Rigid Control Arm
• "Lock-It" for Daily Driving
• "Load-It" for Trail Articulation

And, while it was developed to be part of our own TJ/LJ Long Arm Suspension System, it is currently available on our website as a stand-alone product.

Here is a short video that explains how it works and shows the arm in action.

And, as always, your feedback is welcome and appreciated.
