SNEAK PEAK... REAR BUMPERS...

Many of you have been waiting what seems to be a lifetime for the advent of the Rear Bumper system from MetalCloak.

Well, we have good news... its coming! The days are closer and the promise is near. There will be a whole blog written about the journey, but for now, here is an image of how it is coming together. There is more to do, but this gives you a bit of an idea on what we are doing and where we are going... for those who are curious, the bumper will have the same Frame-Built Modularity you see in our front bumper systems.

This particular configuration is the Tire-Carrier option. With non-carrier options also available. Like I said, there is more to do, and refinement to build in, but I wanted you to know, we are listening and we are getting it done.

New Product Updates, Off Road Expo, Pic (Flop) of the Week & More

Hello Rock-Biting Jeepers!

As usual, there is a lot happening at MetalCloak as we get ready for Off Road Expo in Pomona, California coming October 9 & 10. If you haven't been to Off Road Expo, it truly is the show of shows on the West Coast.

This will be our second venture to Expo since opening the doors in January 2009, and our presence has expanded exponentially. Not only will we be in a bigger booth, but there will be a number of other vendors sporting MetalCloak on their show rigs... and boy do their rigs look amazing!

Our focus, of course, will be the long-awaited release of the MetalCloak Body Armor System for the JK, which we plan on showcasing at the show. Until then, the designs are strictly under wraps.

So come on out and see what all the buzz is about! http://www.offroadexpo.com/

Tow Bar Adapter

Occassionally we release small accessories designed to enhance our existing product lines... the tow-bar adapter is a great example of this. Aaron, our esteemed company president, just returned from a 3000 mile journey towing our TJ, Cloak 1, behind our grand RV using these adapters. They slip right onto your existing shackle mounts, and into any adjustable type of tow-bar.

PIC OF THE WEEK...

Here are a few from the Whoops! files... these rigs, each one of them, flopped and then (with a little wrangling) got right back up. The consensus: "If it wasn't for my MetalCloak's I would have had a lot more damage."

Flopped on the Fordyce Trail

No pick of the flop, just the aftermath.

As this customer said: "A lot of the weight of the Jeep
was on the fender, it only left 2 scratches in the powder coat."

See you on the rocks... or not!

How to Clean Up "Rock Rash" on your Powdercoat

If you have a question that is not answered on FAQ page, maybe we can answer it for you here.

Q: What does MetalCloak recommend for covering up scratched powdercoat?

A: Rustoleum Black Textured Paint... details below.

So, you bought MetalCloak Rock-Biting Body Armor for your Jeep and now you have the best Tube Fender, Rockers, Corner Guards and Bumpers available on your rig.

But it it Body Armor, which means that when you wheel, you are going to innevitably bang it up, On the Rocks!

And even though we use an incredible Premium Black Textured Powdercoat that is easily 5 mil or more in thickness, rocks can still tear through it and expose bear metal.

The question is, what is the best way to repair and clean up this mess?

Recently, while having fun at Area BFE during the 2010 Easter Jeep Safari, I tore up the Crawler Cap on my Frame-Built Bumper.



Fortunately, this is VERY easy to repair using Rustoleum's Black Texured Spray Paint.


First... buy a can of Rustoleum Black Textured Paint. Rustoleum has a great line of textured paints and the Black Textured matches our powder coat incredibly well.

Next clean up the area around the scratched powder coat with a mild sandpaper or a scotch brite pad.



Then, following Rustoleum's instructions, rattle can that baby (of course, you should mask off the area you don't want sprayed black...).



The result is a "barely can tell" finish, ready to get thrown back at the rocks.
