INSTAGRAM OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to @ericquiros8 for winning this week's Instagram of the Week.

24/7 Free Shipping from Metalcloak

You work hard for your money.

You don't need to spend it with us. There are lots of options for your Jeep or Ram truck.

So, when you do, we are truly humbled. 

It's why, every day, we work tirelessly to find new ways to not only develop new products, but to improve the ones we have. 

We also work every day to improve our systems.

On May 31, our website was taken offline for a few hours in order to make some critical changes necessary to complete one of the biggest system improvements since opening our doors. 

The result? 

All Shipping, on orders over $100, is FREE! 

That's right. This is not a one time Flash Sale, or a weekend holiday sale... it is our new policy... if you spend over $100 with us, and you live in the Contiguous (Lower 48) United States, we will ship your order for free.

No cost to you.

Nada.

This new option is automatic and does not require a coupon code. 

If you spend $100 or less, then there will be a small shipping charge. 

If you live in Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada, shipping will be normal. 

But from Washington State in the Pacific Northwest to the Southern tip of Florida, shipping is FREE.

And this is just one of the awesome system improvements we will be implementing over the next couple months. 

See you on the rocks my friends,

Matson "Matsonian" Breakey

Clearance of the DB3 Drop Bracket

The DB3 provides better control arm geometry than a any rear long arm available and is tucked close to the rear tire to give you an advantage in approach angle over rear long arm set ups.

MetalCloak’s Game-Changing Duroflex Joint Gets a Kevlar Upgrade

Metalcloak is first to Introduce Kevlar to the Jeep Suspension Market

Rancho Cordova, CA – Metalcloak today made public a project layered under blankets of secrecy; a project that started with the simple question “could we?” over 18 months ago; a project that could, once again, be a “game-changer” for the growing company.

As part of a video series called the “Metalcloak Minute”, the face of Metalcloak, Matson Breakey, announced that since May of 2018, Metalcloak has been “quietly introducing a new Duroflex Joint. Changing over inventory as stock permitted.”

According to the announcement, the new Duroflex Bushings feature “our iconic M embossed on the side... and… it is made with Dupont Kevlar Fiber. Yes. Kevlar.”

The Duroflex Bushing was originally introduced in 2011 to a world of skeptics who were used to the more traditional and vulnerable flex joints for use in their suspension systems. Since then the Duroflex Joints have become “synonymous with great off road performance and awesome daily driver ride quality – all while maintaining industry leading durability,” according to Matson.

Metalcloak has been known to be a company of firsts… from the first removeable production tube fender, to the first production full replacement fender, to the long travel compact shock, to the first vibration dampening high misalignment bushing… and now the first company introduce Kevlar into the Jeep Suspension system.

Metalcloak claims the addition of Kevlar into the Proprietary Vulcanized Rubber Compound that makes up the Duroflex Bushing is all part of continuing to lead the industry in function and durability for years to come.

“Afterall, Dupont's tagline for Kevlar is Dare Bigger, I think that says it all,” concludes Matson.
