NEW JK Wrangler Drive-Shafts from Metalcloak...

For the most part, when you install a Metalcloak Lift Kit on your JK, replacing Drive-Shafts is not a "Must-Do", which saves time and money. Over time, though, stock drive-shafts will wear out and need to be replaced. So, whether you want to do it all at once or wait a year or so, Metalcloak now offers replacement drive-shafts for the JK Wrangler. Available for the 2-Door and 4-Door, manual or automatic, the JK Wrangler drive-shafts are made locally in Sacramento, California, by a company that has been manufacturing drive-shafts for decades.

Go Overland My Friend... New JK Overland Suspension Systems!

Options, Options and more Options... that has pretty much defined how Metalcloak has approached it's product line.

Many times, those options are Game-Changing and revolutionary... sometimes they are simply a well-designed response to customer requests...

A year or so ago, we started getting requests from customers to create a more basic kit for the JK Wrangler. One that was at a better price point and easier to install.

Our response? The JK Wrangler Overland Series by Metalcloak.

Utilizing the popular drop bracket system, the Overland Suspensions are easy to install with the stock control arms, provide the desired lift with our popular True Dual Rate coils and are available with or without the new RockSport Long Travel Shocks.

Available in three configurations. "Elite" shown above. "Sport" shown here:

And "Touring"...

And for a limited time, the 2.5" "Touring" kit, without the RockSport Shocks is on sale. Click here to learn more.

Check out all the new kits at Metalcloak.com and as always, we appreciate your feedback!

5-Bullet Friday, September 11, 2015

Here's the next serving of my 5-Bullet Fridays... as always, I truly appreciate that you took the time to sign up for this little weekly bite of things I find interesting, useful and cool.

FOR YOUR JEEP: While 5-Bullet Fridays are not meant to be always about my products, I just thought this little bracket for mounting the sPod and relocating the Vacuum Canister was a great and innovative problem solver - BTW this is a two-fer... if you are not familiar with sPod Power Systems, you should be... it makes life so much easier. FOR PREPPING: If you ever wanted to make your own Ghost Gun (an AR-15 with no serial number) a company called Ghost Gunner released this small, portable, open source CNC machine that does one thing... finishes your 80% lower. Just put it in, and hit the next button. At only $1500, it is one heck of time saver and a deal for those who aren't master fabricators.  FOR THE WOW FACTOR: This picture of Sheriff's JeepFest this last weekend just struck me as amazing. Not because of something wild or crazy happening, but because of how many awesome off-roaders were there checking things out and participating. We can all learn something from how the team put together this event.  FOR THE BRAIN:  I've become a fan of what is being called Bulletproof Coffee... a recipe made originally by Dave Asprey of Bulletproof Exec fame. Here is his recipe (video). And this is how I do it for a lot less... one LARGE cup of coffee (16oz), usually with a french press for ease, but any coffee maker will do... add 1tbsp of grass fed butter and 1tbsp of coconut oil. Blend to a frothy creamy consistency. Besides being just a buttery tasty goodness and costing a heck of a lot less then one of those fancy coffee drinks, I find I have more energy in the day - only needing the one dose all day (and there is research to suggest long term benefits of coconut oil for the brain - as someone with a history of Alzheimers in the family, I am intrigued with the possibilities).  FOR YOUR GO-BAG:  Water filtration is important for any Go-Bag... the Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System is the lightest, easiest & cheapest filter I've ever used. You can use it as a straw, or can use it to fill up your bottle or hydration pack. After doing 125 miles of backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail with an MSR filter pump, then attempting Mt Whitney with the Sawyer, I am sold on the Sawyer as my go-to filter system.

Thank you for being a part of 5-Bullet Fridays! Let me know which bullet was your favorite or if you have anything you'd like me to check out.  And, if you like 5-Bullet Fridays, please share this with your friends. See you on the rocks, Matson "Matsonian" Breakey Metalcloak.com

5-Bullet Friday, September 4, 2015

It's here, our first 5-Bullet Friday post! I truly appreciate that you took the time to sign up for this little weekly bite of things I find interesting... I hope that it proves to be of interest to you as well. If you find it cool, please share it with your friends.

FOR YOUR JEEP: Ran across these half doors by Strike Force Zebra the other day for the JK. They look solid and pretty slick design. No matter how long I've been in the industry, every time I turn around there I discover another cool product I didn't know about. It's good to be a Jeep owner. FOR CAMPING: A few months ago I got a set of ceramic knives by Chef Made Easy for home use. They are now my goto knives. Always sharp, easy to use, light-weight and easy to clean. Sounds perfect for camping - so I just ordered a second set for my camping Go-Box.  FOR MUSIC: Our buddies at Kicker sent me this great KPw Bluetooth Speaker last year and while using it out and about, I never tried it at home until this last weekend. OMG. It was great! Put it on the kitchen table and heard it throughout the house. Actually had to turn it down it was so loud and CLEAN.  FOR PASSING THE TIME:  Been listening to the Bower Power Hour podcast by Charlene Bower of Bower Motorsports Media. Season 1 is done, and has lots of interviews with leaders in the world of off road. There are multiple ways to listen, just check it out. FOR A HOT AFTERNOON:  We did a lot of work around the house last weekend... and what's better then an ice-cold beer? You may find this one odd... but it's tasty! I mean, if you like Watermelon on a hot summer day, I think you'll like 21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon. Crisp and refreshing.

Thanks again for being a part of 5-Bullet Fridays! Let me know which bullet was your favorite or if you have anything you'd like me to check out. See you on the rocks, Matson "Matsonian" Breakey Metalcloak.com

NEW! sPod Mount & Vacuum Pump Relocation Kit We love our sPOD, and we love having our winch mounted between the frame rails on our JK. But, the later models ('12 - current) have that pesky vacuum pump mounted where the winch would go. To solve that originally, we created the Vacuum Pump Relocation Kit... easy fix... but it mounts where the sPOD mounts...  No problem, we thought, lets create a bracket that mounts both! Introducing the sPod Mount and Vacuum Pump Relocation Bracket... coated in our now famous Gold Zinc Chromate and extremely easy to install... Learn More...
