Spy Shots: New MetalCloak Jeep Wrangler JK Shocks

From the May 31, 2011 editorial of JP Magazine
By John Cappa
 
 
 
Over the weekend while wheeling in Death Valley with some friends I got a first look at some MetalCloak prototype shocks. The idea is brilliant although somewhat complex.
Basically there are six chambers. There are two small shocks facing up, two small shocks facing down, and two reservoirs.
The shock body kind of floats in the middle since it's gas charged.

Project Recycle gets some comp width flares
 
From the May, 2011 news post of Crawl Magazine
By John Herrick
 
 

Project Recycle has been running the MetalCloak steel 6 flares on the aluminum front fenders and the Savvy Offroad rear aluminum corners since we built the rig. They almost cover the tire tread on the Maxxis Treps and so far have kept the police from hassling us too badly. However, when down at EJS last month, we banged them up pretty good on the rocks. Nothing wrong with that, theyfre there for a reason. But after talking with Matson with MetalCloak we knew we could get some protection without sacrificing the narrower overall profile we wanted, in turn making some obstacles a little easier.

 

 
MetalCloak Brings New Products to Tough Old CJ
 
From the December 9, 2010 editorial of 4 Wheel Drive Magazine
By Phil Howell
 
 
 
Featuring the same Hi-Line clearance celebrated by Wrangler owners, the classic look Overlines install easily, not requiring any hacking of the stock hood or fenders. Knowing that many CJ enthusiasts are using aftermarket engines, MetalCloak chose not to pre-drill the aluminum inner fender wells for the CJ market allowing for clean custom installation of your under-the-hood accessories.

Four Wheeler Jeep Wrangler Tj Metalcloak Fender Project Jeep Teal Brute

 
 

Four Wheeler Jeep Wrangler Tj Metalcloak Fender Project Jeep Teal Brute
Over the past three years, we have tested a variety of different tires with our MetalCloak fenders. First it was a set of 37x12.50 BFG Krawlers. Then we installed a 37x13.50 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw. Next, it was a 40x13.50 Goodyear MT/R, and today it's a 40x13.50 ProComp Xterrain as seen here. The 40-inch rubber would not have been possible without MetalCloak's original arched front fender conversion.
When it comes to building late-model Wrangler vehicles for everyday street driving and regular trail use, nothing beats the proven combination of larger meats with minimal lift. Few will argue that high ground clearance and a low center of gravity are considered to be the Holy Grail in the rough. However, to achieve this arrangement, something has to give. Simply bolting on a 2- to 3-inch suspension lift may allow room for a 33-inch tire, but what if you wanted to go bigger?
