MetalCloak UnderCloak Integrated Armor System - First Look & Install - JEEP JKU

Have you abused the factory skid plates in your Jeep JKU, JLU or JT? Well MetalCloak has you covered! I have been hitting the rocks in my JKU and it is time to get some more adequate undercarriage protection!

I am not sponsored by nor am I being paid by MetalCloak for this Unboxing, First Impression, & Install.

In this video I will be unboxing the MetalCloak UnderCloak System, Removing the factory crossmember and transfer case skid plate. I will be showing how I was able to suspend an empty gas tank to drop the gas tank skid plate to pound out the dents before installing the UnderCloak system over it. Go step by step of the installation of the UnderCloak System and wrap up with my first impressions of the product and the installation.

Since a trip to Reiter Trails ORV with Kelly from MuddyBeards4x4 back in the summer, I got really high centered and my Engine Oil Pan was sitting on a rock... Fortunately it only kissed it and only left a scratch but from then on I knew that I needed to get a full undercarriage system for my JKU.

I had been patiently researching different systems and tracking sales of the products in the past. Coming up on Labor Day I made the decision to go with MetalCloaks UnderCloak Integrated Armor System

There were several factors that lead me to this system.
1) Price - Coming in at $1500 MSRP with 10% off for Labor Day making it $1350 including Tax and Shipping
2) Replacement HD Crossmember Included, not an extra cost (necessary for me since my factory one was bashed up!)
3) Already coated for protection, no need to invest the time or money to paint it or have it coated
4) Skid Guard Washer and All Hardware Included and ready to bolt in (with a few holes to be drilled and nutserts to install)

For my Jeep JKU I required something that would sufficiently protect the undercarriage and eliminate that terribly designed rock catcher... If you have gone out in the rocks in you JK or JKU you know the spot I am talking about! That nicely designed void after the factory crossmember and before the rear tube of the transfer case skid plate and between the gas tank skid plate and the transfer case skid plate.

The install was pretty straight forward with detailed instructions available online. It was a tad tricky to install by ones self but I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make it easier!

I intended to get this video up before my trip to Reiter over the weekend but I was not able to finish it up in time. But I can report that the MetalCloak UnderCloak System did not disappoint and I dropped hard on some rocks, pulled myself over several more, and I walked away with just minor scratches and a couple little dings!
