International Service Helps “Trick out” Jeep, One Part at a Time


Being a typical guy, my main hobby is off-roading and messing around with new parts for my jeep. In January of this year, I decided to consolidate my life and try something new. So I sold my furniture, most of my stuff, and (unfortunately) my jeep, and decided to relocate to Australia with no plan and just the cash in my pocket. Once here, I was able to find a cheap apartment, an undemanding job (just something to pay the bills,) and a new jeep. Well, not new actually, the jeep needed and still needs some serious refurbishment. I don’t have a lot of extra money, so I do it one part at a time.


I found a website called Metalcloak.com. They are based in the US, but they use an international parcel forwarder called Bongo International. This has made getting all the parts I need affordable on my small salary, and the international shipment takes a quick 4-5 days. I saved up for a couple of months to purchase an Arch Tube Fender set. It was sick! It came with 2 fenders and access plates, the inner wells, 2 replacement battery trays, and all the hardware required for installation. I saved money too, because it was easy to do myself.


The entire transaction was super smooth, and I’ve already picked out my next items to purchase. First, the Bullet Marker Lights in chrome. I can’t wait to install them; they’re really bright LED, but completely street legal. At $50.00 a pop, I don’t even have to wait until my next paycheck. If I order them today, Bongo International will have them in AU in no time. Then the Rocker Rails and Rear Flares; so many things to choose from! I’m so stoked to have come across this site and will continue to trick out my jeep one part at a time.
