MC is starting to make it's way into my mind. In my area I only know of one person running MC, but I've been checking out Texas groups since considering a move down there and MC seems way more popular down that way.

I don't personally run MC but I've heard they are amazing on road and off. When it's time to upgrade my lift, that's the one I'm most likely going with. The parts shop I deal with has nothing but great things to say about them. Specifically their joints on the control arms

I was a Rock Krawler fan boy until Metal Cloak arrived. I now like both equally well for different reasons.
I think they both have their place, depending on how the rig is used or more accurately customer priorities.
My rig is a daily driver (130 miles a day) and occasional weekend warrior (2 times a month max., more like once a month) and having had solid joints in the past (and to this day in my Mustang) I wanted NVH minimized. MC with it's "rubber" bushings for me. My XJ was daily driver (9 miles a day) and more trail focused. Solid joints on it, and life was really quite fine.

My thoughts exactly. If it's a dedicated trail rig or something that sees off-road more than it sees pavement, solid joints no problem but you really can't go wrong with the MC's. Vibration is isolated and great flex. I personally like the gold accents underneath
