Welcome to Skillz Day!
Where confidence meets capability!
Whether you just bought your Jeep or you’ve been eyeing the trails but aren’t quite sure where to start, this is your day. Developed by MetalCloak over a decade ago, Skillz Day is designed to give new Jeep owners the knowledge, confidence, and hands-on experience they wish they had from day one.
Join us for a full day of guided, real-world training at Hungry Valley SVRA—all in a safe, supportive, and supervised environment.
For just $25 per driver and $15 per passenger, you’ll walk away with skills that will completely change the way you experience your Jeep.
