  • 2011 Off Road Expo Giant Motorsports Suspension
    This is Giant Motorsports’ Daily Driver Link suspension for the rear of trucks. It uses two links off the frame and Radflo air shock to keep the rear axle in check. The air shock allows the axle to twist slightly under load and then return to position, keeping everything working smoothly.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Giant Motorsports Suspension Detail
    A panhard rod (track bar) locates the axle laterally. By linking a truck this way instead of with a triangulated four-link, an owner is able to keep stock components like a factory fuel tank.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Je Reel 1500 Joint
    J.E. Reel’s new 1500 joint. Just to give you a size comparison, that is a 1350 CV joint sitting to the right of it. If you have no solution for the CV driveshaft you keep tearing up, J.E. Reel might have one for you now.

    What would any show be without at least one race hero signing pictures? Thanks for always coming out to support the events, Mr. Evans.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Fk Rod Ends
    FK’s three-piece rod ends are made in the USA. That’s something we love to see.
  • 2011 Off Road Expo Bundu Gear Tents
    These roof-top tents from Bundu Gear are made from high-grade materials and are triple-stitched for longevity and toughness against the elements. They’ve got dual moon roofs, and are really some of the nicest tents that we’ve seen.

    King’s answer to other shock companies’ oil coolers. There are now TIG-welded billet fins on the bypass tubes of the 4.5 King Kong bypass shocks.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Kibbe Tech Prerunners
    Some of the coolest stuff to see at the Off Road Expo is often in the parking lot of the fairgrounds, like these two Kibbe Tech prerunners.

    A new prototype bumper from DT Products. Lights go in the four front holes, or a single slot for an LED bar can be ordered, too.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Crossover Steering Kit Detail
    Gen Right had one of the most innovative products at the show. They built a crossover steering kit that uses a bellcrank and a linear bearing to allow the steering link to travel front to rear, and in the same arc as the suspension links, therefore allowing a triangulated four-link and negating a track bar.

  • 2011 Off Road Expo Crossover Steering Kit
    Very cool, but you’ll need to have an entire Gen Right double-triangulated four link suspension to run the steering system.
