Al's Liner DIY Coating System
Al's Liner announces its acrylic/polyurethane DIY coating system. Spray-applied urethane coatings commonly used for bed liners can be expensive and limit your color options and application abilities. Al's Liner allows Do-it-Yourselfers to apply a professional grade coating to a vast number of substrates in any color or thickness desired. Al's provides an easy mix-and-apply option at a fraction of the cost.

Re-Charge Your Batteries Anywhere
Re-chargeable batteries are great as long as you have access to a 110V AC power source for the charger. Out in the backcountry, the lack of a 110V AC power source can be a problem unless you have the Brunton Battery Solo BattPack. This charger works from an internal lithium ion battery, and will re-charge AA and AAA re-chargeable batteries. If the internal lithium ion battery gets low, it can be re-charged in the backcountry using an optional solar panel. The Solo BattPack can also be recharged using a 110V wall outlet.
Other features include:
1. Digital readout of the battery level for each battery
2. Refresh button to discharge batteries before charging
3. Flip down AC plug to charge in an outlet
4. 2 AA and 2 AAA rechargeable batteries included
5. Dimensions - 3x5x1.25 inches
6. Weight - 6.6 oz
7. Power/Current - 5.5V

Daystar GM Rack Bushings
Starting in 2007, GM switched all of its 1/2-ton trucks and SUVs to a rack-and-pinion steering system rather than a traditional steering box. While this change may have refined the handling of these vehicles, the overly soft rubber bushings that are used for the rack mounts cause numerous steering issues when a larger tire and wheel package is added to the vehicle. Daystar now offers heavy-duty replacement polyurethane bushings that solve these problems and "tighten up" steering feel, making them a beneficial upgrade for stock and modified vehicles alike.

Blitzkrieg Motorsports 2007-and-newer Chevy Upper Control Arm Kit
Blitzkrieg Motorsports has introduced its latest upper control arm kit for the 2007-and-newer Chevy/GMC trucks and SUVs. These upper control arms look great, but they also correct the pivot angle and allow for more droop travel. What does this mean? Better suspension geometry and handling, along with more wheel travel.
These arms are made using a tabbed-and-slotted plate construction technique. This feature interlocks every piece of the assembly, increasing its strength and overall structural integrity.One-inch spherical bearings along with 17-4 stainless steel BMS high misalignment spacers work together as the outer pivot. In order for the spherical bearing to be compatible with the stock upright, a heat treated 4140 pin, coupled with grade 8 hardware, adapt the bearing to the stock steering knuckle configuration. All hardware necessary (bearings, bushings, sleeves, pins, nuts, washers) is included. This kit does not require any cutting or welding to install. This new arm is compatible with all stock-type replacement shocks on the market.

Bushwacker Tacoma Fender Flares
Few accessories look better on a Toyota Tacoma than larger, wider mud terrain tires. But the main drawback to larger tires is the amount of mud, water and debris that can be kicked up on the truck's body, side windows and mirrors. That's where Bushwacker Cut-Out Fender Flares come in.
As one of Bushwacker's most popular-selling products, Cut-Out Flares for the 1995.5-2004 Toyota Tacoma not only help protect from body-damaging mud and debris, but they also further the aggressive, off-road look of any Tacoma. Cut-Out Flares for the Tacoma deliver an additional 3 inches of tire coverage as well as 1 inch of wheel well opening to accommodate 33x12.5-inch tires.
