SYSTEM 1 FILTRATION SYSTEMS
“Cleanable” Oil Filter

System 1, the oil filtration experts, has introduced a new canister-style oil filter with an easily removable stainless steel mesh element. This facilitates prompt inspection of the lubricant for engine-damaging debris, and eliminates messy filter bisections.

Engineered to fit virtually any engine block or remote mount, the housing is CNC machined from billet aluminum and black anodized. A 45-micron element is standard, but 30 and 75-micron elements are an available option.

An important money-saving benefit of the System 1 oil filter is the ability to simply clean and re-install the mesh element, eliminating the need to constantly replace spin-on type filters. It’s an investment that will pay dividends in saving time and money for years to come.

PPE DIESEL
Deep-Capacity Cast Aluminum Oil Pan

PPE introduces a brand new, high-capacity oil pan that solves the GM Duramax L5P complete oil drainage problem. The L5P is a powerful workhorse but when you do regular oil changes, the stock GM pan retains over half a quart of the dirtiest oil. This old oil is trapped in the valley of the stock pan and never drains out. It immediately contaminates your fresh oil.

EDITOR RECOMMENDED

PPE solves that filthy problem with a flat, angled bottom, designed for more complete drainage. The PPE pan’s higher volume holds an additional two quarts of oil. Your engine’s fluid capacity is increased, as well as its thermal stamina, which creates a longer service life. Engine temperatures are further reduced because the PPE L5P Oil Pan is constructed of thick, cast aluminum alloy, designed with internal ribs that add strength and rigidity. Plus, we’ve tapped the side with a convenient NPT port if you want to run a temperature sensor.

Applications: 2017-2019 GM 6.6L L5P Duramax trucks

SMITTYBILT
New Steel-Formed Off-Road Bumper for the Jeep® JK/JL

Smittybilt’s Stryker Modular Bumper is perfect for rock crawling or everyday driving, blending rugged strength with modern styling.

A bolt-on inner winch plate (when fitted with a winch up to 12k), integrated lift points and 7/8” D-ring mounts makes recovery a breeze. The heavy-duty reinforced skid plate with added lower mounting support protects your front end from rock damage.

GEARWRENCH
Grip any rusted or rounded fastener 
with Bolt Biter

Bolt Biter is the revolutionary new extraction socket system from Gearwrench.

Bolt Biter grips rusted or rounded fasteners instead of cutting into them, which means that these sockets last 10 times longer than the competition when used with an impact gun. That’s why they carry a lifetime warranty; we built Bolt Biter to match the strength of our traditional impact sockets. Bolt Biter has a bi-directional design that can tighten or re-use a damaged fastener just as well as it can remove it, making it perfect for specialized components. But durability and re-use are just the start. This improved design also seats easily onto the fastener, so you don’t have to swing a mallet under the hood. Fasteners don’t get jammed in the socket – unlike old-school extraction sockets. Bolt Biter even fits a wider range of fasteners, with “minus-size” sockets designed to fit onto fasteners worn down past their original size. Forge Ahead with Bolt Biter, the innovative leader in extraction.

THERMO TEC
Thermo-Tec introduces the new Thermo-Flow Modular Cooler system

The only completely modular cooling system on the market, Thermo-Flow Modular Coolers expand the cooling capacity of intercoolers, oil cooling systems, transmissions, power steering systems and fuel systems, making them suitable for an endless variety of performance and high-heat applications.

“The Thermo-Flow Modular Coolers’ unique design of cooling fins within the inner and outer surfaces provides maximum cooling efficiency by pulling the heat out of any liquid that passes through them and dissipating it into the ambient air,” said James White of Thermo-Tec. “It’s a cooling system that’s only limited by your imagination.”

Durable, serviceable, expandable and Made in the USA, the patent-pending system was developed so that it can be changed to meet specific requirements and operate in many variable situations. Airflow, the rate of flow of the liquid passing through, the viscosity of the liquid, ambient air temperature and the amount of water vapor in the air are all major factors in determining the performance.

TOTAL CONTROL PRODUCTS
Mini-Tub g-link Suspension 
for ’64-70 Mustangs

The Mini-Tub g-Link rear suspension from Total Control Products is the quickest route to your modern pro-touring build with high horsepower and substantially larger tires and wheels. Evolving from their familiar line of canted 4-link suspensions, the Mini-Tub g-Link features relocated forward suspension mounts and optional offset frame rails to create an additional 2-3/4” of tire clearance per side. Due to the increased levels of traction and torque possible with a mini-tubbed vehicle the factory-welded FAB9 rear end housing is highly recommend. However, customers wishing to use their existing Ford 9” rear end housing can choose to weld-on the control arm brackets using an optional fixture. Billet-steel upper arms and your choice of tubular-steel or billet-aluminum lowers arms feature zero-deflection pivot-ball joints for reliable, precise control of suspension movement. Further suspension choices include splined-end anti-roll bar and VariShock single-, double- or 4-way adjustable coil-over or air-spring shocks to perfectly configure the system for your specific level of performance or stance. Currently applications include ‘64-70 Mustangs.

AIR LIFT
Air Lift 1000™ – for the 2020 
Jeep Gladiator

Easily inserted into the rear coil springs of the Gladiator, this adjustable load support solution works with the vehicle’s existing suspension, doing away with many of the problems frequently faced with towing or hauling heavy loads. Squat, poor headlight aim, unresponsive steering, trailer sway, body roll, and bottoming out are eliminated by simply adding air when towing or hauling, and releasing air when riding empty. By properly leveling the load, squat is eliminated, braking is improved, and the vehicle is returned to a level and stable state, allowing users to tow and haul with safety and  comfort.

The Air Lift 1000 system is air adjustable from 5 to 35 PSI, making them completely customizable depending on the weight of the load. Whether the vehicle is loaded or unloaded, the volume of the air springs will improve the overall ride quality.

BUBBA ROPE
NexGen PRO, the Strongest Synthetic Shackle on the Market

The Gator-Jaw synthetic shackle series is used recreationally and commercially for safely connecting vehicle or equipment recovery ropes and tow straps. The NexGen PRO is made from high modulus polyethylene fiber rope, which is a lighter and safer replacement for heavy steel shackles and hooks. Bubba Rope engineered this new synthetic shackle in a way that eliminates the same rope-weakening splices found in other soft-shackle designs, by using an epoxy rubber slider that slips over the patented knot. The result is a shackle that is flexible enough to wrap around or through almost any pulling point, and with a higher tensile strength than steel.

RED LINE
RL-600 Full Synthetic Brake Fluid

Repeated hard braking, such as in race conditions, generates a great amount of heat and places the brake fluid under immense pressure.  Both conditions can be detrimental to the operation of the brakes, as the brake fluid can boil and become compressible, leading to vapor lock and brake fade. RL-600 is developed to resist these issues and maintain lubricity, compressibility and viscosity under the most extreme conditions at the race track or on the street. Additionally, Red Line’s RL-600 can blend with DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids, delivering more responsive and consistent pedal feel.
