Quality Clutch LinkageNow you can replace that sloppy, worn out clutch linkage with a new style, zero free play, rod end bearing linkage designed specifically for '76-'86 CJ Jeeps. Engineered as a direct replacement for the factory linkage, the bearing ends provide a more durable component and very smooth operation. The bearing requires no lubrication and is self-cleaning, therefore no maintenance is required. The rod ends also allow as much as 15 degrees of pivot to accommodate for frame flex while four-wheeling. The pushrods are upgraded to a stout 9/16-inch OD with 3/8-inch mounting hardware. These are simple bolt-on kits with no additional hardware needed. The kits include upper and lower push rods, fasteners, spacers, and washers.

Exhaust LocksU-bolts can permanently deform your expensive exhaust system and don't always offer the best seal. Pi-Thon Designs have developed FireLock exhaust clamps that make assembly and disassembly much easier and give your exhaust system a clean, custom look. Each FireLock is CNC-machined from billet T-304 stainless steel and uses two internal compression rings to clamp down on butted sections of exhaust tubing. No slip fits or tubing expanders are required. Simply cut the tubing to length, slide the ends into a FireLock, and tighten the threaded outer ends. The stainless steel material is great for resisting corrosion in harsh environments and is an ideal match for any stainless steel exhaust system. No more cutting off rusted U-bolts.

Air System For Your RigNow you can inflate large 35x12.5Rx15 tires in about a minute, reseat a tire bead, and use your air tools without a tank with the Oasis Off-Road HD On-Board Air Compressor System. The extremely powerful 12-volt DC air compressor is now available in a complete bolt-on package designed for four-wheelers. The high-performance air compressor uses a 2.5hp winch-type motor directly coupled to a York compressor, which runs at 1,650 rpm at 12 volts. Tests at 12 volts have shown outputs from 14 cfm at 0 psi to 8 cfm at 100 psi, with a maximum pressure of 175 psi. The Trailhead system uses a unique high-output design that operates on standard vehicle electrical systems yet consumes no more power than other compressors for the same task. The compressor is compact enough to mount in a Jeep-it measures 17x7x10 inches and weighs 45 pounds-and comes with 10 feet of power cable.
