Even Grander
There is a certain peace of mind that comes with having an ARB bumper installed on your vehicle. Now, Jeep Grand Cherokee owners can experience the feeling because ARB has just released its new Bull Bar for the Grand Cherokee.
Bull Bar mounting systems are engineered to ensure optimum functionality and a perfect fit. Developed for the unibody structure of the new Grand to spread loads evenly across the platform under both winching and impact conditions, the bumper does not interfere with the vehicle crush rate or sensitive airbag deployment systems. In addition, it is built to accommodate Warn low-mount winches rated from 8,000 to 9,500 pounds. For extra peace of mind, the Bull Bar also incorporates tow points into the mounting assembly and Hi-Lift jacking points in the front pan.

Grip Not Slip
The new Hercules Trail Digger M/T is one tough tire, featuring an aggressive variable-pitch, high-sidewall design for traction at all angles in every type of terrain. The shoulder of the Trail Digger M/T is designed with stone "blockers" to increase puncture resistance. The extra-large scooping tread lugs give the new tire great off-road traction in mud, gravel, and sand. Within those lugs are stud pinholes so the snow and ice become nonfactors in your pursuit to dig a new trail, wherever you may be. Initial launch of the Hercules Trail Digger M/T will consist of 11 sizes with rim sizes ranging from 15 to 17 inches and overall diameters ranging from 28 to 35 inches.

Proper Protection
Having the right bumper on your rig for protection is important; however, don't forget to equip your vehicle with one that will also perform the proper duties. Olympic 4x4 Products just released its new Wrecker bumper (PN 253) for '97-'06 Jeep Wrangler TJs and LJs. It has a deflective angle for off-road styling and uses heavy-duty 3.8-inch steel mounting brackets that are predrilled for easy installation. The bumper has a fully functional 2-inch receiver hitch with a 2,500-pound capacity. It is also fully compatible with Olympic's Dave's Rack (PN 921).
