Kingpin Dana 60 High-Steer Arms
Mad4WD has just come out with high-steer arms for kingpin Dana 60 axles that are machined from billet cold-rolled steel and are 1-inch thick. The spring cover and lock are also machined out of solid billet, replacing the stamped-steel cover. The arms feature a 10-degree angled plane to offset steering-joint misalignment. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Mad4WD prefers to offer these arms blank, giving the customer the option of drilling or reaming steering-link mounting holes himself. This way the arm is not weakened with extra holes. However, you can also order them predrilled for specific applications. The steering arms are also compatible with Reid Racing (formerly Dedenbear) steering knuckles.

It's Time To Buy Your Man A Ring
Champion Beadlock has just released its newest beadlock ring style. The Rock Thrasher ring is the latest and greatest for hardcore rockcrawlers. With integrated Rock Knobs, the Rock Thrasher ring is designed to protect the tire, wheel, and beadlock mounting bolts as well as give additional traction when rubbed against rocks on the trail. Champion carries the Rock Thrasher already installed on American Racing 15-, 16-, and 17-inch wheels, or you can have your existing aluminum wheels converted in two to three business days. Available in polished, red, blue, black, and gold finishes.

Hit The Brakes
Large vehicles can now enjoy shorter stopping distances, reduced fade, and greater wear-resistance thanks to The Brake Man's SuperBrakes kit. Using OEM-style rotors treated with The Brake Man's proprietary thermal process, and brake pads with an exclusive blend of friction materials, these brakes are showing results in performance that rival aftermarket brake systems at a fraction of the cost. During a recent test, after 65,000 miles, the thermally processed rotors exhibited only 0.003-inch runout. With a retail price of less than $1,000, these are a great option.
