Dana 60 DifferentialRockcrusher Products is proud to announce the new Rockcrusher 60R high-pinion differential housing now available in the U.S. The Rockcrusher 60R was designed for the serious four-wheeler who demands performance and value. Whether you are out on the trail for fun and adventure or pushing the limits in competition, the Rockcrusher 60R will deliver the advantages you are looking for. The Rockcrusher offers 35 percent more clearance, and 80 percent more strength than a standard Dana 60 differential. The Rockcrusher also offers a super-efficient lubrication system with three oiling galleries for reduced pinion-bearing wear. Other features include three integrated mounting plates for custom suspension links or torque bars, heat-treated 100 percent ductile Australian steel casing for strength, a heavy-duty cast cover, and a large-diameter fill hole for easy servicing. The Rockcrusher 60R is 20 pounds lighter than other high-pinion D60 housings and offers thick bearing caps and re-enforced ribbing for strength and reliability.

Portable WelderExtreme four-wheeling can certainly take its toll on any rig out on the trail. To handle the breakage, it's a wise decision to take along all the necessary tools, especially a mobile welder. Mobile Welding & Power Inc. has released two new products: MOBI-ARC and MOBI-POWER. MOBI-ARC is a highly efficient, completely solid-state control and delivery device designed to connect to virtually any alternator. During normal driving conditions, the alternator is regulated at an automotive-friendly 14.65 volts. When the welding leads are connected to the control unit and an arc is struck, MOBI-ARC automatically and instantly switches the alternator into a high-current mode that protects the vehicle's battery and electrical system. Optional mode select is available for many different usages. MOBI-POWER is an optional accessory that includes a UL-approved, splash-proof, 120-volt DC power outlet that can drive halogen lighting; universal power tools, such as grinders, sanders, and saws; and two performance levels, 2,500 watts and 4,500 watts.
