 Maybe it's good for mounting...  Maybe it's good for mounting a picnic table on or something...we don't know....  And we thought the little...  And we thought the little spinning-propeller hitch covers were lame. How do you feel about hanging your trailer from a dog tongue?  We think this TV-monitor-in-vehicles...  We think this TV-monitor-in-vehicles thing is getting a little out of hand. One in every headrest was bad enough, but....  RCV Performance brought this...  RCV Performance brought this cool axleshaft-snapping machine that measures how much force it takes to break an axle. Besides the sheer entertainment of the device, it also gave a first-hand experience of how much stronger the new CV shafts are that replace standard front Dana 60 axleshaft and U-joint combinations.  Sometimes the most ingenious...  Sometimes the most ingenious inventions are some of the simplest. There's no rocket science here, but why hasn't somebody thought up and produced a radiator cap with a full-sweep temperature gauge before now? Kudos to Thermo Cap for the best product we saw under $20.  Maybe we've been thinking...  Maybe we've been thinking too small when it comes to tires. Maybe it's time our industry stepped up to some all-terra or farm-implement tires like these from GPX International. We remember when 33s were huge, and now they look kinda tiny. Those 44s are starting to suffer the same fate.  Oh good, now someone's made...  Oh good, now someone's made a slightly less useless version that has even more room for groceries and shopping bags from the Banana Republic.  We've seen some unique and...  We've seen some unique and space-saving ways to mount your Hi-Lift jack, but this might be a little much. We think the cost of mounting a product should not be eight times the price of the product itself.  Universal Air had some pretty...  Universal Air had some pretty trick coilovers on display and mounted in a TJ in its booth. We like the idea of having the ability to adjust the height via airbags, but still having coilovers and not relying on completely air-sprung suspension, which could possibly leave you stranded if an airbag failed.  Stereos in rigs are somewhat...  Stereos in rigs are somewhat of a debate at the magazine, with Editor Rick Pewe hating 'em and Feature Editor Jerrod Jones loving 'em. But even Jones has to question a subwoofer so big that you need an engine hoist to lift it.  And we thought the little...  And we thought the little spinning-propeller hitch covers were lame. How do you feel about hanging your trailer from a dog tongue?  From the mind of Norm Grabowski...  From the mind of Norm Grabowski comes this bitchin' '37 Ford truck. Norm's World included all the fine touches like a real wood front bumper (Dos Equis bottle attached) emblazoned with a "Boogie 'til you Puke" slogan, beer-keg fuel tanks, smokestacks, and a roof-mounted horn. Yeah, it's not 4WD, but it's definitely cool.
