Maybe you have a company and want to know how to get your stuff in New Products. If you have a new truck- or 4x4-related product you'd like us to help you debut, e-mail an image and some text about the product to jerrod.jones@primedia.com. Please have all images be no less than 1600 x 1200 pixels (or two megapixels) and be saved as a TIFF, an EPS, or a maximum-quality JPEG file so our art director doesn't shoot us. We can't use images off of any Word documents or Adobe Acrobat files, so be sure to include a separate image in the proper format, or it won't be run. Thanks again. We love seeing all the new stuff you guys come up with!

Keep Heat In and Out
As far as exhaust heat is concerned, you want to keep it in the exhaust system and out of the engine compartment. DEI has given a new look to its popular exhaust wrap, now offering it in black rolls of 15-, 50-, and 100-foot lengths in either 1- or 2-inch widths. The wrap will stand up to 2,000 degrees F and will blend in a little better than that dirty white junk that's hanging tattered off your headers.
