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 to newproducts@4wheeloffroad.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!

Fiberglass Flexers
Teraflex has been perfecting fiberglass leaf-spring technology for the Jeep Wrangler YJ spring-over Fiberflex kit. The fiberglass monoleaves offer full suspension travel and articulation, while minimizing axlewrap and wheelhop. It is also said to drive excellently on the road. The FiberFlex leaves can be bought complete with the S/T Sway Bar system and High Steer system. Information: Tera Manufacturing, 801.288.2585, www.teraflex.biz
4-In-One Gauges
Auto Meter's newest gauge configuration lets you stuff four gauges into one spot for a 3 3/8-inch-diameter gauge, allowing you to still get all your necessary info, even on a cramped dash. Now water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage can all be displayed with a single gauge that can be found in designer black or arctic white. Of course, Auto Meter has a matching speedo available as well. Information: Auto Meter, 815.895.8147, www.autometer.com
Tools For Your Kitchen
Can't get enough of having a wrench in your hands? Try grabbing on to one or two while you're eating! Wrenchware has a new line of 18/10 stainless steel silverware in standard and miniature sizes that are all usable, machine washable, and microwave friendly. We didn't think you could put metal in the microwave...have we missed some leap in kitchen-related technology? Information: Wrenchware, www.wrenchwareinc.com
Dimpled
Adding flared holes to metal plate not only reduces weight but also adds strength. Light Racing has precision flared hole dies from 3/4 inch to 6 inches in diameter, to make almost any size dimpled hole you could need. They are designed to eliminate tearing even with 4130 chromoly and can punch through chromoly up to .090 and .125 mild steel. The flared hole dies are sold separately, or can be purchased in packages. Information: Light Racing, 800.525.6505, www.lightracing.com
