The vendor showcase put on by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers during the Moab Easter Safari is a great place to check out the latest off-road wares, buy parts for your 4x4, and hopefully win some great prizes in the raffle. Since we just returned from Moab, this month's new product section is directly from the vendors in Moab. The show usually runs Thursday and Friday of the week leading up to Easter Sunday, and is held at the Spanish Trail Arena just south of downtown Moab, so don't miss it next year.
Wheelie Ramp
On the drive home from Moab we came across some folks with a blown tire on their Airstream trailer. Luckily we had a set of Rocker Jacks from Valley Industries. These curved aluminum jacks can support up to 20,000 pounds and are great for fixing a blowout on a dual-axle trailer, and we impressed the Airstream owners with the ease by which we had them back on the road (it didn't hurt that we had our cordless impact on hand too). These rocker jacks can also help level your camper or trailer. Information: Valley Industries, 209.368.8881, www.valleyindustries.com
