Plug And Play
Professional Products has engineered a user-friendly engine management system that can run TBI, multiport, and even forced-induction EFI systems with up to 30 psi of boost. Just fire up and drive it for about 30 minutes and the Smart-Tune technology simply tunes the engine while you drive. The Stage 2 EMS utilizes a wide-band O2 sensor to continually tune and adjust the engine for varying conditions and driving styles. Installation is simple with a minimum number of wires that are clearly labeled and fitted with OE-style GM connectors. Information: Professional Products, 323.779.2020, www.professional-products.com

Tiny Trail Tires
ITP has just released two new TerraCross R/T tires for ATVs and UTVs. These new sizes are designed for less sidewall flex for precise steering and exceptional control. Being lighter than previous sizes, they reduce horsepower losses and allow the operator to retain OEM gearing characteristics. This tire's wrap-around shoulder-lug design provides excellent sidewall protection and grip when navigating trails with large ruts or rocks as well. And it has a super-tough six-ply construction.

Tighter Tubes
Get tight-fitting tube joints with the PipeMaster. Slide the PipeMaster over your tube and push the housing down far enough so the spring-tempered stainless steel rods match the shape of the joint. Pull the tool back up the tube far enough to trace the shape outlined by the rods. Cut along that line and the tube is ready to be welded in place. Tool sizes range from 1/2 inch to 12 inches and are also available in four popular kits. Information: PipeMaster, 360.668.3291, www.pipemastertools.com

Moab Metal
The M4O-GTJK kit was designed to combat collapsing track-bar mounts and link brackets. After a trend of repairs seen in the shop at The Moab 4x4 Outpost, the fabrication team decided there was a real need to build a kit solving this issue. Much like problems seen on TJ models, the OEM mounts tend to fold, bend, or shear completely off. This five-piece weld-on kit solves the problem on all JK model Jeeps. It works with most lift kits, and the company offers a similar kit for TJs. Information: Moab 4x4 Outpost, 435.259.1109, www.moab4x4outpost.com
