Jack Be Still
The Hi-Lift Jack is a pillar of the off-road scene, and the company has a new mounting system for your trial rig. Designed for attaching a Hi-Lift Jack to round-tube bumpers, rollbars, or tubular roof racks, these 6061-T6 aluminum and stainless steel mounts clamp to tubing 1-3 inches in diameter as well as some square tubing.

Express Bumpers
Rubicon Express has a new bump tower kit for the Jeep JK Wrangler. Incorporating the Light Racing Jounce Bumpers, the kit is designed to install the bumpers inside the front coils and on the framerail above the axle in the rear. Bumpstops are a good upgrade for drivers looking for high-speed off-road performance where bottoming out the suspension would be detrimental.

JK Tera Tackler
Tera Manufacturing is expanding its axle line with a JK-specific rear axle that will retain the use of the factory ABS and ESP sensors to maintain factory computer communication and driveability. This axle is based on Tera's CRD 60R Dana 60 housing, designed with a smooth radius bottom to glide over rocks and obstacles, and comes complete with 35-spline semifloat axleshafts, R&P ratios up to 5.38, and a locker of choice. The housing is fitted with CNC bracketry and a TeraFlex heavy-duty cast cover, yet the factory brake system is retained for simplicity. Information: Tera Mfg., 801.288.2585, www.teraflex.biz
Idle Easy
The '88-'98 GM trucks are hard on pitman and idler arms, so Cognito Motorsports is offering a new support bracket kit to give them a boost. Designed to battle the premature wear these components often have when larger tires are being run, the kit uses spherical rod ends to allow controlled movement.

Cable Control
MileMarker has a new winch model available with a unique variable speed controller. The winch features an innovative solid-state control system packaged with extreme sealing, diagnostic feedback, a powerful 6.5hp motor, and rugged planetary gearsets.

Even Tougher 205
Advance Adapters has introduced a heavy-duty rear output for the popular NP205 transfer case. Built from a proprietary material similar in strength to 300M, this output is available as a fixed-yoke kit for slip-yoke style 205s or as a replacement piece.

Little Pro-Rock
Dynatrac is known for its Pro-Rock 60 and now it has a little brother, the Pro-Rock 44. Built around the Jeep JK ring-and-pinion gearset, the 44 offers greater strength, a stiffer housing, and better ground clearance. Plus the housings can use both the JK selectable locker and any of the aftermarket Dana 44 lockers when outfitted with JK Dana 44 gears. Information: Dynatrac, 714.596.4461, www.dynatrac.com
Cool Switches
Products that make you go, "Why didn't I think of that?" are awesome . These new TJ air vent switches do just that. The folks at Daystar figured out that the air vents in TJs were almost wasted space (especially if you run with no top), so they mounted a set of twin switches there to power any electrical accessories you have, plus the vent is still usable around the switches.
