The results were impressive to say the …

Hypertech’s Hyperpac

If I’ve said it once, I’ve screamed it a hundred times – I love easy! Easy is good, and adding gobs of power to diesel trucks is getting easier and easier. But sometimes, ‘easy’ just ain’t enough, and Hypertech didn’t stop with just easy either, nor did they rest on their laurels. In today’s dog-eat-dog world of making more and …

Innovate Motorsports’ RAD-1 Digital Inclinometer

Innovate Motorsports’ RAD (Rollover Avoidance Device) inclinometer system is a new twist on an old concept – keeping your rig’s roof pointing up and the tires pointing down, not vice versa. Inclinometers though, have been around as long as I can remember, and they get their roots from the aviation industry. They are bloody simple by design… some floating, weighted …

Lowrance iWay 500C GPS System

Men hate asking for directions almost as much as we hate a visit to the dentist or nails on a chalk board. Asking for directions falls somewhere between visits from our mother-in-law and getting kicked in the… well, you know. It isn’t our fault, though.

Accel Extreme 9000 Spark Plug Wires

Our old plug wires had burnt through their protective sheilding in just 5 hours of usage. It’s a deplorable action, a sin amongst sins, an outrageous, awful, appalling act of omission. You take the time to put two coats of wax on your rig, you spend the extra $18 on the really good engine oil, you may even go as far …

Mile Marker Electric Winch Review E12000 & E9000 models

  Competition is a great thing – really. Whether it’s two competitors dukeing it out on a rock course, or more than one manufacturer making a similar product – competition drives the opposing forces to do or make something better, faster, stronger or even less expensive– which of course is a great thing for the consumer. This brings us to …

TomTom Go 700 Portable Navigation Unit

I’ll admit it, I’m a gadget guy. If it beeps, blinks, flashes, or performs some useful task that I may or may not use, I want it. When the boss-man and I began discussing our annual trek to Moab, which included a long road trip through the desolate southwestern deserts, we decided this would be the perfect time and place …
