More Pep In Your Step
AMP Research's newest Power Step is for the all-new 2008 Toyota Sequoia. The step is a full-length runningboard that automatically lowers when any door opens. When the doors close, the board retracts under the rocker panel. Controlling the step is a weathertight motor and drive system. Each step is rated to carry 600 pounds and to prevent pinching, it will stop moving if it encounters resistance. AMP Research; 888/983-2209.

Brute Force
AEM's Brute Force is available for 2007 Dodge Rams equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel. To fit in the tight confines of the engine bay, the intake's 21-inch inlet pipe is constructed from roto-molded polypropylene, which is more heat resistant. The intake comes with an oil-free reusable filter that's said to increase airflow by up to 81 percent more than stock. Intakes are available for late-model Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke engines. AEM; 310/484-2322.

In The Dog House
The PupHut, used to protect dogs from the elements, just got safer. Now every PupHut comes with the company's three-point dog restraint. The restraint prevents your dog from being thrown from the bed; the canopy protects Rex from debris and extreme heat. The PupHut, which uses a powdercoated steel frame and a UV-protective coating on the canopy, fits most full-size pickup trucks-no tools required. M4 Products; 866/4-PUPHUT (478-7488).
