March & April
Truck & SUV gear from such manufactures as Transfer Flow, Agri-Cover, Leer, and more!



Methanology
Snow Performance's MPG MAX system was designed to increase torque, decrease exhaust-gas temps, and improve fuel economy. An injection-management controller sprays a small amount of water/methanol, providing power without causing more diesel fuel to be injected. A second injection stage adds more fluid for more power. The system's LCD screen displays boost, EGT, and injection-pump output. Snow Performance; 866/365-2762.

Strip Search
Ever have to fish for a screwdriver from your toolbox in the dark? Truck Covers USA makes sets of LED light strips that can be installed inside a toolbox or in the truck bed itself. American Cargo Lights are offered in three- and four-foot lengths, come with an on/off switch and two-way jumper and power connectors, and can be powered with a battery pack or wired into the truck's electrical system. Truck Covers USA; 858/622-9135.

Jack Squat
The Jack Rack provides a way to store your floor jack on the wall of your garage, out of the way when not in use. The steel powdercoated rack, built to hold up to 100 pounds, is made for use with aluminum and aluminum/steel jacks. The formed cradle is 5-3/4 inches wide; any jack with an inside width larger than that can be stored on this rack. T&J Manufacturing; 727/462-9968.

It includes a Thule roof-rack system with optional accessories, ceiling-mounted nylon gear net, interior carpet headliner, three-way 12-volt power outlet block, and dual dome lights. Leer; 800/444-5337.

ATV Receiver
Agri-Cover's two-inch all-terrain vehicle rear receiver can make your trail machine a tow machine. The application-specific receiver installs to the ATV ball-mount hitch. Receivers are currently offered for the Kawasaki Brute Force, Suzuki King Quad, Yamaha Grizzly, and Honda Rancher. Agri-Cover; 888/357-5091.

Getting Tanked

The powdercoated toolbox/tank is made from 14-gauge aluminized steel and is baffled in two places on all four sides; the tank comes pre-assembled. The unit will fit in full-size short- and longbed Dodge, Ford, and GM HD pickups. Transfer Flow; 800/442-0056.
