Built-to-Order Dana 44 Axle Assemblies
G2 complete axle assemblies are designed to make upgrading easier, thanks to their direct bolt-in configuration. If you own a Jeep TJ or XJ and are looking for a little added beef to accommodate bigger tires, G2 has a solution. Assembled using quality components including OEM gearsets and heavy duty chromoly axles, the front assemblies come with new ball joints and use the existing outer steering knuckles and brakes from the Dana 30. The rear assemblies are designed to use the existing drum brakes, or can be ordered with the optional disc brake kit for better performance. These housings can be ordered with your choice of locker from ARB or Eaton. Info: G2 Axle & Gear, 877/852-7720, www.g2axle.com
Ram-proof Your Ram 1500
The new Boss bumper, for '09-and-later Ram 1500 trucks, features a standard grille/brushguard to protect the nose of the truck from tree branches or livestock and also has a fully-enclosed winch area with a removable-access door. This arrangement protects the winch from harmful UV damage while maintaining a clean exterior appearance. A pair of frenched light buckets allows you to mount any aftermarket 6-inch lamp, and a 2-inch receiver hitch will greatly simplify tasks such as parking trailers in limited-access storage spaces. All Buckstop bumpers retain use of the factory tow hooks, and a built-in license plate bracket ensures legality in all 50 states. Made in the U.S., the Boss bumper is said to be easy to install, with no welding or drilling required. Info: Buckstop Truckware, 800/431-6978, www.buckstop.biz
