Bucket-Free has a super-concentrated formula that produces thick, foamy suds that lift deep-down dirt to the surface. Just spray it on a wet vehicle, agitate with a wash mitt or sponge, and rinse with your hose. And, because you don't recycle dirty water from a bucket onto the surface of the car, the result is a spotless, shiny finish. Information: Eagle One, 800/432-4531, www.eagleone.com
On the heels of releasing the Hushpower II muffler, Flowmaster now introduces Hushpower II, "The Resonator."

Detroit Locker's Truetrac limited-slip is now available for both Ford 7.5- and 8.8-inch axles. The Detroit Truetrac performs like an open differential under normal driving conditions and automatically transfers torque to the wheel with better traction when ground conditions call for it. Because of the proven helical-gear design, maintenance is not required as there are no clutches, cones, or friction plates to wear out, and no friction modifier to add.

BFGoodrich Tires is launching a limited-edition version of its highly popular Mud-Terrain T/A KM off-road tire. Introduced in an LT335/55R22 size, this tire was designed for consumers who are customizing their trucks and SUVs and want a rugged look on a larger wheel diameter. The design of the tire is based on the Krawler T/A KX, which has won more rockcrawling championships than all of its competition combined. If this new design is successful, this limited-edition tire could be the basis for the design of the next-generation Mud-Terrain T/A KM tire line including a full range of sizes.
