Total Chaos now offers a bolt-on upper control arm for '05-and-up Nissan Xterras, Pathfinders, and Frontiers. The system eliminates the factory ball joint and upgrades it to a 1-inch Teflon-lined uniball. This product will prevent the factory upper arms from contacting the coil bucket during the droop cycle. Additionally, these arms incorporate a tab designed to bolt on a urethane droop stop, which contacts the coil bucket during extreme droop travel. These arms will also add caster, which will aid in vehicle cornering and overall handling on and off the pavement. They also assist in correcting alignment when aftermarket lifts are installed. Manufactured from 4130 chromoly tubing, these arms are way stronger than the factory units. They come powdercoated silver with an additional clear powdercoat to retain a long-lasting finish. The system is 100 percent bolt-on and requires no drilling or welding for installation. The kit comes complete with 1-inch uniballs, high-misalignment spacers, urethane bushings, inner sleeves, bumpstop pads, and Grade 8 hardware. Information: 951/737-9682, www.chaosfab.com.

Superchips now offers propane injection for diesel pickups. We like this kit because it features a closed-loop ECM that constantly monitors the engine parameters, such as propane vapor temperature, overboost, and of course, rpm before any propane is allowed to be added to the engine. If the engine management parameters are not met, no propane is used. Or, if you simply do not want to use the system at certain points, it can be disabled with the flip of a switch. This system also has the capabilities to data-log a number of engine parameters. When propane is injected into a turbocharged diesel engine, there is a significant increase in power and torque.
