4x4 Van Conversion
U-Joint Clothing has developed a conversion kit that turns any '92-'07 4x2 Ford Econoline Van into a 4x4. The kit utilizes a donor axle from a '99-'04 Ford F-250/350 with front leaf springs from the '92-'97 F-350. Customers will have to source a transfer case and new driveshafts themselves, but the kit does include front spring hangers, shackles, sleeves for the frame, and all necessary mounting hardware.

Bash-Proof Hemi Mounts
Own a Hemi or Cummins-powered third-generation Dodge Ram pickup? These new billet motor mounts from RPM Offroad offer big improvements in strength over OE motor mounts. Each is machined from a solid chunk of billet steel to give your Ram zero torque flex under even the most extreme loads. This turns wasted power into a seat-of-the-pants difference you can feel. These mounts are Baja-proven by KORE's Stock Full race program and they're ideal for diesel drag racers and anyone who has experienced motor-mount failure. Info: 423/573-3300, www.rpmoffroad.com
LJ 30-Gallon Safari Gas Tank
This is the new Crawler Safari gas tank designed to fit all Jeep Unlimited LJs. The tank is specifically designed to utilize the extra space under the rear portion of an Unlimited to carry more fuel (10 gallons) in essentially the stock location. Each tank is manufactured from tough 1/8-inch-thick aluminum and is assembled into a foam-lined heavy-duty 3/16-inch-thick steel skidplate with straps and factory Mopar rollover valves. All Gen-Right tanks are 100-percent pressure-tested and designed to be an easy bolt-in upgrade. Info: 805/584-8635, www.genright.com
'07 Tundra UCAs
Total Chaos has developed the first stock-length replacement upper control arm system that is intended to replace the factory caster that's lost when any aftermarket 3-inch lift is installed. When you alter the factory caster, the vehicle will lose on-road handling and performance and has a tendency to wander. Installing a set of Total Chaos UCAs can replace up to 3 degrees of lost caster as well as increase wheel travel with some brands of aftermarket coilover shocks. This kit is designed to increase on- and off-pavement handling and overall performance without irreversible modifications to the vehicle. This system is 100-percent bolt-on and maintains all factory mounting locations. The kit replaces the factory ball joint with a 1-inch Uniball. Tubular 4130 chromoly upper control arms are greaseable and provide ABS line relocating brackets. The kit also includes 1-inch Teflon-lined Uniballs and stainless hi-misalignment spacers, hardware, urethane bushings, inner sleeves, end washers, and installation instructions.

Mega Cab Longbed, Anyone?
Here is the truck Chrysler should have built. Until now, those of us who need to haul large loads or pull a 5th wheel trailer could not even consider a Dodge Ram Mega Cab because they only come with a 6-foot bed. However, the folks at Innovative Customs of Lehi, Utah, developed a solution. They stretch the frame along with fuel and brake lines, electrical wiring, driveshaft, and e-brake cable to allow fitment of a new 8-foot bed. Innovative Customs can complete a stretch in just three business days, and the best part is it looks like the factory did it. We recently witnessed the conversion firsthand and can attest to the quality and craftsmanship found in the conversion. Innovative Customs can even perform the stretch for dealerships where you can finance your new Mega Cab longbed with a full warranty and the great customer service you'd expect from a Chrysler Five Star dealer. All frame modifications are certified by a state-licensed structural engineer, and each truck receives a detailed report highlighting the conversion process. We testdrove a few of these longer Megas and can say that despite their length, they are easier to maneuver than a Super Duty crew cab longbed. Info: 801/766-5249, www.innovativecustoms.net
