January 2008 New 4x4 Products

What's New

By Robin Stover

Toyota FJ, 4Runner T-Case Options

 January 2008 4X4 Products Transfer Case

Check out the newest creation from Inchworm. Nicknamed "Lefty," this setup is the only one currently available as a direct bolt-in, low-geared, single transfer case. It fits all late-model Toyota Tacomas, FJ Cruisers, and 4Runners. Lefty is a complete geardriven transfer case that replaces the stock chaindriven unit and comes built with your choice of 4:1, 4.7:1, 5:1 or 5.71:1 gearsets. The beauty of the Lefty is that it bolts up in a few hours with no driveline, floor, or crossmember modifications. It also provides additional ground clearance by clocking the transfer case to keep it tucked away from the rocks. Lefty is also compatible with Inchworm's dual transfer-case setup and is available with other options including heavy-duty output shafts, your choice of driveshaft flanges, twin sticks, and an electric- or cable-driven speedometer. Info: 530/677-8111, www.inchwormgear.com

Fabtech Does Rhino Kits

 January 2008 4X4 Products Rhino Suspension

We've been waiting for this. If you own an '05-'07 Yamaha Rhino, you're in luck. Fabtech has a sweet new long-travel suspension system designed for improved performance and durability. The kit features 4130 chromoly tubing, Delrin bushings, and Teflon-lined rod ends. Optional replacement 4340 heat-treated axleshafts are available for aggressive drivers. With this kit, you get a wider track width and 3 inches of added height. Combine that with Fabtech's Dirt Logic 2.0 reservoir coilover shocks, and you end up with 13 inches of usable wheel travel. This could be the perfect system for aggressive high-speed desert driving. Info: www.fabtechrhino.com

JK Bumper

Fab Fours has this beefy Jeep bumper which enhances the visual impact of the popular JK, while remaining lightweight and functional. Included are two 3/4-inch D-ring mounting points. It's available with or without a grilleguard, and each comes winch-ready. Plus you get the option of a textured two-stage black powdercoat finish or bare metal for custom paint applications.

Super Duty Lift Kit Options

BDS recently introduced four new 6-inch lift kits for '08 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD pickups. The kits come with either rear blocks or rear leaf springs, and the front features radius-arm drop brackets to put the stock radius arm back at factory angle, maintaining your stock driving characteristics. The kits also are available with a new steering stabilizer, antisway bar drop brackets, a dropped pitman arm, a track-bar relocation bracket, and bumpstop extensions. There is also a new four-link system that allows 10 inches of wheel travel. Don't worry, no welding is said to be required. Info: 517/279-2375, www.bds-suspension.com
