  • WILL GLOBAL WARMING TRUMP MULTIPLE USE?

    The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is beginning the process of revising their regulations that govern how the agency prepares Forest Plans. Known as the “Planning Rule,” these regulations will be the driving force behind how the agency develops, amends and revises their Land Use Plans.

    This is a big deal.

  • JK Specific Tray Table #5048

    If you own either a 2dr JK or 4dr JK Unlimited or a Rubicon, then this should be your first investment. I can’t think of an item that will be bolted on to your Jeep that will get used more than this fold out table. Whether you’re on a day trip and just want to fix lunch, or maybe taking that well deserved extended camping trip, you’ll need to be ready. You’ll find many uses for this well built and convenient item.

    Some ideas that come to mind are listed below.

    Setting up your cook stove, or preparing that next delicious meal. How about a place a safe to set the lantern when setting up camp at night. May be a place to set up the lap-top and down load those photos or check the next trail out.  Tackle box or shooting gear, why not. Need a place for that blender for those tailgate parties? Are you going to be doing some small repair jobs or maintenance?

    This will solve that age old question of where to place things when you’re out enjoying out the great outdoors.

    Dirt and mud are for wheeling to and over, not for meals, drinks, or sensitive equipment. Stop bending over. Stop working on the ground. It’s easy to start enjoying the many benefits of an easy to use O.R.T.T. fold out tray table.  Give it a try and see for yourself.

  • Kevin Yoder Appears on Powerblock TV with Courtney Hansen

    GRASS VALLEY, CA     FEBRUARY 4, 2010   Kevin Yoder talks with Courtney Hansen on Powerblock TV this weekend.  Set your TiVo for Saturday February 13, 2010 and Sunday February 14, 2010 from 11am to 1pm, check your local listing to confirm timing.

    Powerblock TV consists of four half hour shows, Xtreme4x4, Trucks!, MuscleCar and Horsepower.  In between the different shows Courtney will ask Kevin different questions about his racing career, current race plans and goals for 2010.  It is also the premier of his Fast Red paint job!  Look at the car shine in the studio!

    “It was a great experience getting to go and film with the Powerblock TV group.  It was fun to see all of the different show sets and the hosts working on the projects getting dirty, then changing their shirt and shooting a segment,” said Yoder.   “The whole Powerblock opportunity could not have happened without Pit Bull Tires and Mike Green himself who has been a huge supporter of my racing.”

    The show will air one day after Yoder takes the green flag for the 2010 Griffin King of the Hammers.  On the January episode of Pirate4x4 TV Live! Yoder was named as Dave Cole, King of the Hammers Promoter and Charlene’s, Pirate4x4 TV Live! co-host picks for winning.  Jeff Knoll, King of the Hammers Promoter has called him a rock sports Icon, and Lance Clifford of Pirate4x4.com calls him a Rock Crawling Legend.  We have all watched him race, now to see him on National Television talking about his experiences.

    Pit Bull Tires has supported Yoders racing efforts for the last two seasons.  The tires have performed flawlessly, and Yoder absolutely agrees that the Pit Bull Tires had a lot to do with his ability to win the different disciplines of racing that he successfully competed in.

  • NEW COMPACT HEATER REVOLUTIONIZES OFF-ROADING

    Chilly and cold, winter days just got more comfortable for off-road enthusiasts. From Aqua-Hot Heating Systems, the leader in hydronic heating systems for the RV industry for over 25 years, comes the innovative Aqua-Hot 100 Off-Road Heater. Connecting to an engine’s cooling system, the compact unit quietly and efficiently heats cabs with a brushless, radial axial fan.

    It’s perfect for two-person UTV cabs, small utility tractor enclosures, supplemental rear heat in Jeeps and larger vehicles where battery power is limited. The economical Aqua-Hot 100 draws less than 0.5 amps, ensuring long hours of warmth without draining the battery. Delivering big heat from a small package, it weighs only 3.5 lbs. and measures just 5.5″ H x 5.5″ D x 9.5″ W. A tough, high-strength nylon 6/6 housing resists harsh elements and challenging environments.

    An adjustable mounting bracket rotates 180° for easy installation to the floor, firewall or under dash. Slotted mounting arms and a serrated clamp ensure a tight fit. An integrated, variable-speed switch reduces wiring and enables the fan to be set from 0 to 100 cfm.

    With a one-year warranty, the versatile Aqua-Hot 100 Off-Road Heater has a suggested retail price of just $189.99. For larger cabins

    where more battery power is available, the Aqua-Hot 200 provides a fan output of 0 to 200 cfm and draws just 2 amps. Convenient installation kits are also offered.
