  • Labor Day Weekend VORRA Hawthorne 225 Desert Race

    Parade through Downtown, Dezert People 8 Movie Premier

    RENO,NV    AUGUST 31, 2010: The VORRA Hawthorne 225 desert race Labor Day Weekend will include a parade through downtown Hawthorne and the movie premier of Dezert People 8 at the El Capitan Lodge and Casino on Saturday September 4th.  The race will start Sunday morning at 8am.  The Hawthorne 225 is the fourth desert race in the 2010, eight race VORRA series that includes an additional four short course races.

    “The Hawthorne 225 track has some gnarly sections with a couple of rough spots on the north end and some very deep silt beds.  The roller coaster section is free of wash outs this year on the backside and is going to be a blast,” said Wes Harbor, VORRA Director.  The course is a 55-mile loop that drivers must complete 4 times to finish within the allotted time frame.

  • Rock Assault™ 3.0L V6 Power Steering Pump Kit

    We all know that the stock pump on a 3.0 is just not enough to turn big tires or run a ram assist and when you try and drill out the inlet to get more volume the result is a loud pump followed by pump failure. A new Toyota stock pump puts out around 1,300 PSI at only one gallon per minute. Our Rock Assault™ Pumps put out 1,450 and 1,650 PSI at 4-4.5 GPM, which is more than enough volume to provide you with the steering power that you will need to turn big tires or run a ram assist or full hydraulic steering system.

    Trail-Gear has handpicked each component in this kit to ensure quality, ease of installation, and durability. This kit ships complete with all parts included and full color installation instructions.

    Application Notes: This pump and bracket is designed to fit all Toyota V6 3.0 Pickups and 4Runners from 1989-1995. This kit does not work with 3.0 Tacoma’s. This kit will not work on 4Runners with a functioning AC, because the AC cooling fan must be removed for the placement of the PS Pump cooler.
