  • 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.

  • ADVANCED REFUELING BIB PROTECTS BIKES, CARS AND ENVIRONMENT

    Annoying fuel burps or spills can harm paint, as well as cause pollution and dangerous situations, such as fires if gas drips on a hot engine.  Cleaning it up is another problem, since the insufficient, scratchy paper towels at the station hardly get the job done.  The patented Chadd Padd® provides the perfect solution by catching and containing any spills or overages that may occur at the pump.  The industry’s premier, disposable refueling bib protects motorcycle and car surfaces from hose and nozzle damage.  (more…)

  • Rough Country Announces 6” Chevy Lift That Prevents Axle-Wrap

    REVAMPED LIFT KIT NOW TO INCLUDE ANTI-WRAP REAR BLOCKS

    DYERSBURG, TENNESSEE— Rough Country Suspension ® Products announces an innovative addition to the popular 6” Chevy 1500 Suspension Lift Kit. Rough Country’s new pre-fabricated anti-wrap rear blocks are custom designed to prevent axle-wrap – a common issue where the axle rotates opposite of the wheel under torque causing potentially severe damage to the vehicle. With a trapezoidal shape and wider surface area, these anti-wrap rear blocks are significantly less susceptible to wrapping and offer far greater peace of mind when towing or off-roading. This Chevy Lift Kit also includes a heavy duty skid plate, laser cut cross members, torsion bar cross-member drop brackets, and lifted knuckles. A set of front and rear Nitro 9000 Shock absorbers are included; featuring self adjusting Velocity Sensitive Valving – a revolutionary technology that varies the resistance valving incorporated in the shock according to piston rod speed. The 6” Chevy 1500 Suspension Lift caters to ’99 – ’06 4wd models and retails for $999.95. A non-torsion bar version is also available starting at $1199.95.

  • Rock Recovery™ Winch Line

    Trail-Gear knows that when it is time for a recovery that the last thing you need is a broken winch line, so we made our Rock Recovery™ Winch Line  from 100% pure Dyneema Fiber (SK-75), which is the strongest and most UV resistant material in the world for synthetic winch lines. Our Rock Recovery™ Winch Lines come with a stainless steel thimble and are all pre-stretched, 12-strand braids. They also come with the first 5 feet covered with a black nylon sleeve to protect the line from rocks and trees.

    Synthetic winch line is about 45% stronger than conventional steel cable and weighs only a fraction of what steel cable weighs. In fact, synthetic winch line is so light it floats on water. When steel cable winch line fails, breaks, or comes off of the attachment point it recoils from stored energy, snaps back, and can be deadly. There is almost no snap back at all with synthetic winch line because it does not store energy like the steel cable, this is why steel cable winch line is no longer permitted at most off road competitions or races. Synthetic winch line is very flexible, but does not curl or kink and will never cut your fingers.
