Coverking’s Tactical Seat Covers Bring the Versatility of M.O.L.L.E. Attachment Systems to any Vehicle
Anaheim, CA (April 18, 2012)—Off-roaders, hunters, fishermen, hikers, military, law enforcement or anyone looking for an outdoor adventure can now store the tools of their trade more efficiently for transport with Coverking’s new Tactical seat covers. Well-known for their custom car cover and vehicle accessory lines, Coverking has added a new twist by incorporating a military-style M.O.L.L.E. (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) attachment system on the backs of their ultra-tough Ballistic nylon custom front seat covers for maximum storage capacity and versatility. This method of storage takes advantage of previously wasted space in the vehicle’s interior, while providing organization and instant accessibility to items such as maps, binoculars, tools, first-aid kits, ammunition, tow straps, and more. Additionally, the modularity of the system allows the six included storage pouches to easily be transferred to a M.O.L.L.E.-compatible backpack or vest (not supplied) for hand-carrying into any situation or off-road terrain.

YUKON GEAR AND AXLE/BIGELOW MOTORSPORTS WIN ROUND 1 at Rausch Creek
Emmitsburg, MD – April 16 2012 – Doug Bigelow, the owner and driver of the #4413 Yukon Gear and Axle/Bigelow Motorsports Ultra 4 race vehicle, won the opening round of three, at the Rausch Creek Offroad Endurance race this past weekend. Battling a tough group of 25 seasoned Ultra 4 racers from the East Coast, Bigelow consistently put down lap times in the top 3 racers to take home the win. “This was a tough race to persevere through, at the end of lap one the race buggy started overheating bad and we lost the lower radiator fan. I thought for sure it was done at that point when I had a couple of racers pass us. The motor kept going into limp mode and out and fortunately we kept running it as hard as it would take it. I’ll say this; the little Chevy 5.3 will take a beating. It’s been overcooked, frozen and run upside down and somehow it is still going”, noted Bigelow of the race. (more…)
