    Team FC4x4 Wraps Up 2015 Season with Show & Swap

    It was an incredible day of 4×4 showing and shining this past weekend in Farmington, New Mexico.  Hosted by the Cliffhangers 4WD Club, this year’s annual event was a success with many custom 4x4s, UTVs, and used parts available on display and for sale.  Temperatures in the mid-eighties and a cloudless sky made for a great day of fun.  Four Corners 4×4 was front and center with M.O.R.E. and Superchips who also helped to sponsor the event.

    We had the opportunity to take an awesome 2008 4-Door JK to the show.  We built this rig for a customer a couple years ago and it’s currently for sale.  The impressive build sheet includes a 430 HP Hemi Conversion, Atlas 4-Speed, Currie RockJock 60s, among many other bullet proof upgrades.

    There was also an RTI (Ramp Travel Index) competition, so Mariah decided to pull the JK up the ramp on its stock suspension.  Scoring just under 600 points, our 1” Body lift from M.O.R.E. make just enough room for the 34” BFGoodrich tires.

    With the end of the season here and fall on its way, we wanted to take a minute and thank everyone on our team by hosting an End of Season Party!  We would love to host you and a guest at our home and shop on Saturday, October 3rd starting at 4:00pm.  Please come out and join us as we share team stories from the last four years of competition and talk about our plans for 2016.

    Avon Lake (September 18, 2015)…Design Engineering, Inc.

With thermal protection from radiant or direct engine heat, injectors will perform more efficiently with a more consistent throttle response.

    The kit includes: 1 manifold heat shield, 1 fuel rail heat cover, 6 fuel injector covers and 12 fuel injector OE replacement O-rings. Both the heat shield and the fuel injector covers are made of high-temperature rated glass fiber material bonded to a heat reflective aluminized material.  The fuel injector heat covers can be used for either stock or aftermarket fuel injectors.  Easy to install, the injector covers feature a split design and sewn-in hook and loop fastening edge that takes only moments to install.
