Slow That Big Ship
Pickups and SUVs can now enjoy shorter stopping distances, eliminate fade, and have greater wear resistance thanks to The Brake Man's Super Brake kit. Using OEM-style rotors treated with The Brake Man's proprietary thermal process, and brake pads with an exclusive blend of friction materials, The Super Brake Kit results in performance that rivals aftermarket "big" brake systems at a fraction of the cost. During tests, the kit reduced stopping distance by 30 feet during a 40-mph panic stop. That's the difference between just getting scared and calling your insurance company.

Second Skin
Wearing gloves when working on your ride not only keeps dirt from clogging your fingernails, but it will also keep all your skin intact. The new M-Pact Glove from Mechanix Wear has been redesigned with an anatomically engineered direct sonic-welded rubber top and EVA foam palm pads for improved protection. The glove also features tapered finger stretch side panels, wrap-around rubber-molded wrist closure, molded rubber exoskeleton, and rubberized panels on thumb and fingertip for extra control. The M-Pact will absorb the punishment so your hands don't.

Right Turn, Clyde
The TurnSmart Mirror System uses super-bright LEDs that blink in conjunction with your truck's turn signals, alerting drivers in the blind spots around your truck. The system consists of left and right wide-angle side mirrors that are wireless and solar-powered, and an RF transmitter, which operates the LEDs. For fast and easy installation, the transmitter attaches to the turn signal wires or a trailer wire harness.
