Truck Parts And Accessories - New Products - September 2006

Bar None
The Sleekster Light Bar from Randy Ellis Design fits '04-'07 Ford F-150s and mounts directly to the frame, holding four lights up to 9 inches in diameter. Each bar is made from 1-3/4-inch, .120-wall steel tube with CNC-laser-cut brackets and light tabs and is finished with a three-stage candy chrome powdercoat. No drilling, cutting, or welding is necessary, since they use factory mounting locations and are compatible with factory tow hooks.

Powerful Portable
Pioneer's AVIC-S1 portable navigation unit is barely bigger than the palm of your hand but features a 3.5-inch touch panel display, 2-gigabyte flash memory for map storage, SiRF Star III GPS receiver, Bluetooth support, and built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery. The AVIC-S1 comes preloaded with NAVTEQ map data, a comprehensive database of the U.S. and Canada, and 1.5 million of the most popular points of interest. (That includes restaurants, gas stations, and ATMs.) The AVIC-S1 will be available in June 2006 at a retail price of $599 and comes complete with a mounting kit, cigarette lighter adapter, carrying case, home charger, and PC mini-USB cable.

Hydraulic Hemi
From nostalgic Fire Dome Hemi's to huge big-blocks, Chrysler engines have always been a favorite with hot rodders, and Comp Cams doesn't want to leave those engines out in the cold. Comp Cams has developed a new line of camshafts to introduce the newest valve-train technology to three popular Chrysler engine platforms: big-block, small-block, and Hemi. The new Xtreme Energy Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller Camshafts utilize modern "fast ramp" hydraulic roller lobe technology to dramatically increase the horsepower and drivability of these classic Chrysler engines without sacrificing durability. For more information, call (800) 999-0853 or visit www.compcams.com.
