General Mechanics Tool Kit
Or GMTK for short. While all of us have hand tools already, we have yet to see a tool box that can keep our tools in the same place we left them. Short of jamming them all into an ammo can, there really isn't any dust or water proof solution. Well, the case that Pelican provide for the GMTK keeps tools in place even if it gets turned upside down, in addition to keeping out water and dust and being able to withstand hard impacts and temperature extremes. Sounds like the tool box we need for trail runs. Information: Pelican Products, Inc, 310/326-4700, pelican.com
Rope Rollers
If you finally decide to take the step to a synthetic rather than steel winch rope, but the cost of a billet hawse fairlead has you bummed, check out these durable polyurethane rollers to convert your existing roller fairlead to be synthetic rope compatible. Polyurethane provides a smooth surface for the rope, won't chafe, and is hard enough that it also won't groove or gall even with hard side pulls. Plus, in many cases, the replacement of the rollers is way easier than replacing the whole fairlead. Information: Daystar Products International, 800/595-7659, daystarweb.com

This information can be used to fine tune the vehicle for the best performance and mileage. Information: JET Performance, 800/535-1161, jetchip.com
