Flat Fender XJ
Bushwacker's SEMA-award-winning flat style flares for the Jeep Cherokee are made from an incredibly durable and flexible Dura-Flex(r) TPO 2000 material. They can bend without breaking and return to their original shape repeatedly and are 100 percent protected against UV degradation. Some trimming and drilling is required to mount them, but the flares provide 4 1/2 inches of tire coverage up front and 3 1/2 inches out back.

Toppa
We often bust on Cappa for not having any friends due to his proclivity towards removing the rear seat on two-door, short-wheelbase Wranglers. We are pretty sure that the guys from Avenger Superchargers teamed with Trailmaster Designs and designed this top for the JK with him in mind. Joking aside, its cool looks aren't all that it offers. It will be easier for the HVAC to maintain interior temperatures. It works with the factory removable Freedom Top panels and comes with a rear sliding window and bulkhead to seal off the passenger compartment.

Liberty Adjustment
No political BS here-just a high-quality adjustable lift system for the Jeep Liberty KJ. The Adjust-A-Strut provides 9 inches of travel and the 3.63-inch-diameter springs provide more A-arm clearance than other available kits. No spring compressor is needed to adjust the light height; a simple 9/16-inch box wrench, Allen wrench and spanner wrench are all that is needed.

The Shocker
This lightweight and compact train horn kit from Hornblasters is sure to get their attention. The black finish horns can be mounted in any orientation just about anywhere you want in the Jeep. The heart of the system is a 145psi Viair pump and air tank that makes these horns really scream. Everything you need to hook it up is included with the kit-from air fittings and air lines to wiring terminals and mounting hardware.

Gangle Age
If you are set on precision and are tired of waiting for gravity to tell your analog angle gauge what is what, the new Intercomp digital angle gauge will make you happy. It is a small 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 inch unit powered by a 9-volt battery and reads from 0- to 90-degrees in 0.05-degree increments. Zero can be set anywhere, thus allowing relative angle measurement. It can also measure absolute level and has a backlight for those late-night wrench sessions.
