New 6" Rough Country Kits for Jeep JK

Just announced this morning, Rough Country has a brand-spakin' new 6" kit for you Jeep JK guys. Will a full bevy of control arms and bracketry, this looks to be a pretty complete kit.

We also like the bump stops they are using on their shocks here to defend against over-compression. Nice touch.

Note that at this time, the 2 door models will ship with 4" springs up front and 2" spacers, while the 4 door models (pictured) will get 6" springs. Both get 6" springs in the rear.

Rough Country is also partnering with Tom Wood for driveshafts for the kit so there are part #'s for easy ordering.

You can check out the kits here.

March of Dimes Ride

Because of my own experience with premature birth, I am a big supporter of the march of dimes. So, each year, when the Off Camber 4WD club, based in Georgia, has their fund raising event at Morris Mountain ORV Park, we are proud to participate.

This year's event was a great success, even given today's economic climate. 92 rigs were registered and nearly 700 raffle tickets were purchased, resulting in a $3200 donation. Well-done!

We were happy to donate a bunch of goodies for the raffle and everyone seemed to appreciate them. We also had a blast riding the trails, meeting new 'wheelers and watching the caos that ensued during the competition.

If you're in the area next summer, be sure to look up this event.

Swift Hitch - Magnetic Spotter Anyone?

OK so there's this gadget called the Swift Hitch. Very cool. Essentially, it's a magnetic camera that wirelessly sends it's color signal to a hand-held receiver. It's intention is to make hooking up a trailer by yourself simple. Just pop it on the tailgate and back up, drop the trailer on the ball and you're good to go.

But it occurred to me - wouldn't this make a great magnetic spotter? I mean, stick it on the front bumper and you can see what's ahead. Or stick it on the back - whatever.

I intend to try this out this weekend myself on the trails.

Anyway, they are in stock and we have a very substantial instant discount on them once you add them to the cart, so have a look!

New Rough Country TJ Kit

Interesting new kit for you TJ guys wanting to run 31's (or 32's with a body lift) from Rough Country. While most "budget boosts" are 2 inch (ok, really 1.75"), this kit is 2.5" and uses springs instead of spacers to achieve the lift. In addition, it uses jounce bumpers on the shocks to act as bump stops. The kit also uses different front springs, depending on the engine onboard. Nice.

Anyway, the kit's set at an intro price of $299.95 plus just a wee bit of shipping (they don't allow free shipping) and it's available now. This is a brand new kit on the market. My personal assumption is a rear trackbar bracket may be needed, though they don't mention it in their own materials.
