New off-road product LiftTrax taking the 4×4 world by storm

LiftTrax, a new off-road recovery device is making waves in the world of off-roading as it brings an entirely different approach to 4×4 recovery and mobility.

Vastly different to previous products, LiftTrax is literally an air mat that you can drive onto to navigate obstacles. It’s flexible outer shell is also covered in rubber grips which give traction in sand, mud or rocks. Surprisingly, it has no heavy metal parts or long obtrusive plastic boards and yet can support massive weight. This ingenious device rolls out of a small carrying bag and inflates to become mobile traction. It’s flexibility also makes it multifunctional, doing the job of several other bulky devices in one. LiftTrax mould themselves to the shape or texture of the different terrain or obstacle you need to overcome. Read More→

FAST-Aid Relief Fund Surpasses $130,000 for MDR California 200 Accident

LINK: http://www.fast-aid.org

MESA, AZ – SEPTEMBER 6, 2010:  August 14, 2010 changed the lives of many in the off road community.  Some lost loved ones, some suffered injuries, and some remember a scene that will be hard to forget after the California 200 Accident.  On the same day, the off road community rallied together to support everyone involved.  Over 15 days later, there is no sign of this solid family throttling back.

Fundraisers to help the California 200 Accident have been held in multiple states with celebrities and racers making appearances and speaking out in support of FAST-Aid and their efforts to help the community members.  FAST-Aid has already assisted with several funeral expenses and have been available for any of the families needs. “Our family did not have extra money to pay for funeral costs. We don’t even know what we would do if it wasn’t for your help,” wrote a family member of the deceased in a note to FAST-Aid.  Doctor bills from the injured are next on the priority list to allocate, and then there will be funds for the children of the deceased and emotional support for anyone suffering from Post Traumatic Syndrome.  “I am sure I will need help with the medi-flight, there seems like there were at least 10 choppers there,” said one of the most severely injured at a recent fundraiser where he attended to show his reciprocal support.

By woody · Comments (0)
Friday, September 3rd, 2010

ARB 4×4 accessories is happy to announce a completely new design Land Rover Defender winch bumper that offers a more modern style but still retains traditional ARB strength and function . Although similar in appearance to a Sahara bar, the winch bumper features no option for fog lights or the alloy center tube.

Unlike ‘traditional’ Land Rover bars, the new bar incorporates recessed Hi-Lift jacking points and integrated tow points along with upswept stepped wings, giving a more aggressive look. Due to variations that are found in individual vehicles, the mounting system has been redesigned to enable the fitter to position the bar in the best possible position before final assembly.
