SOLAR-POWERED KEYLESS ENTRY

A.R.E. has announced the availability of solar-powered keyless entry to its line of fiberglass tonneau covers including retrofit on older models.  The SolARay solar-powered, self-contained keyless entry system allows drivers to remotely lock and unlock A.R.E.'s LSX and LSII tonneau covers using solar energy, giving users quick access to their truck beds. SolARay works by mounting an aerodynamic solar panel measuring less than one-tenth of an inch above the tonneau cover's lock and attaching a sleek battery pack to the inside center of the cover. In addition to the keyless entry function, the product also features six lift-activated LED lights that automatically turn on when the tonneau cover is opened. The LED lights are located on the front of the battery pack. A set of two key fobs are included with the purchase of SolARay. A.R.E. offers a one year warranty on the product.

TUNDRA AIR HELPER SPRINGS

Need to keep your 2007-2008 Toyota Tundra on a level keel when it’s carrying or towing a heavy load? Firestone Industrial Products Company, now offers Ride-Rite air helper spring kits for the new Toyota Tundra, both 2WD and 4WD. The Ride-Rite kit provides up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling capacity to safely and comfortably tow heavy loads by using air pressure to adjust Firestone's air helper springs, compensating for varying load capacities and road conditions.  Additional benefits of Ride-Rite systems include maintaining braking effectiveness, reducing tire wear, leveling off-center loads - individual inflation valves allow for separate side-to-side adjustment - and increasing vehicle stability.  (Note: Air springs do not increase the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle. Do not exceed the vehicle's recommended Gross Vehicle Weight Rating [GVWR]). Firestone's Tundra Ride-Rite kit includes everything needed for an easy installation that typically takes less than one hour and comes with a two-year limited warranty.

UNDER PRESSURE

According to the United States Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flat tires are the number one cause of breakdowns on the roads today. But typical tire sealants don’t work well with today’s Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) until now. PressurePro TPMS works together with Ride-On tire sealant to dramatically reduce the damage and hassle caused by unexpected air loss in tires. Ride-On can seal 85% to 95% of punctures from objects up to ¼” diameter that penetrate the crown area of the tire. “Working together, PressurePro and Ride-On provide a very cost effective and thorough way for everyone, from companies with large fleets to individual car owners, to add safety, savings and peace-of-mind to their travels, while also helping cut on road and tire waste by adding tread life to tires” says Phillip G. Zaroor, President of Advantage PressurePro. Ride-Onâ Tire Protection System is the sealant recommended for use with PressurePro TPMS. Many sealants available on the market separate and fall apart over time, or do not adhere to the tire’s surface. These sealants can end up coating wheels, plugging valve stems, and interfering with tire pressure monitoring devices. Ride-On is the only tire sealant that is proven to work in conjunction with PressurePro, and together, provide the utmost in safety and security for your vehicle’s tires.  For additional information visit http://www.ride-on.com and www.advantagepressurepro.com.

TUNDRA HIND SIGHT

Tundra owners know how big the blind spot is to the rear especially if the truck has a bed shell. Rostra Precision Controls Inc. now offers its RearSight(r) back-up camera system for the 2007-2008 Toyota Tundra. The system features a specially designed camera that mounts directly to the truck's tailgate latch in the same manner as the optional factory camera.  It even utilizes the factory harness and connectors.  The Rostra RearSight system features a shrouded CCD camera, an Electronic Auto Iris, an anti-fog lens and a waterproof case.  

In addition to the camera, the RearSight kit comes with a 3.5-inch TFT rearview mirror/monitor, which replaces the OEM mirror and also utilizes the Tundra's factory pre-wiring. The screen has three video inputs and brightness adjustment, and the mirror features an anti-glare tint. "Our Tundra RearSight is especially useful for work truck and fleet owners because it can help those drivers better navigate construction sites or avoid backover accidents when hauling large objects in the truck bed," said Sibyl Ringsdorf, manager of marketing and national accounts, Rostra Precision Controls Inc.  "Drivers using this kit will be able to see behind their trucks and better protect their vehicles while ensuring the safety of others."

HOT AVALANCHE EXHAUST

From its SUV comfort and ingenious mid-gate, to its flex-fuel-capable and cylinder deactivation technology-equipped engine, the 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche delivers a unique combination of cargo and passenger options.  Now, Avalanche owners can further enhance their driving experience with the addition of a high performance exhaust system from CORSA(r) Performance Exhausts. The CORSA Performance Chevrolet Avalanche system provides a quiet, pleasing exhaust tone at cruise, while delivering an exhilarating, powerful sound under throttle - exactly when and where it is appropriate. CORSA engineers dynamically tuned the Avalanche system utilizing the company's patented Reflective Sound Cancellation(tm) (RSC(tm)) technology.  RSC passively eliminates annoying cabin resonance and unwanted drone without disrupting exhaust flow.  The result is straight-through, non-restrictive exhaust flow with sound that is bold when you want it to be and quiet when it needs to be. And the new CORSA exhaust maintains its ability to provide just the right "note," even as the Avalanche's Vortec 5.3L V8 engine with Active Fuel Management(tm) technology seamlessly switches between eight- and four-cylinder modes.
