Global Telematics, Inc., introduces its redesigned GeoTracer vehicle locator using state-of-the-art technologies. The satellite-based tracking system is weather tight, can be mounted anywhere under the hood or inside the vehicle, and only requires two wires to install without voiding any manufacturers' warranties. Within seconds of visiting the GeoTracer website your vehicle's location, direction, and speed can be accessed. Perimeter and speed alerts can also be sent to any phone, PDA, or e-mail to notify the user if the vehicle exceeds a set speed limit or goes somewhere the vehicle is not supposed to. Perfect for deterring truck or SUV theft, parents wanting to keep an eye on their children, or even fleet operators, the GeoTracer provides pinpoint information and peace of mind.

Rancho's newest lift for the '04-'06 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon 2WD and 4WD models, is an off-road-tested suspension that accepts up to 33-inch tires without cutting, welding, or exhaust modifications. Included in the kit is a low-profile, two-piece crossmember that enables installers to relocate the differential, easing installation and allowing for maximum ground clearance without relocating the torsion bar mounts. The kit also maintains the stock location of the factory rack-and-pinion steering unit to reduce bump steer. For more information, contact Rancho Suspension, Dept. TR, 6925 Atlantic Ave., Long Beach, CA, 90805. For the location of the nearest Rancho retailer, use the "dealer locator" feature at www.gorancho.com or call (734) 384-7805. Bar None

Each bar is made from 1-3/4-inch, .120-wall steel tube with CNC-laser-cut brackets and light tabs and is finished with a three-stage candy chrome powdercoat. No drilling, cutting, or welding is necessary, since they use factory mounting locations and are compatible with factory tow hooks.
