Bigger Is Better
If you've ever taken your '01 to '07 GM truck off-road, you might have found out how easy it is to bend the factory tie-rod assembly. SuperSteer has designed a new heavy-duty tie-rod end that offers numerous improvements over the stock part. It's a full 1-inch forging (compared to the factory's 1/2 inch), it incorporates a 30mm ball (compared to the factory's 25mm ball), and it offers 37 degrees of stud swing (compared to the factory's 28 degrees).

Stealth Until It Matters
Do you think your '99 to '08 Ford Super Duty's third brake light is small and ugly? The new Stealth LED third brake light from Recon takes care of that. You can get the light in dark smoke, clear, or red. This LED light is up to 80 times brighter than the factory light and looks much better. The LEDs meet or exceed a 65,000-hour average life expectancy.

Spark It Up
Yes, we realize this is a spark plug, and not a glow plug. What, you didn't notice that 8-Lug covers gas-powered, heavy-duty pickups now, too? Well, we do. And if you drive one, you should think about using Autolite's Revolution HT spark plugs in it. At least if you drive a Ford with the Triton V-8 or V-10, that is. Autolite's Revolution HT spark plugs feature threads above the cylinder head seating, which provides more space to optimize the three-valve engine. The 10mm spark plug design maintains the same dielectric, mechanical, and durability characteristics as a conventional 14mm plug.
