Challenge Spec Doors
West Mids 4x4 has just launched its challenge spec doors, consisting of metal skins and box-section frames designed to make them very strong and robust. The company believes they are much stronger than Series doors that are commonly used and end up getting bent. The doors have been put through very rigorous testing on the Howlin' Wolf and have been a success, remaining undamaged after four rounds.
The benefits over a Series door include:
- Improved strength
- Better visibility due to lower positioning
- No more bruised elbows!
Price: £160 per pair, plus VAT and carriage

40-degree propshaft
Tomcat Motorsport has announced the launch of its 40-degree Super Extreme Propshaft. These propshafts are designed to be the next step in extreme propshafts which allow a greater angle of deflection for full suspension travel. With vehicles being lifted higher and suspension travel increasing, Tomcat has brought out these new propshafts in order to reduce the need for joint binding.
The shafts use a long travel slip joint with Rilsan coating and shrouded spline to prevent dirt ingress, and have double grease points fitted to the cap ends on both universal joints.
The Super Extreme Propshafts can be ordered in any length to suit your vehicle.

Vitara Bumpers
Off-Road Armory has recently started production on a new front winch bumper for the Suzuki Vitara SWB.
The heavy-duty Vitara bumpers are constructed from laser-profiled 6mm & 4mm plate throughout. They come as standard with a mighty 76mm bash bar, are hi-lift jackable, and also have two heavy duty recovery points, perfect for winch recovery while using a snatch block.
The winch mounting holes are laser-profiled, ready to accept any standard four bolt foot mounted winch up to 12000lb. The bumpers are also completely bolt on, and with the unique super duty mounting system, the company believes that you won't find a stronger mounting bolt on bumper anywhere else.

Anybody out there?
X-Eng has just launched a small range of CB radios tailored to off-road use, along with antennas which have proven themselves in hostile off-road environments. They provide good range and clarity but are mechanically very robust. There are also mountings to suit all 4x4s and even a mounting designed to attach to a roll cage or wheel carrier.
All of the items are kept in stock for next day delivery and are good value for money.
See the full details at www.x-eng.co.uk/X-CB.asp

Dyna Beads
Dyna Beads aim to dynamically balance tyres on the move, resulting in less vibration and a smoother ride that lasts the life of the tyre. Easy to install, Dyna Beads are tiny ceramic spheres, high in density and perfectly smooth, travelling inside the tyre to locate themselves opposite heavy points to eliminate out-of-balance motion.
Scorpion Racing promises that the product will increase tyre life, eliminate vibration, and will mean that you won’t need to add any weights to tyres. They are also 100% environmentally friendly and are reusable.
Priced from £4.10 plus VAT for 265 x 75 x 16 tyres, if you want to find out more, visit www.scorpionracing.co.uk or call 0208 211 4888.

Spot the difference
How would you go about applying a spot of paint or a drop of oil or grease not much bigger than a full stop? You’d find it very tricky with a normal paintbrush or with an oil can or grease gun. This is why Agriemach has launched its new ProTouch Microbrush.
ProTouch uses small non-absorbent non-linting fibres, which retain paint in suspension to create a non dripping sphere. This allows exact placement of as little as one eighth of a drop of paint on chips and scratches.
The Microbrush’s ribbed stem also permits it to be bent to any angle when working on those difficult-to-reach areas. It can also be useful for precision cleaning or working with adhesives.
Disposable and economical, ProTouch Microbrushes are display card packed in quantities of 25, priced at £8.69 including VAT and P&P.
