Thumbs up New Build Plan: HPS Performance Products



Today we are happy to announce our new build partner HPS Performance Products! For our builds we'll both be running the HPS High Temp 3-ply Reinforced Silicone Radiator Hose Kit and JK Thang will be running the new HPS Cool Ram Air Intake Kit as well.

As you know our Wrangler JK's tend to run pretty hot so having the High Temp 3-ply Reinforced Silicone Radiator Hose Kit will help to keep the temperatures down and well they just look pretty sweet! One thing we realized with this build is having a Genesis Dual Battery, PSC Reservoir and air intake and in the same relative space was a chore so while at the Pomona Off Road Expo I had the chance to talk to good people over at HPS Performance Products and found out that they had recently come out with an intake for our Wrangler JK's. So after a little more discussion and I was convinced to give it a try. More performance feedback down road.


Background from HPS Performance website
RADAITOR
Jeep 07-11 Wrangler JK & Unlimted 3.8L V6 HPS High Temp 3-ply Reinforced Silicone Radiator Hose Kit Black is designed to replace stock OEM rubber hoses which can eventually weaken over time, leading to premature failure. With premium quality silicone and race inspired design, this HPS silicon radiator hose kit can withstand the harsh high temperature and high pressure operating conditions of the engine yet still maintaining peak efficiency during competition or daily driving. HPS silicone radiator hose kit has all the correct bends and curves for a perfect fit replacement for your OEM rubber coolant hoses. Temperature Range:- 65 deg. F to + 350 deg. F (177 deg. C). 100% Stainless

Steel Clamps are included for easy installation. Silicone hose is NOT compatible with fuel or oil.
This product fits Jeep 2007-2011 Wrangler JK & Unlimted 3.8L V6

INTAKE
Built for performance and show, the HPS Cool Ram Air Intake Kit with Powder Coated Red finish for 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L V6 offers a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to deliver performance gains while maintaining safe air fuel ratio. HPS Short Ram Air Intake has been tested on a rear-wheel dynamometer and shown increase in horsepower and torque. Compare to the cold air intake, HPS Short Ram Air Intake is a convenient way to change your intake in case of rainy days where water might be inducted into your cold air system.

They come with an K&N High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).

HPS Shortram Air Intake Key Features
- Designed for increased performance for your Jeep, utilizing the finest quality components
- Improves horsepower and increased acceleration
- Mandrel-bent aluminum tube piping for optimal air flow
- Includes K&N High-Flow, Washable/Reusable Air Filter which is backed by Million Mile Limited Warranty
- Bolt-on easy installation
Product Specifications
- Color: Powder Coated Red
- CARB Exempt: No
- System Type: Shortram air intake system
- Vehicle Application: Jeep 07-11 Wrangler 3.8L V6

For JK Thang space in the engine bay is at a premium so the HPS intake system really did we'll to allow us to run our Genesis Dual Battery, PSC Resevior and air intake all play nicely together.

Kit comes complete with a small list of components and easy step through instructions.


A custom bracket to all the intake to work with the Sprintex and we're ready for a test spin!

How much is the SEMA Build costing? Only reason I ask is I like the products you all are using and would like to start saving for my build.

Thanks
If your travels where in support of this great nation thanks for your service!

Too many differences between the two builds but that's a good ball park figure to begin with.

That's a resevior for the PSC Hydraulic Steering Assist. Works good too.

Thumbs up New Build Partner: Dynomax Performance Exhaust



Today we are happy to announce our new build partner Dynomax Performance Exhaust! For our builds we'll both be running the Dynomax® #39459 Stainless Steel Single Exit High Clearance Exhaust Systems. This system is a good high clearance system that not only looks great for our SEMA Show build but will take the abuse we plan to deliver with rock crawling.


Background from Dynomax Performance Exhaust website
39459
Single - 2.5" Cat-Back System - Ultra Flo™ Polished Muffler “THE ORIGINAL” STAINLESS STEEL “ROCKCRAWLER” CAT-BACK SYSTEM
DynoMax® was first to market back in 2007 when the JK Wrangler hit the dirt with a true, hard-core based system built and engineered for those Jeep owners that were interested in a system that would give them great performance as well as clearance. While imitated and impersonated by our competitors, this original design from DynoMax has been tried, true, and trail tested by the best of them.

Engineered strictly for your Wranglers performance in engine efficiency and ground clearance. DynoMax® Ultra Flo™ SS Polished performance mufflers are constructed of stainless steel for lifelong durability and completely polished for show-quality shine. The unrestricted, straight-through design is dyno proven to flow up to 2,000 SCFM and support up to 1,900 horsepower. Each muffler uses our exclusive Continuous Roving Fiberglass (CRF) Technology to absorb unwanted interior resonance while maintaining a deep performance tone. The 'Pure Unadulterated POWER' of DynoMax® Ultra Flo™ SS Polished mufflers are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive 90-Day Performance & Sound Guarantee™.

All Dynomax® Performance Exhaust Systems bolt on for easy installation. Your vehicle's complete exhaust can be quickly and easily customized with an emissions-legal premium performance system from Dynomax®.

Hey Frank, I run two of these Dynomax mufflers on Beast (dual-exhaust) and I've been very happy with them. The sound is also great; especially when you add a 6.1 Hemi.

Default New Build Partner: Primo Customs

We're extremely fortunate to have Primo Customs on board as our SEMA build paint partner. Between our Rugged Ridge vented hoods and half doors, JK Thang's extensive body armor, and a couple of Nemesis fenders in need of some TLC, we're really fortunate to have Rick Primeau, automotive painter and airbrush artist extraordinaire, take care of all of our painting needs.

Lots of parts headed to Primo Customs for paint. The half doors were getting some love, too, so we'd be driving home doorless:


Some of JK Thang's previously powdercoated armor got shiny, too:


Can't forget the little pieces:


Rick Primeau, working his magic:


JK Thang, sporting newly painted hood, doors, armor, and fenders:


El Pig with his new, shiny hood and doors:



Here's an interesting find. Check out Rick's involvement in an episode of Overhaulin'. Overhaulin' [02x04] The Monte Fuego - 70 Monte Car by speedup - Car Videos on StreetFire

Thumbs up New Build Partner: Red Peak OffRoad



Today we are happy to announce a new build partnership with Red Peak Off Road!

Both our rigs will be equiped with Red Peak Off Road RubiCAM's Rock Crawling camera to help spot us over obstacles both on and off road. Speaking from experience, carrying a large spare can imped your vision and lead to an accident (or in my case x2 ) while backing up so I'm pretty excited to be running the RubiCAM!

For those of you who like to capture your memories on video the RubiCAM DVR offers the ability to record your moments good and bad. And the great thing is you can start out with the non DVR system and easily upgrade to the DVR unit without having to redo everything. Simply add the DVR to the existing system and you're ready to go. We are hoping to show installation for the kit as well as some real life experiences further down the road.


Background from Red Peak Off Road's website
Red Peak Off Road is dedicated to providing the off road community with innovative products and excellent customer service. We pride ourselves on selling quality parts that have been trail tested and proven in real world environments such as the world famous Rubicon Trail and Moab, Utah. We understand the off road community and strive to serve our customers with the best, most unique parts as well as friendly, helpful service.

Happy trails,
Brennan Riddle, President.

Nice write up from FourWheeler Magazine
RubiCam From Red Peak Off Road - Photo 69047669 - 2014 Easter Jeep Safari - Moab Merchandise

More than just a backup camera system the RubiCAM is a spotter and allows you to video your adventure saving those precious moments to share with friends!


The RubiCAM system is a complete system easy to install



Obviously a huge seller for me is the rear camera to help prevent me from adding to my street kill list!

The display is large so that you can see up to four cameras all at the same time!
