TJ Dash Storage
Daystar Products released a dash panel that converts the all-but-useless coin tray (just above the radio on the factory dash) into useable space. We like that it matches the contours of the factory dash for a precise fit. Its texture also matches that of the factory center bezel, so it blends in with the rest of the dash and looks just like a factory piece. It features a main tray that is suitable for mounting a GPS unit, or it can be used as convenient storage for cell phones, sunglasses, MP3 players, and other small items.

A heavy-duty front skidplate and differential skidplate are also included for added protection. The included knuckles are designed to minimize track width change. Rear lift options include a block or a full new rear leaf spring. Info: 517/279-2135, www.bds-suspension.com

Summit Machine Flex Joints
The Summit Machine Flex Joint is a rebuildable spherical joint that achieves value without compromising quality. The joints are available in multiple sizes and feature a range of motion up to 35 degrees. To facilitate welding, the steel housing is not plated. The ultra-smooth nickel-plated pivot ball moves on Nylatron GS races (a proprietary nylon mixture for bearing applications). The very low-friction movement means less wear and longer life. If you manage to wear them out, Summit Machine also offers rebuild kits. Info: 801/576-8424, www.summitmachine.com

The system comes in three models for use with Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 14,000 pounds and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Info: 800/495-5858, www.huskytow.com
