Our 12v LED rechargeable cigarette lighter size flashlight was features in the 2008 Winter Edition of Overland Journal. See the image below or pdf version here: Overland Journal Winter 2008
Always there when you need it, is the thought that comes my mind. Convenience at its best. Where ever you have a 12 volt power source, you’ll have a flashlight. Under 2" in length. Blue light shows charge status. Twist on/off. Very high quality, we have been using and selling this brand for many years and are very pleased with how well the flashlights are made. Stainless steel. Just what you would expect. Map reading, menu reading, emergency use.

 This Jeep has been in numerous magazines for tech articles. Jay Miller is the shop foreman for TAG Motorsports in Escondido, Ca. Jay was also a District Manager for 4 wheel Parts in So. Cal. For those of you that wheel in So. Cal. you may already know Jay and his wife Ricki. They belongs to the SD 4 Wheelers and can be found in the in the desert or mountain’s.
This Jeep has been on the Rubicon and almost everywhere else that has a ledge, bump, boulder, waterfall, sand, and anything else considered to be dirt.
Jay‘s one of the few guys that I personally know, whom I can whole heartily recommend and trust to work on something that I don’t know how to do. That’s speaks volumes since I’ve seen and been exposed to the automotive aftermarket industry for so many years.

ORTT OFFICIAL SPOTTER’S HAND
You’ll really appreciate this " Professional use only " Spotters hand. Also know as the " hand signal amplifier" by John @ Hunter Off Road.
How many times have seen heard and seen a dozen people shouting at the driver, go right, go left, no my right, no your right, etc, etc. Aka the gang of spotters.
This will end all confusion as which way to go. Simply insert your hand into the foam hand and point in the direction that you want the driver to follow. Done in a bright Red so that it shows up really well against any back drop. Printed on both sides. Sold as each. Never needs batteries but could use food / beverages every so often.
This tool is like any other professional tool and should be used with caution !!! It still make takes years of practice to master, however that’s the fun thing about it. Get them while we have stock now, as they are sure to sell out right away. It might make someone a better driver. Buy 2 and save. “ Always, always if in any doubt us a spotter to see you through tricky obstacles. That’s just the one spotter, not a gaggle of people all shouting at once; and always use big upscale, unambiguous signs, not voice, anyway. If you’re not used to spotting, run through the signs before you begin. Especially the all important STOP sign.” Tom Sheppard, Desert Driving 101: Spotting.

Stretched wheelbase to 110". Custom cage. No straight sheet metal left…
Does it work the way you want?
Overall, yes, the rig will go anywhere I’d point it…
Anything you would like to change?
I’ll be rebuilding the cage this summer hopefully, and I’d like to find a Dana 60 front axle. Also, I’d like to regear to 5.13’s in the near future and install an NP231 crawl box to give me a final crawl ratio of 225:1 in low range.
Funniest wheeling incident:
On a recent trip through the gap, a good friend of mine has never been able to make an obstacle called the step. I’ve made it before easily, so this time, I decided to do it in reverse. Not only did I do it once, I did it twice…my friend will never live that one down…Seen at the end of Video below.
Or….Laying it on its side 6 times in a row on the same obstacle and driving out of all of them…
     
 We have the solution for you! The ORTT Electric Fan &/or Oil Cooler mounting bracket!
Is it Arizona hot or Louisiana humid where you wheel? Or do you just get into a situation where you had to work your engine and or tranny a little more than you thought you were going have to. Lets face we all do. That’s part of the fun/ learning process.
Maybe it feels like your in Anza / Borrego during August and you just want your Air Conditioning to work a little better.
The ultimate in reliability can be yours. It has been proven that lower temps = longer life for transmission and engine.
We’ve created an awesome and rugged bracket to mount an Oil or Transmission cooler and or an Electric fan. We mounted a Transmission cooler and a Push fan on ours. You drill the mounting holes to fit your needs. Our bracket sports:
- Cold rolled 10 Gauge steel
- They are laser cut
- Black powder coated ensure years of hard core trail use
- Bolts behind the grille shell and in front of the condenser
- Very easy to install
- No need to undo the A/C lines, Radiator hoses. Made in U.S.A
