Preparing for This Years SEMA Show

| October 23, 2009 | 0 Comments

With only 10 days before the SEMA Show I thought I would give you a preview of what is to come.

There are a few key shows that happen throughout the year, and we just attended two of them…the Sand Sports Super Show and the Off Road Expo.  But now we switch gears and go to an industry only Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association Show, commonly known as the SEMA Show.  This is the show where every part of the Automotive industry is represented.   The SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from over 100 countries covering the Automotive, Truck, SUV, Off Road, Powersports and RV markets.  There are over two million square feet of exhibits which is more than four buildings to cover.  Let me tell you…my feet hurt at the end of the week!

This show is not open to the public, but you will be able to see what is hot right here on UTVWeekly.com!

Lets start shopping now!  Here are just some of the new products that will be highlighted at this years show…

Its collapsed height adjusts from a easy-to-stow 12.5” up to 18.5”, and it has a 6” stroke. Multiple jack pad configurations allow the Kwik Jak to work on almost any vehicle. Another benefit of the jack is that it fits in a standard race car fire extinguisher mount for easy accessibility on tube frame vehicles. Kits are also available to adapt the jack to your on-board CO2 system or to use larger refillable CO2 canisters.

The “original power tool” of the off-road market is now available to meet the ever-increasing demands of the UTV market with this specialized Hi-Lift jack model. The Hi-Lift UTV jack is the perfect size for UTV operators (off-roaders, farmers, ranchers, search and rescue personnel, and the general outdoorsman), with 36” and 42” models, each weighing less than 30 lbs.

The Hi-Lift UTV jack is superior to the factory-supplied UTV jack in that it allows you to lift the UTV from many locations, instead of being limited to specific points under the vehicle. It offers greater capacity with a 7,000 pound tested and 4,660 pound rated load limit. Additionally, the Hi-Lift UTV jack outperforms the factory-supplied jack in that it is a true “multi-purpose tool” that provides the ability to lift, winch, pull, spread, and clamp. It can be used in all conditions… water, mud, sand and even snow.

The Hi-Lift UTV jack is available with a full-line of Hi-Lift jack accessories, that make it even more valuable and efficient for many applications. Now, with the recent development of the Adjustable Tube Mounts, the Hi-Lift® UTV jack can be mounted easily and securely to any round or square tubing locations on a UTV… front/rear bumpers, bull bars, roll cages and/or roof racks.

Royal Purple Oil Filters

Royal Purple Oil Filters

Royal Purple will introduce its new high-tech oil filters at the 2009 SEMA Show. Commercial fleets use advanced micro-glass oil filters to extend the life of heavy-duty trucks and equipment.

The high-tech oil filters use special synthetic glass microfibers about 10 times smaller than conventional cellulose filter fibers to provide superior filtration. High-performance lubricant manufacturer Royal Purple is now bringing this technology to the consumer market.

Royal Purple’s new high-performance oil filters combine advanced micro-glass technology and high capacity with optimized flow characteristics for maximum performance and filter life.

Each filter features 100% synthetic micro-glass media for superior particle removal with 99% filtration efficiency; a high-performance silicone anti-drain back valve that prevents dry starts even in extreme conditions; a heavy gauge steel back-plate for maximum burst strength; an extra heavy-duty nitrile-rubber base gasket with special lubricity compounds to reduce torque during installation and ensure a leak-free seal; and ultra-strength filter housing that provides extra protection against puncture from road debris.

Royal Purple oil filters allow change intervals to be extended up to 12,000 miles. Vehicles still under warranty should follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended filter change intervals.

While Royal Purple filters are fully compatible with all synthetic and conventional oils, Royal Purple recommends using its high-performance motor oil, which also has a 12,000-mile life. For more information, visit www.royalpurple.com.
