Bestop Rebates

November seems to be the time of Rebates... Bestop is offering a $50 mail in rebate on any Replacement top purchased through the end of the year.

Bestop Replacement tops are made to fit on the factory hardware so all you are replacing is the parts that wear out. If, however, you don't have factory hardware these tops won't fit. You have two different material options and you can either get clear or tinted windows.The front door skins (if you need them) are made to fit over the factory frame.

The sail cloth material is a very heavy duty material that reduces noise and increases insulation in the vehicle. This is a multi layer top that lasts longer than the standard material!

These tops fit extremely well because Bestop has the factory contract for making all the OEM tops for Jeep, Tracker, Amigo and other SUV's.

Hurry in to take advantage of the Rebate Offer!

Warn Zeon Winch

Warn introduced a new line of winches called the Zeon winch a little over a year ago. As I'm slow to change from what I know, it took me awhile to figure out why this winch is better / different from the other line of winches. What can I say? I'm a self admitted slow learner.

 

Some of the new features of the Zeon line --

• Control Pack options -- This means that there is one winch, if you need to move the control pack, no big deal, if you like the look of the control pack on the top of the winch, no big deal. Great idea!
• All winches are one color -- the motor, gear box, control pack, tie plate are all the same color.
• New designed transmission and motor -- thicker stronger steel, new clutch lever, improved clutch operation. The motor has aluminum housing and new terminals with increased efficiency.
• New Drum -- Large one piece aluminum drum with better sealing and integrated rope anchor.
• Fast line speed and low amp draw
• Seals better -- keeping water and muck out of the winch.
• Automatic mechanical brake
• New light weight design -- especially if you go with the synthetic rope. This winch weighs about 20 pounds lighter than the VR Series of winches.

So summing it up -- this winch is faster, lighter, sealed better, new technology...It is a middle of the road priced winch. The Zeon series winch is available in 3 capacities ... 8000, 10,000 and 12,000 pounds. The 8 and the 10 are available with the synthetic rope as pictured below. All winches come with the appropriate fairlead and remote and wiring to the battery. If you need to remote mount the control pack a kit is required and sold seperatley.

The one problem that we have with the winch. The sizing is a little wider than all the others so occasionally fitting into a bumper can be a problem. Most manufacturers have fixed their openings in the bumpers so the new winch will fit, however, it is still something to watch out for!

Warn is starting their rebates Novemeber 1st through the end of the year. The rebate on the Zeon series is $100 .Check out the winches on our website at www.fourtogo.com

Rancho build for Easter Jeep

Four To Go has been contracted by Rancho Suspension to do a build on a new JK... By new, I mean it only has 85 miles. We will be changing the front a rear bumpers, Rock Sliders, wheels and tires, 4" long arm kit, Pro Rock Dana 60 Axles, K&N air intake kit and Warn Winch. Here are a few pictures from the first day of tear down...

Dynatrac Free Spin Kit

Today the shop installed a DynaTrac free spin kit on a Dodge. Basically this puts an actual hub on the front of the truck that you can manually engage the 4wd. This makes the truck a little more reliable in the fact that some 'weak link' (the unit bearing) parts are removed and it slows down the wear and tear on the front end from stopping the differential from spinning all the time. You can also increase gas mileage by installing this conversion.

Here is an article from Diesel Power that talks a little more about the kit http://www.dieselpowermag.com/tech/dodge/0908dp_dynatrac_free_spin_hub_conversion_kit/

And the truck...

Have a great weekend!

 

January 2013 ... new ideas!

In the midst of being thrown full thrust into technology and kind of embracing it and kind of wishing it away I have decided that Four To Go is going to make a better effort of being present on the web. So here I am blogging again. Not sure what took me so long to do this, as it isn't like it is difficult to pick a subject and write about it. Sometimes I think we just get so wrapped up in thinking that life is busy and who has time for that? But here is what I need...give me ideas you want articles about. So comment on this post and then in the near future we will address such topics.

Here are some pictures to hold you over

We work on more than just Jeep!

Jeep JK Write Up

It was recently brought to my attention that we should do some vehicle write ups with some of the builds we do...What a fabulous idea...so maybe weekly, maybe not I'll pick a vehicle and tell about the stuff that has been done to upgrade it...I'm going to start with an easy one this week :)

This is a 2008 Jeep Rubicon...It has the Rancho 4" Long arm suspension kit with PSC Hydro assist steering and JKS track bar. Also, using the FOX shocks. It has front and rear Rancho differential covers with the skid plates and 5.13 gears. The tires are BFG KM2 mud terrain 37 x 12.50 r 17 on a American Racing Cannon 17x9" wheel. In this picture it has the Rampage front bumper with the Warn Power Plant winch. That has currently been changed to the Wilderness Products New G2 front bumper with Bushwacker fender flares.

In this picture you can see the Bushwacker flares with the Garvin/Wilderness rock sliders and Rear swing away bumper system. On the swing away the Powertank Bracket with the 10lb Powertank that is super useful to air up those tires after a day of four wheeling. Also installed in a Helix throttle body spacer, AFE air intake and Hypertech power programmer. The Rubicon comes factory with the 4 to 1 transfer case gearing, electronic sway bar disconnects and electronic front and rear lockers... All very convenient on the trail. 

 Recently this Jeep has done trails such as Chinamen's Gulch down by Buena Vista and Jenny Creek in Colorado and Top of the World and Poison Spider in Moab.

Learning Curve!

So...its been brought to my attention that we need to make some changes to our website...Talked to some people and got a new site up...(Great news!) Well its not all the way done, but now I have to basically 'go back to school' to learn how to use it! Not sure I like this idea anymore!
