RUST CONVERTER
FERTAN
fertanusa.com
Fertan, with a US-based office in Miami, Florida, has released its Fertan Rust Converter, which is a patented formula made in Germany that removes rust instead of covering it up. It chemically converts rust into a stable, blackened layer that can be rinsed away, leaving behind a protective zinc coating. This protective layer prevents rust for up to six months, ensuring long-term protection for previously painted or oxidized metal surfaces.
The product is simple to use. Apply it to the rusted area and it will quickly turn it into a blackened metal that, after rinsing, is ready for painting. It is recommended as a long-term, protective rust treatment for maintenance interventions. One quart will cover up to 130 square feet, and it is available in 8.5 fluid ounces, 1.1 quarts, or 1.32 gallons.

PROFORM
proformparts.com
This High-Capacity 14,000-lb. Vehicle Scale System (part number 67641) from PROFORM in Warren, Michigan, is designed to be used with a chassis pull-down rig, which allows for the simulation of actual track conditions by pulling down on the vehicle’s suspension until the desired heights are reached.
This scale system replicates the chassis position conditions experienced on the track using the actual suspension compression data directly from the vehicle as captured by a laser Chassis Height Measuring System (CHMS), eliminating guesswork. It has an intuitive LCD display that allows the user to receive real-time feedback for precise adjustments with a sounding alert signal when weight or percent targets are close for each individual pad.
The system comes complete with a sturdy, well-designed, foam-lined hard case and is fully portable, with roller wheels and a telescoping handle for convenient mobility and storage.
Enhance your chassis setup with front/back, side-to-side, and cross-weight data, all displayed on a backlit LCD screen that reads in both pound and kilogram units. Capacity per pad is 3,500 lbs., and the 16- x 16- x 1 3/4-inch pads are made from die-cast aluminum. Twelve AA batteries are included.

Following the release of its 42X13.50R17LT BAJA BOSS M/T, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels in Stow, Ohio, has added an additional 42-inch size and a massive 44-inch size, both for 20-inch wheels.

“When we launched the BAJA BOSS M/T line in 2019, it quickly gained a reputation for delivering off-road traction and durability while providing a premium on-road experience,” said Ben Anderson. “When we saw how many fanatics were pushing their builds to new limits, we knew we had to expand the BAJA BOSS M/T lineup to include extreme sizes they were seeking.”
