What’s New… (March 01, 2007)


Aftermarket Bumper

The Superbumper will pull a trailer, protect a vehicle from rear-end collisions, reduce whiplash injuries, shield a gas tank from under-ride, and eliminate parking lot and parallel parking dents and dings. It is the only bumper (original or aftermarket) to pass the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s 5 mph “Rear Into Pole” crash test without damage to the vehicle or the bumper. Designed to fit any vehicle with a 2″ receiver hitch, the unit comes standard with turn signals, brake lights, running lights, and emergency flashers. The hitch is rated Class III / IV for pulling trailers up to 6,000 pounds with a tongue weight of 600 pounds.

Diesel Stacks

ANSA Automotive now offers Silverline Universal Black Stainless Stack kits for light diesel trucks. These new stacks undergo a nickel-plating process to give them a smoke-like appearance, offering a unique look and polished finish that is brand new to the truck accessory market. This new finish also resists smudging and hides diesel exhaust soot, often visible with regular stainless products. Stack Kits feature 5″ in-bed 409 stainless steel plumbing with polished black stacks, in either mitre-cut or turn-out styles. The internal design features a unique splitter plate that ensures equal exhaust flow from both stacks, resulting in a better-quality sound and improved performance. Stack Kits come complete with all hardware and attach to any 4″ diesel exhaust system.

Finished in hard anodized black for long-lasting wear, the corrosion resistant cross shafts have a custom billet stainless steel insert to prevent wear on the aluminum shaft. The billet aluminum cross shafts offer over a three-pound weight savings to the control arms.

Rugged Task Lighting

The Canbuilt Podlight Model # POD-1000 features cordless LEDs with a comparable brightness to a 75-watt bulb. Unlike conventional bulbs, they won’t blow out when dropped.

The unit comes complete with a 12-volt auto and 110 volt wall charger.
