AEV ACQUIRES NTH DEGREE MOBILITY

Missoula, MT - Missoula-based American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), long a favorite supplier of aftermarket parts to the Jeep off-road community, will soon be adding the highly-regarded Nth Degree Mobility suspension lift kits to its expanding product line.

Off-road enthusiasts have bemoaned the recent closing of Nevada-based Nth Degree Mobility, provider of innovative and expertly engineered long-arm and short-arm suspension lift kits, among other products. Now AEV announces it will pick up a “significant” portion of Nth Degree’s inventory and product line, with plans to continue manufacturing and distributing those products “in the near future.”

AEV asks for patience as it moves over inventory and equipment, but promises the same commitment to quality and innovation that Nicole and Jim Frens provided Nth Degree Mobility customers for years.

“It’s really unfortunate that Nth Degree had to close its doors. Nth Degree has been a major innovator in the suspension industry and has developed a near cult following with good reason,” said Dave Harriton, President of AEV. “Because this has happened so quickly, we are still trying to determine how long it will take for us to incorporate their products into our system. It is our goal, however, to have most of the existing suspension line back on the market along with several new products in the near future.”

“Most of the line will remain unchanged, although we will be simplifying and redesigning some of the existing components to make it easier for our dealer network to stock and for our users to install,” Harriton said.

AEV itself has been an Nth Degree customer, employing its suspension and skidplate products on AEV conversion vehicles. AEV will integrate Nth Degree’s design, engineering, and development operations into AEV’s Missoula, Montana facility while warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing will be moved into AEV’s Walled Lake, Michigan plant. Watch for further announcements on plans for former Nth Degree products at www.aev-conversions.com.

Regarded as the premier innovator in the Jeep aftermarket, as well as the only supplier of fully-validated, all-steel stamped parts and accessories for Jeeps, AEV continues a rapid expansion of its offerings to the dedicated Jeep community.

In the past year, the company has brought forth a number of products for the popular new Jeep Wrangler (JK), including a stamped front bumper, hood, corner guards, wheels, and skid plates, among others. The company’s fully-integrated “Brute” conversion kit has electrified the off-road community, providing all parts needed to convert a TJ Wrangler into a custom AEV Brute pickup.

Several AEV vehicles will be featured at the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Oct. 30 - Nov.2, including a fully-equipped AEV 4-Door Wrangler (JK) with a custom Kicker Audio sound system; a four door Wrangler Unlimited with a 525HP 6.4L HEMI will also be featured.

Kilby Enterprises Trail Boss Evap Canister Relocation Kit
for 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Burbank, CA - Kilby Enterprises is proud to announce the release of their new Trail Boss Evap Canister Relocation Kit for 2007-08 Jeep JK Wranglers (part # JK-EV).

When Jeep redesigned the Wranglers, they left the Evaporation Canister in a vulnerable position. Not only that, but it's taking up useful real estate underneath the JK that can be used for other accessories, such as an auxiliary air tank.



While the four-door Unlimited models have a little more room underneath, the two-door models will require relocation of the canister in order to install Kilby's Onboard Air system.

Like all Kilby Trail Boss products, the Evap Canister Relocation Kit is made of high quality materials that will stand the test of time on the rocks.

Installation is simple and should not take more than an hour.

Weldcraft Torches Improve Flexibility, Reduce Cost

Tool and Fabrication at Off-road.com



-Versatile modular design
-Available gas valve version
-Configurable torch head options


APPLETON, Wis. 12 September 2007—For welding operators who encounter multiple joint configurations or joints with limited access, Weldcraft offers its WP-150 and WP-200 hand-held air-cooled TIG torches. These torches have a modular design with easily configurable head options that help improve flexibility and provide better welding performance, even in hard-to-reach areas.

The modular design also allows for easy, low-cost maintenance and repairs, and minimizes downtime for torch changeovers. When welding operators encounter a new joint, they can simply change to the desired head option, instead of connecting a new torch. Both torches feature a flexible neck that can be adjusted to reach most any angle, and the WP-150 also has an available AK-150 modular flex kit that allows welding operators to convert this torch into 20 unique configurations.

The WP-150 and WP-200 torches feature a comfortable ribbed handle that remains cool even after prolonged use, allowing for longer periods of welding time and reducing operator discomfort associated with torch overheating. The addition of a copper head and coil assembly increases the torches cooling capacity and extends consumable life, both factors that prevent costly downtime.

Additionally, both torches are available with an optional gas valve (WP-150V, WP-200V) for greater shielding gas flow control. The WP-150 is also available in a version (WP-150G) that features a 24-90 (90 degree) head to improve maneuverability on the most complex joints.

The WP-150 torches are rated at 150 amps DC or 105 amps AC at 60-percent duty cycle. The WP-200 torches are rated at 200 amps DC and 150 amps AC, also at 60-percent duty cycle.

For more information, contact Weldcraft at 800-752-7620 or 920-882-6800; fax: 920-882-6840; visit www.weldcraft.com, e-mail customerservice@weldcraft.com or write to Weldcraft Customer Service, 2741 N. Roemer Road, Appleton, WI 54911.

Weldcraft is the world’s leading manufacturer of GTAW (TIG) welding torches and accessories. A broad line of premium products includes the unique Crafter Series, Legacy™ Series, MicroTig,™ Quick Connect System,™ WP Series, and Single Piece Collet/Collet Body
