2015 Vehicle Technology Briefing Seminar Program The SEMA Vehicle Technology Briefing Seminar (TBS) program focuses on advanced vehicle technologies and government regulations immediately impacting SEMA members’ businesses, as well as future legislation, technologies, systems and engineering trends being implemented by OEMs. The primary goal is to help members understand the latest vehicle technologies and leverage SEMA-developed vehicle technology solutions, as well as new business opportunities, by providing open forums with industry leaders and experts for networking and learning about vehicle technologies that are important to them and relevant to their product development and business plans. Vehicle technology is at the top of the performance aftermarket trending list and matters more than ever for driving fast, smart, cool and connected. Seventy-nine percent of automotive CEOs believe

that advanced vehicle technology will transform their businesses over the next five years. Advanced vehicle technologies don’t totally eliminate existing vehicle technologies, but they do often eliminate unprepared businesses and companies. This program is designed to help members avoid that fate. Four Vehicle Technology Briefing Sessions are scheduled for the 2015 TBS Program, themed “Fast, Smart, Cool and Connected.” The complete list follows: TBS-1 Monday, November 2 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m., LVCC N258 Vehicle Dynamics Forum: Customizing With Confidence and Ensuring Compliance TBS-2 Tuesday, November 3 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m., LVCC N258 Racing and Performance Forum: The Future of Motorsports and Performance

Omix-ADA Off-Road Success Center to Feature Historic Jeep Collection Omix-ADA, a leading manufacturer of high-quality Jeep, truck and off-road parts and accessories, will feature six historic Jeeps from its recently expanded vintage and historic Jeep Collection at the company’s Off-Road Success Center during the 2015 SEMA Show in booth #34000. Since first debuting its Jeep Collection at the 2013 SEMA Show, Omix-ADA went on to acquire more than 30 historically significant Jeeps, chronicling the brand’s history from pre-WWII prototypes through the modern day JK Wrangler. Following last year’s theme of civilian-oriented Jeeps from the ’40s through today, this year’s theme centers on six historic Jeeps that were considered “work vehicles.” Four of these were just recently added to the company’s collection: • ’46 Willys CJ-2A Farm Jeep: One of the first examples of postwar civilian-era Jeeps, the CJ-2A was marketed as the “All-Around Farm Work-Horse.” • ’47 Willys CJ-2A Fire Truck: Produced as early as 1945, a small number of these models were converted to serve as fire

trucks. These small, nimble 4×4 fire trucks were perfect for fighting fires before they got too big and were the perfect size, as they could go where the larger fire trucks would not fit. • ’55 Willys Pickup: This ’55 Willys 4x4 pickup was originally used by the A.W. Berryesa Company in Bridgeport, California. It is equipped with a 226ci Super Hurricane six-cylinder Continental engine, T-90 transmission and four-wheel drive. • ’59 Jeep FC-150: One of only 1,546 examples produced in 1959. These trucks were primarily marketed as work vehicles for corporate, municipal, military, farm and civilian use. • ’78 Jeep J-10 Pickup: A remarkably well-preserved example, this J-10 features extremely low mileage (2,440 original miles), an exclusive Levi denim interior and air conditioning—a rare option for J-10 pickups.

Omix-ADA invites all SEMA Show attendees to visit the OffRoad Success Center in booth #34000 to view the featured vehicles from the Jeep heritage collection.

• ’82 Jeep CJ-7 Fire Truck: Prior to being owned by Omix-ADA, this CJ-7 was used as a brush fire truck with the Northwest Homer Fire Protection District in Texas. Returning for its fourth year, the Omix-ADA Off-Road Success Center is a forum where business owners and industry enthusiasts within the Jeep and off-road market can freely exchange ideas, learn new concepts for success and network with other industry professionals. Omix-ADA invites all SEMA attendees to visit the Off-Road Success Center in booth #34000 to view the featured vehicles from the collection, celebrate Jeep heritage and learn how to thrive in the growing Jeep and off-road market.

Start Your Day With Keynote & Coffee By Michael Hart The SEMA Show is bringing back one of the most exciting attractions from last year. Keynote & Coffee features thought leaders in business and industry to help you get an early start to your day with stimulating perspectives on how to look at your business in a slightly different way. The free seminars will kick off every morning of the Show at 8:00 a.m., in LVCC North Hall, room N258 in the before the exhibit halls open and the conference sessions begin—meaning you’ll have a chance to get your brain moving with new ideas about the industry before you plunge into your day’s activities— and you’ll get a free cup of coffee to go along with it!

Each of the early morning Keynote & Coffee sessions have their own themes and speakers who represent some of the most forward-thinkers you’ll find in the industry today. On one day you might learn how the impact of social media is changing the way you measure business results and what you need to know to use new forms of media for your own company. Or you can hear from Scott Ginsberg, a company leader who decided

15 years ago to try a silly experiment and started wearing a name tag— and never took it off. You’ll get the chance to find out what he learned from his experiment and what being an “approachable leader” can mean for your business. And then there’s Dave Carroll, a songwriter who wrote a song about an airline breaking his guitar that went viral on YouTube. All of these speakers are available to you at no charge, first thing every morning of the SEMA Show at 8:00 a.m., to set you in the right frame of mind before you hit the exhibit halls and the conference sessions. Start every Show morning at Keynote & Coffee in LVCC room N258.

These mufflers are surprisingly quiet; netting a reduction of approximately 8–10 decibels over open headers and can be run with a turndown for even further noise reduction. The mufflers can be used on methanol or gas engines and/or, as an addition to an existing exhaust system for further sound reduction without a loss of power.

Consider Memphis businessman George Poteet, proud grandfather of eight and one great grandchild, who had hoped to eclipse the late Don Vesco’s 458-mph World Land Speed Record driving his “Speed Demon” streamliner on the Bonneville Salt Flats at Speedweek (cancelled this year due to the conditions of the salt). No upstart, Poteet has five national and international speed records carved out from 32 runs in excess of 400 mph. It’s certainly hard to ignore, on any level—business or pleasure—a segment of motorsports that commands the participation of several hundred active competitors at a single event, especially when it is held in an environmentally hostile venue more than 100 miles from the nearest trauma center. Factor in that the speed records inked by amateurs easily sustain 200, 300, 400 mph for miles. Veteran salt racers include Jason Line, Don Garlits, Danny Ongais, AJ Foyt, Bobby Unser and Dan Gurney.

They all know that records require two passes whose average surpasses the current record. National marks are set over a two-day period, but international versions must be completed in 60 minutes. Deteriorating conditions and wet weather at the Bonneville Salt Flats (BSF) forced the Southern California Timing Association/Bonneville Nationals Inc. (SCTA/BNI) to cancel Speed Week this year. The event organizers were unable to identify more than 2¼ miles of salt suitable for a safe course.

“I would encourage any professional to try their hand at it,” said Dale Cherry of Injection Connection, Horsham, Pennsylvania, who has tuned a variety of 300-mph salt race cars. “It is not as easy as they might think. Getting involved with land speed racing (LSR) is like taking a university graduate course. The experience will improve upon what you already know and show you how to apply things in a whole new way. The salt is humbling, where you find out just how much you don’t know.”

Cherry, who specializes in electronic fuel injection, blames Wayne Jesel for the chronic speed infection that he, in turn, unashamedly spreads around the Philadelphia area. Jesel introduced him to the sport in 2008. “He hired me to calibrate the twin-turbo electronic-injected Dodge R5 engine in his LSR pickup,” said Cherry. “Because I could only do a partial tune at his shop, we had to finish the job on the salt. Wayne later let me drive to earn my red hat in the ‘Bonneville 200 MPH Club.’”


Former National Muscle Car Champion Cherry, who spent 40 years drag racing, realizes that he will never make his living from just land speed racing, which represents a modest 15% of his annual revenue. But his salt stature has springboarded him into additional revenue streams in other street and track segments. “I can honestly say LSR has grown my overall business some 30% per year,” he said. For the Jesel Valvetrain bottom line, land speed racing accounts for a little less than 5% of its annual revenue. However, Danny and Wayne Jesel recognize their participation in the sport provides a payback perhaps more worthwhile than profit. “There is value in being able to say, ‘world’s fastest,’ or ‘most durable.’ Bonneville is a pseudo R&D lab,” said LSR hobbyist Wayne Jesel. “The salt is a de facto dyno test environment where the runs are exaggerated, like long, slow pulls where everything has to be perfect or things will start to come apart. If things do come apart, it makes you want to go back and make quality adjustments, improvements in your production process. We have made changes in parts without having a failure because we were able to see excessive wear and other potential problems early.”

The Jesel pickup is twin turbocharged, spinning up some 2,400 hp that, weather willing, will help snag a class record in excess of 275 mph. Yves Morizot of safety-equipment manufacturer Stand 21, with locations in the United States and France, agrees with Jesel that while LSR may not be a big revenue opportunity, it does offer very good exposure. “Bonneville is known worldwide,” he explained, “and if you are involved with land speed racing, people around the world will hear about you and your products.” A land speed racer in the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show aisles last year was Racepak Data Systems’ Donnie Cummins, senior level tech and salesman, who has peeled off 280 mph in a roadster on the salt. Racepak only derives some 2% of its annual revenue from the velocity hopefuls, but Tim Anderson, company president, believes the market has tremendous growth potential. “Because Donnie is such a successful land speed racer,” revealed Anderson, who sells direct and through dealers, “we believe we can double the business. We are formulating a plan to be on-site at more land speed events with a dedicated truck and trailer setup. You have to be there and explain and show the product to

racers. We have already developed a specific product line for LSR with Donnie’s guidance.” In addition to the SCTA and the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association, which holds the World of Speed event, another key organization in the history of land speed racing is SEMA, a member of the coalition behind Save The Salt, an IRS-recognized Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Stuart Gosswein, SEMA senior director of federal government affairs, serves as the coalition’s contact person. Last year, in a project organized by the Save the Salt Coalition in coordination with the SCTA and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an estimated 2,000 tons of salt were successfully deposited on the mud surface at the end of the access road to the Bonneville Salt Flats. It was graded and then dried to a hard, concretelike racing surface. Although modest in scope, the project demonstrates that it should be possible to deposit dry salt in targeted areas so as to help preserve this national treasure, the site where land speed records have been set over the past 100 years. “The dry salt laydown project marks a milestone event as we celebrate a century of racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats,” said Doug

Evans, chairman of the Save the Salt Coalition. Evans is the current chairman of the board for SEMA. “There has been a significant loss of salt in the area since the ’40s. While millions of tons of salt brine have been pumped back in recent years, a supplemental dry salt program will focus on targeted areas such as the race tracks.” In response to the current deteriorated conditions at the BSF, the BLM is planning to launch a detailed study of the salt crust. “Bonneville has been studied to death,” responded SEMA’s Gosswein. “It’s time for the BLM to do something. “It took decades for the BSF to deteriorate, and it will take decades to undue the damage,” said Gosswein. “The coalition is setting goals for measuring progress. The ultimate objective is to restore the international track to its 13-mile length. The coalition is now engaged with lawmakers, regulators and the public to establish the framework for achieving this goal.” There’s no question that land speed racers are amateurs, but with 500 competitors at Speedweek alone, it is something racing industry companies can’t ignore.

The

With the 6066-CG Nitrocell, workers can also do repairs that are not possible with adhesives, such as mounting tabs, grille bars, high-stress areas, flexible tabs and fender liners.

Educating Yourself at the SEMA Show Known worldwide as the specialty-equipment industry’s premiere trade event where business gets done, the annual SEMA Show is more than a week-long extravaganza of hot aftermarket products, customized vehicles and industry networking. It’s also heavy on learning opportunities. “Throughout Show week, attendees will find a huge roster of educational seminars and learning events geared toward every segment of the industry,” said Zane Clark, SEMA director of education. “Our focus in creating these presentations is to help arm industry professionals with the tools and resources to foster career advancement and businesses growth. We’re especially proud of the wide-ranging programs we’ve put together for 2015, along with the leading experts we’ve gathered to deliver our education tracks.” The following list and descriptions represent a sampling of some of the 2015 program’s top, notto-be-missed opportunities at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). More complete information, along with registration for these additional topics and market-specific tracks can be found at www.SEMAShow.com/education or the SEMA Show app.

Back by popular demand, the SEMA Show’s dynamic Keynotes & Coffee event presents industry and business thought leaders who will have you seeing your own business from fresh perspectives. The free seminars kick off Monday, Show week, at 9:00 a.m., and continue Tuesday through Thursday at 8:00 a.m., before the exhibit halls open and conferences begin. Grab a free cup of coffee and gain valuable insights into a diverse range of topics, including the impact of social media, the emerging market of millennial women and their buying habits, becoming an “approachable leader,” and fun but vital new approaches to customer service. Speakers include Bridget Brennan, CEO of the Female Factor; Scott Ginsberg, a company leader famed for embarking on a “silly name-tag experiment”; and Dave Carroll, a songwriter with a YouTube video about an airline breaking his guitar that became a viral sensation. You’ll find the daily gatherings in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s Upper North Hall, room N258.

Returning for its third year, the popular SEMA Launch Pad is just one of the many must-attend educational presentations offered at the annual SEMA Show. All of the Show’s educational programs are designed to motivate, inspire and arm participants in every industry segment with the professional insights and skills they need to grow their careers and businesses.

This year, four Vehicle Technology Briefing Sessions are planned, revolving around the theme of “Fast, Smart, Cool and Connected.” They will cover “The Intersection of Cars and Car Culture,” “Customizing With Confidence and Ensuring Compliance,” “The Future of Motorsports and Performance” and a Vehicle Electronics Forum panel discussion. All sessions will be held in the SEMA Show Vehicle Technology Center, located in LVCC rooms N258–N260.

Entering its third year, SEMA Launch Pad is more than a business competition propelling exciting new automotive products and services to market. It’s also a must-attend educational experience delivering audience participants an exciting glimpse into creativity and entrepreneurship. The contest gives top young innovators under the age of 40 an industry platform in which to showcase their ideas and business plans, with five finalists taking center stage on November 4, 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., before a live panel of industryicon judges. Making the call to help launch this year’s most promising entrepreneur will be Doug Evans, executive vice president/COO of Luken Communications and SEMA

Chairman of the Board; Ron Coleman, owner of COMP Performance Group; Myles Kovacs, co-founder and president of DUB Magazine; Wade Kawasaki, president/COO of Coker Group; and TV personality Jessi Combs.

Organized around individuals and companies with rich histories of sophisticated advancements in the field, it promises to offer deep insights into how vehicles and materials are evolving, what it all means to the repair process and what will be expected of those performing the repairs.

Smartphones Bring Information and Entertainment Into the Car By Steve Campbell

Smartphones are becoming thoroughly integrated into vehicle electronics systems, bringing many of their apps on the road at the driver’s verbal command. “Smartphones are central to most people’s lives,” said Nathan Wincek, director of product development for AAMP of America. “It’s their source of entertainment, a connection to their loved ones and a work hub when they are on the go. Naturally, the desire exists to access all of these features and functions while in the car, but drivers need to do it safely. AAMP recognizes this need, which is where our line of products comes in. They give smartphone users the connectivity they crave with the safety they need.” AAMP and other electronics manufacturers offer a variety of hands-free and audio-streaming Bluetooth solutions, as well as smartphone-based navigation through phone mirror-

ing. They also offer backup cameras and interfaces, blind-spot elimination camera systems, driving-event recording devices and other driver behavior tracking and vehicle diagnostics systems. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents, especially among teenage drivers, so developing distracted-driving solutions is at the forefront for product development teams. “Most new-car advertisements today have a strong emphasis on safety capabilities over other features such as engine performance,” said Tom Malone, president of Voxx Electronics Corp. “As manufacturers of consumer electronics, we see the importance of developing new technologies that help ensure the safety of consumers and turn the tide of the current epidemic we face today. While we can’t force drivers to put down their cell phones or pay closer attention to Continued on page 14

Distracted driving is one of the worst causes of traffic fatalities, especially among teenage drivers. Audiovox Car Connection is an OBD plug-in device available to all drivers on new and used vehicles and adds features such as text blocking and speed notifications. VOXX Electronic corp., a division of VOXX International, is exhibiting in SEMA booth #11929.

Focus on Mobile Electronics Turn Up the Profit By Cathy Tran

In the early ’60s, the must-have mobile-electronics accessory was actually a record player. Letting the consumer choose the music that came out of the speakers was considered ground-breaking, and has since become a mandatory feature of almost all vehicles. More than 60 years later, the concept of in-car entertainment has grown into a multi-billion dollar segment of the specialty-equipment market. The 2015 SEMA Market Report examines the products, sales channels and installation trends for the mobile-electronics segment valued Continued on page 16

High on many consumer’s “must-have” lists, the alarms and security products category of mobile electronics is mostly sold through brick-and-mortar locations such as auto parts chains and independent specialty stores.

Crimestopper Features Wide Selection of Safety and Security Products Crimestopper will feature its complete line of products, including blind-spot detection systems, DVR, mirror monitors, back-up cameras, remote-start systems, security systems, as well as the Hydroblast Washer Fluid Heating System, during the 2015 SEMA Show. “Crimestopper is dedicated to providing the motorist with the most advanced remote-start and early warning systems available in today’s marketplace,” said Alvin Klement, national sales manager, security and safety products. “Additionally, we are pleased to offer our dealers and distributors a wide array of merchandising solutions, lucrative programs and advanced tools to manage their business with us. I am excited to talk with current and potential customers about these benefits.” Crimestopper featured products on display at the 2015 SEMA Show will include:

RS2-G3 Two-Way Single-Button RemoteStart System

The RS2-G3 is a two-way remote

start and keyless entry system that uses a single-button transmitter for operation at a range of up to 2.5 ft. The transmitter’s single button operates the remote start and keyless entry of the vehicle using different button sequences. There are two remotes for the system, the twoway LED remote, which will confirm remote start and keyless entry by lighting up a series of LEDs on the top of the remote, and a one-way companion remote. Crimestopper’s full line of remote start and remote-start alarm systems are compatible with Fortin and ADS integration modules in full two-way data mode.

The mirror’s screen will display the camera as well as the sensor distance readings when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.

Smartphones Bring Information and Entertainment Into the Car, continued from page 13 the road ahead, we can continue to develop products such as lane-departure and forward collision-warning systems to give drivers another level of safety behind the wheel.” In fact, the huge variety of available mobile-electronics options is among the most significant developments in the industry. “Platform flexibility allows the multiple media options available to consumers today,” said Steve Brown, senior restyle development manager for Alpine Electronics of America Inc. “It also allows them to have choices in their system design. For example, we offer multiple screen options, including an industry-leading 9-in. screen, to give customers a choice beyond the typical aftermarket-industry standard 2-DIN or 1-DIN audio options.” Kevin Campbell, global director of marketing for Kicker, said that a number of formerly popular products have begun to decline in the face of changes brought about by the ability to use new materials to develop smaller products with lighter weight that can still produce a luxury experience in entry- to midlevel vehicles.

“The sale of large amps and subwoofers is diminishing,” he said. “People want improved audio/video performance in their vehicles, but they also want it lightweight and out of the way. On the other hand, marine and powersports are growth areas that smart dealers should cater to.”

Smaller and lighter is in. Kicker’s PXA200.1 monoblock amplifier mixes high power and low current draw with an ultra-small chassis to add vital bass to an audio system while retaining the vehicle’s factory look—and it is weather-resistant. Kicker is in SEMA booth #11861.

Traditional Navigation Systems Bring Versatility

While smartphone integration brings much versatility into mobile electronics, traditional navigation systems still have a place for many drivers. They don’t require network connectivity, which can be crucial in areas of the country that have limited service. The drawback is that they aren’t as easily updated as a smartphone, which always provides current data and can also deliver existing traffic information. Add-on boxes offer another solution for vehicles that aren’t equipped with a factory nav system. “Adding full navigation capabilities to a vehicle’s existing infotainment screen with the installation of

a ‘black box’ is a less costly solution for the consumer while still maintaining the original look, fit, feel and finish,” Malone said. “Integrating this type of plug-and-play module into the vehicle gives the consumer the ability to add navigation to an existing head unit with no modifications to the factory radio.” Alpine’s Brown pointed out that many vehicles are also now equipped with factory rear-seat video, and profitability of aftermarket systems has suffered as a result. Smartphone and

tablet integration has had additional effects on vehicle video systems. “Voxx recently introduced Android-based rear-seat entertainment systems that provide users with the same content available on any portable device,” Malone said. “It needs a 3G/4G hotspot to feed Internet access while driving outside Wi-Fi coverage, but these systems allow consumers to enjoy all of the features that Android has to offer while still supporting DVD capabilities as well as being securely embedded into the headrest.” Malone pointed out that wearables are also becoming popular devices among consumers to monitor personal health and wellness, and he believes that they will also find their way into vehicle integration. “Creating a connection where the device can communicate with the vehicle will provide the capability to control functions for the vehicle’s Continued on page 16

Focus on Mobile Electronics, continued from page 13 at $2.7 billion in manufacturer revenue. As SEMA Director of Market Research Gavin Knapp explains, this year the 2015 SEMA Market Report drills each market section down to the product level. “SEMA Market Research has undertaken a project to better understand the what, where and why of consumer purchases of specialtyequipment products,” said Knapp. In fact, the new report analyzes an annual survey of 20,000 U.S. consumers, providing insight into product demand, retail trends and consumer profiles that, according to Knapp, had previously been missing for the industry. Knapp added, “In year one, we are reporting the retail channels where consumers purchased specialty-equipment products during 2014.” This is actually a powerful metric because in subsequent years,

he explained, SEMA will be able to develop trends and projections for product purchases, retail sites and vehicle applications. Audio products are a popular category of mobile-electronics accessories, representing $1.3 billion in manufacturer revenue. This includes amps, speakers, receivers, tuners and other related products. Sales of cellular and Bluetooth accessories grew 4%, reaching nearly $600 million in manufacturer revenue. Now more than ever, consumers expect their cell phones to work seamlessly with their vehicle’s stereo system to allow for hands-free calling while driving. In terms of sales channels, across most mobile-electronics categories—alarms and security products, sound systems and audio accessories, wireless and smartphone integration products, and mobile TV

Almost a quarter of sound system and audio accessories are sold through auto parts chains both physical stores and online.

and video products—traditional auto parts chains with a physical location dominate the retail landscape. Because of the technical nature of many mobile-electronics installations, it makes sense that 61% of customers prefer to have someone else install their purchases. This is a very positive indicator for retailers involved in mobile-electronics applications. Even for customers that have done their research online, they will more than likely visit a traditional retail location to buy

and install new products. To learn more, download the 2015 SEMA Market Report at www.sema.org /marketreport2015.

Given the technical challenges involved with integrating mobile electronics into a vehicle, more than 60% of consumers prefer to have a retail technician handle the installation.

Smartphones Bring Information and Entertainment Into the Car, continued from page 14 health as well as the consumer’s health,” he said. “Down the road, this technology might also be able to help monitor driver alertness. The introduction of the iWatch should open many new opportunities for the connected car.” Wincek said that three of the greatest opportunities for mobileelectronics dealers are bringing new-vehicle technologies to older vehicles, embracing technology and social media for day-to-day business and problem solving, and becoming experts in the technologies and products they are dealing in to create value and to help offset pricing pressures from the Internet. Brown agreed, pointing out that aftermarket integration into vehicles offers a prime opportunity for dealers. “New vehicles are becoming more

and more complex, dictating a move away from the industry-standard DIN architecture and also forcing aftermarket manufacturers to find ways to work with OEM systems rather than simply disabling them,” he said. “Without a doubt, the light-truck market in the United States is key.

Consumers buy and upgrade more of those vehicles than any other, and that will lead these customers to want a more premium—and more profitable—in-dash solution.” Campbell said that changing demographics could also be problematic for dealers. “This is no longer a business exclusive to 15- to 24-year-old young men,” he said. “Employment for that demographic has become daunting. Savvy retailers need to adjust their approach and product mix to satisfy a bit older consumer who is experienced with car audio and knows what he wants and doesn’t want.” Brown also believes that mobile-

electronics dealers need to focus on premium retailing to maximize their profitability and allow them to create repeat, happy customers. “It requires a premium selling process and a premium product,” he said. “We offer both, and that is the best way for mobile-electronic retailers to remain viable with so many other purchasing options available to today’s customer.” In mobile electronics, perhaps more than in any other facet of the industry, keeping up with trends and ongoing developments is critical to success. “Embrace the changes that are happening within our industry and the new technologies that will drive the mobile-electronics experience in the future,” Malone advised. “Position yourself as a forward-looking retailer who learns from the past and is ready for the future.”

Mishimoto’s E36 Electric Fan Shroud Booth #21655

The Mishimoto Performance Fan Shroud kit is designed to keep the BMW E36 cool. This unique electric fan shroud setup completely eliminates the stock mechanical fan. The fan shroud mounts directly to the stock radiator, Mishimoto Performance aluminum radiator and Mishimoto X-Line Performance aluminum radiator, and includes a 16-in. high-flow electric fan that produces more than 1,850 cfm of airflow. Optionally, the kit can include a Mishimoto Adjustable Fan Controller kit, which will provide the user with total control over coolant temperatures. The Mishimoto BMW E36 Fan Shroud kit includes all hardware required for installation and is compatible with the stock expansion tank. This fan shroud has a stealth black finish that provides a subtle accent for the engine bay. As with all Mishimoto products, this fan shroud kit includes a lifetime warranty. Information: www.mishimoto.com or 302-762-4501.

PML Transmission Pan for the Aisin AS68RC Booth #24425

PML brings to market an extra-capacity transmission pan for ’07–’12 RAM Chassis Cab trucks. The PML pan holds approximately 25% more and is 30% less than the average price for a replacement stock pan. PML constructs the pan of sand-cast aluminum so it is heavy-duty. The big RAM 3500, 4500, 5500 work trucks finally have an alternative for transmission maintenance. The PML pan features thick walls and a gasket flange for a secure seal to the transmission housing. Heat in the transmission fluid is dissipated through cooling fins. Reducing heat, the enemy of lubrication, helps extend the life of the transmission. PML designed the pan to clear the cooling line routed next to the stock pan. PML includes a magnetic drain plug and mounting bolts for ease of installation. Information: www.yourcovers.com or 310-671-4345.

Performance Automatic’s New Transmission Overflow Tank

Torco SR-1 Super Street Series Oil

Booth #71004

Torco SR-1 Super Street oil is built with the same thought and care that has gone into building Torco’s purpose-built racing oil line over the last 65 years and counting. With a non-phos-based over-treat additive system, SR-1 is catalytic converter-safe and 02 sensor-safe. Using SR-1 ensures that you are putting the proper amount of anti-wear additive, dispersant and detergent into your car’s engine. Today’s standard passenger car oils do not compare to the performance of SR-1. Available in 1L or 4L bottles. Information: www.torcousa.com or 909-980-1495.

Booth #22543

Performance Automatic has added a new transmission overflow tank to its ever-growing selection of transmissions and components. Even though all transmission fluid is supposed to stay in the transmission, sometimes excessive heat or high RPMs encourage the fluid to escape through the transmission vent. Performance Automatic now offers a solution—PA99300, a transmission overflow tank. The PA99300 is a polished aluminum canister that measures 8 in. by 3.5 in. and weighs 1.36 lbs. Performance Automatic’s transmission overflow tank comes complete with an easy-to-operate drain valve, mounting hardware, clamps and a rubber hose. Performance Automatic’s transmission overflow tank is as good-looking as it is useful. The PA99300 eliminates the need for spraying the undercarriage of a car with AFT, which can drip on the driveway. Information: www.performanceautomatic.com or 240-439-4650.

Interview With Aaron Schulenburg, Executive Director of SCRS BodyShop Business Associate Editor Alicia Crabtree sat down with Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) Executive Director Aaron Schulenburg to discuss highlights of the SEMA Show and Repairer Driven Education (RDE) sessions and why he can’t contain his excitement for the Show every year. BodyShop Business: Is there anything new with RDE this year? New classes, new speakers?

Aaron Schulenburg: There’s actually a lot of changes that we made this year. It’s funny, we were talking the other day at our Open Board Meeting, I don’t think we’ve had a single year where we haven’t kind of disrupted our model and changed things around. Every year, we’ve looked at user feedback and kind of said, ‘Hey, how can we take that and adapt it to make it better and more usable.’ Continued on page 39

Repairer Driven Education Schedule Thursday, November 5 OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit The OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit is one of the most unique networking and learning opportunities available to the collision-repair industry, designed to put SEMA Show attendees in a room with innovators in automotive structural design and technology. The Summit’s focus is on emerging trends in vehicle construction and technology and how both of those aspects influence vehicle repairability and collision industry preparation. The presentations will feature companies and individuals with rich histories of producing sophisticated advancements in the automotive and collision repair fields, and will highlight architectural and technological developments in modern vehicles, and how those advancements intersect with the repair process. Every participant in this industry can benefit from better insight into how vehicles and materials are evolving, what that means in the repair process and what will be expected of those who are performing these repairs. The future of our collision repair industry is highly skilled professionals, working on highly sophisticated automobiles that require the industry to embrace the necessary investments in training and equipment; but also relies on informed business owners who understand how to define for themselves what a sustainable and successful business model to support that investment looks like. Space will be limited, early registration is encouraged. Sessions can be selected individually or as part of the full 11SE_15Cumberland series pass. 9/2/15 9:42 AM Page 1

9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m. OEM1: Advanced Automotive Technology Structural Connectivity–Understanding the Future of Automaker Joining Techniques A panel of specialists with a variety of backgrounds in automotive joining will discuss the advanced structural joining approaches being used in modern automotive architecture. The panelists will have expertise in riveting, bonding, welding of aluminum, steel and mixed materials, and factory-level joining. Tech Crunch–The Role of Programming and Diagnostics in Post-Repair Road Worthiness A panel of automakers, technology specialists and programmers discuss the real-world application of vehicle scans, diagnostics and calibrations. These subjectmatter experts will bring a focus on the technical aspects of vehicle scan code requirements and the role that diagnostic testing plays in repairing vehicles and restoring roadworthiness. Learn why you don’t know what you don’t know if you aren’t performing full system scans. 12:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m. OEM2: The Future of Aluminum in the Automotive Industry Attendees will be treated to a fascinating presentation on technological advancements in aluminum manufacturing, construction and engineering, joining, and future advancements that are predicted to be impacting how frequently the material will be present in your repair facility, and how it will be used on automotive bodies. The presentation will include perspectives on how lightweighting is driving innovation, and the role repairability plays in aluminum development.

Following the presentation, a panel of automakers who utilize aluminum in their vehicle construction will join the presenter on stage to further discuss the real-world application of aluminum structures in vehicle design, vehicle safety and vehicle repairability. 3:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. OEM3: The Continuing Evolution of Advanced Steels in Automotive Bodies Those familiar with the ongoing substrate battle in automotive light weighting get the sense that recent release of mass-market aluminum vehicles coupled with the looming governmental expectations for weight reduction are driving major changes and innovations in the steel industry. Aluminum may have been all the rage in collision-industry information, but steel continues to be poised to play the most significant role in the automotive footprint for the foreseeable future; although, not necessarily the same steel that that the industry is accustomed to. Join our esteemed presenter as he explores the factors driving innovation and research in the steel industry. Following the presentation, a panel of automakers known for their use of steel will join onstage to again further discuss the real-world application of steel structures in vehicle design, vehicle safety and vehicle repairability.

Interview With Aaron Schulenburg, continued from page 29 I think a couple of the big developgeous for the attendees. Obviously, ments that we’ve had for this year are consolidation is a big concern for the addition of added session times independent shops and for people and more classes. The 2015 RDE series who go, ‘Hey I have a family business has more class offerings than any and I don’t want to sell, I don’t want other previous year has offered. Part to get out, but how can I compete of that is based on a survey we did of against these massive businesses?’ So 7,000-plus repairers who participated we actually put together a couple sesin the event in the past, and basically sions: one is called “Competing with got feedback that while we’ve always Consolidators,” and the other one is offered afternoon classes, there’s also a called “Don’t Let Consolidators and desire for late-morning classes. So we MSOs Steal Your Insurance Work.” added a new time slot in the mornings They’re focused on helping those 8/25/15 12:39 PM Page 1 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11SE_15DominionNew small businesses figure out how to of the show. Those morning sessions remain relevant in the marketplace. will go from 9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m, so that gives nine additional courses that BSB: What kind of attendance are weren’t previously available, which is you expecting both for RDE and the pretty exciting. It allows us to open up how many we offered. The other thing that we did was we moved our OEM Summit to Thursday, rather than Wednesday. Collision Industry Conference (CIC) is meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, so for people who want to attend CIC in the mornings on those two days, attend afternoon classes on those days as well, and then come to the Summit on Thursday; we accommodated for all that. The other piece of feedback we received was last year [when] we did our OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit as a full-day ticket, so it was a 9–5 event. The feedback was, ‘We love having an all-day that’s kind of focused on this one kind of really important aspect of the industry, however, not everybody has the flexibility of dedicating a whole day to being in one session.’ So what we did was restructure it into three unique sessions that will be 9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.– 5:00 p.m. Those three sessions will flow as if they all work hand-in-hand. So somebody who wants to attend all three, does a full-series pass and comes to all three; it’s going to feel like a continuous event from start to finish from 9:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. For somebody who can only make it to one portion, we broke it out into those three sessions and made it possible to be able to register for each individually. We kind of made it a little bit more flexible with the hope that it could accommodate everybody’s schedule and those who are there can get the most out of it. One of the questions we get asked from everybody as ‘certification’ becomes a bigger buzzword is, ‘What do I look for, where do I start, what do I do?’ And what we wanted to do is give people a starting point to understand the new technologies and new equipment that they require and things along those lines. I think things like that are going to be very advanta-

SEMA Show in general this year? AS: It’s always hard to predict, and we kind of make it a habit not to do prediction numbers. What I will say is that based on preregistrations right now, I feel very certain that registration will follow the same trend that it has followed for the last five years that we’ve been at the SEMA Show providing education, and that is that it will grow once again. BSB: Why should repairers come out to SEMA and attend RDE? AS: There’s nobody in this industry who can’t benefit from exposure to ideas and rethinking how they approach their business and their market and things along those lines. We all need a support system of ideas

to rely on, to grow and to better ourselves and to develop. The nice thing about RDE is it puts the leading subject-matter experts in this industry, and from other industries who have relativity to ours, in one place for one week where you can get it all at an affordable price. Honestly, you can re-energize yourself. This is a tough business. I don’t think there’s anybody who owns and runs or works in the collision-repair business who isn’t going to admit it’s hard work. Sometimes it’s easy to get pulled down by the difficult situations we face and the trials we face. It’s really important to get that shot in the arm and get re-engaged and re-excited about what we do. That’s where SEMA comes in.

UTV-Specific Applications Released for SpeedStrapTire Hold Downs SpeedStrap, a division of Piston Driven Manufacturing, has announced new, innovative UTVspecific spare-tire hold-downs. Anybody who spends time driving a UTV knows that a spare tire or two can be a lifesaver when you are offroad miles from home. SpeedStrap has the answer with a growing range of innovative spare tire hold-downs. Manufactured in Southern California from 1.5-in.-wide nylon material, the hold-downs feature a deluxe, wide-grip ratchet and fully adjustable ends that allow the center point and ratchet to be positioned right

where you want it. The hold-downs are designed to install easily using factory locations, and the snap hooks are twisted to keep the strap flat against the tire for a clean, factory look. Spare-tire installation is simple: Just rest the stock spare tire in the bed of the vehicle and lean it back between the cage supports. The tiedown simply wraps around the cage support bar and attaches to the bed with the supplied eyelets creating a three-point tie-down that will keep the tire tucked up and out of the way with room to spare. It is the lightest and most affordable way to carry an

extra tire and wheel. Made in the U.S.A., SpeedStrap spare tire hold-downs are available specifically for both two- and fourseat Polaris RZR XP1000. For those with different needs, there are alternative single and double upright spare tire kits for the RZR XP 1000. SpeedStrap also has a kit for the Can Am Maverick Max, plus a range of generic straps that can be used in a variety of applications. Visit www.speedstrap.com or call 714-774-9444 for more information.

Shiny Wheels and TPMS By Andrew Markel

Custom wheels can deliver some profitable business, but how can you best deal with TPMS sensors and legal requirements? According to NHTSA, it is against the law to intentionally disable a tire-pressure monitoring system, even when switching a customer to custom wheels. In 2011, TIA reached out to NHTSA regarding scenarios that tire dealers commonly face when servicing TPMS-equipped vehicles, specifically addressing the so-called “make inoperative” provisions of NHTSA’s regulations and if they apply to the aftermarket wheels. In short, NHTSA said “a service provider would violate the ‘make inoperative’ prohibition of 49 USC 30122(b) by installing new tires and wheels that do not have a functioning TPMS. To avoid a ‘make inoperative’ violation, the service provider would need to decline to install the new tires and rims, use the TPMS sensors from the original wheels (if they are compatible), or convince the motorist to purchase new TPMS sensors and ensure that the sensors are properly integrated with the vehicle’s TPMS.” By law, you can’t disable the system because the customer doesn’t want to pay for your shop to install or transfer the TPMS sensors to the new wheels. In the eyes of NHTSA, neglecting the sensors is like removing an airbag to install a video screen or removing a catalytic converter to achieve more performance. Most valve stem holes come in a few sizes, with the most common being 0.453-in. and 0.625-in. for snap-in stems. For TPMS valve stems, the size of the hole can be larger for some snap-ins and clamp-ons, but the real problem can be the anatomy of some custom wheels. The valve stem areas may not have the correct size and shape, affecting how a TPMS valve stem seals. Also, some custom wheels can have

drop-centers, barrels and flanges that don’t match up with the original wheel or TPMS sensor. But there are some options. Option 1: Aftermarket Stems and Seals–There are replacement aftermarket valve stems and seals that can seal stock sensors to custom wheels. These can keep the proper orientation and location of the sensor. Option 2: Banding the Sensor–If it is impossible to fit the sensor in the original valve stem hole, you can attach the sensor with a kit that bands the sensor to the drop center of the wheel. These kits come with a metal band and a mounting tab for the sensor. The sensor is attached to the tab using the stock attachment method. When mounting the sensor, make sure it

is mounted flat and in the same orientation as it was on the stock wheel. Make sure the sensor is attached across from the valve stem. Knowing where the sensor is can prevent damage when mounting the tire. Option 3: Looped Valve Stems– This option allows you to mount the TPMS sensor to a mounting hole on

the back of the valve stem. These can work for clamp-on sensors on wide truck wheels.

What Not to Do

Do not epoxy or glue the sensor directly to the drop center of the wheel. Chances are the adhesive will Continued on page 58

Tire Review Recognizes Top Dealerships,

continued from page 49

The Winner of the 2015 Tire Review Top Shop Award presented by Ammco/Coats, which honors the outstanding independent tire dealers in the United States, Canada and Mexico, will be announced during TIA’s special Tire Industry Honors event at Caesars Palace on Monday, November 2. “We are proud and excited to continue for the eighth year as the presenting sponsor of the Top Shop Award program,” said Kevin Keefe, vice president of marketing for Ammco/Coats. “The Top Shop Award really and truly emphasizes the key drivers of success for just about any business, and it’s an award we believe brings muchdeserved recognition to the many successful independent businesses in our industry.” The Tire Review Top Shop Award program showcases exemplary

customer service and retention, employee training and education, as well as merchandising and promotion, professional standards and conduct, innovation and much more. The perfect example of those attributes came in the form of such past winners as Gatto’s Tires & Auto Service, headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the winner of the inaugural Top Shop Award in 2007; 2011 Top Shop winner Virginia Tire & Auto based in Fairfax, Virginia; and 2014 winner Flynn’s Tire & Auto Service of Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Roughly 90 tire dealers from across the United States and Canada entered the 2015 Top Shop Award program, and from that group judges narrowed the field down to 20 semifinalists. That group then underwent another level of judging before Top Shop judges selected the winner and three finalists.

Shiny Wheels and TPMS, continued from page 57 not hold up to the heat generated by the brakes and tires. The sensor will dislodge and bounce around the inside of the wheel. Do not try to seal the sensors in an airtight container to fool the system. These “TPMS pipe bombs” might work and might not work depending on the type of sensor and relearn procedure. Also, newer sensors have accelerometers that activate the sensor when the wheel is turning to save the battery. Without this type of motion, the sensors may not wake up properly and cause the TPMS light to come on.

Sensor Install Procedures

Clamp-on or snap-in valve stem TPMS sensors are pretty common for customer wheels, and the installation procedure for either is pretty straightforward. Most TPMS sensors are held in with just a screw or a nut, and if not assembled or torqued properly, there could be serious ramifications. Carelessness can result in a broken sensor or even a customer stranded with a flat tire. The torque tools required for installing TPMS sensors include: • Torque wrench that measures torque in inch-pounds. • Preset torque calibrated T10 screwdriver. • Preset valve stem torque tool. Anytime a clamp-on TPMS sensor is reused or replaced on a wheel, it is necessary to install new seals and valve stem nuts to ensure proper sealing around the sensor valve stem. 1. Wipe the area clean around the sensor/valve stem-mounting hole in the wheel. Make sure the surface of the wheel is not damaged, and any pieces of the old seal are removed so they don’t cause a slow leak. Do not lubricate or use a sealant in this area; this can change the torque values and cause you to snap the stem. You can attach the sensor with a kit that bands the sensor to the dropcenter of the wheel. 2. If the valve core is removed, it must be replaced with a new valve core in order to avoid galvanic corrosion, which may cause the sensor valve core to fail. 3. Insert the sensor through the wheel valve stem hole, keeping pressure against the rear of the metal valve stem. Mounting the sensor upside down can cause relearn and data transmission problems. Two grom-

mets seal the sensor and nut to the wheel; when the nut is torqued, the seal/grommet starts to take on the shape of the surfaces it is sealing against. If a seal is reused, it could cause a slow leak. Never reuse nuts. The nut is made of a softer metal than the sensor valve stem, so it will be damaged—and not the sensor—if it is overtightened. If the nut is overtightened, it will develop hairline cracks. The new nut may have coatings on the threads that prevent corrosion and leaks. Before tightening the sensor nut, push downward on the sensor housing in an attempt to make it fit flush with the interior contour of the wheel. Some clamp-on stems have the ability to change the angle of the sensor by loosening a fastener that holds the sensor on the stem. Other sensors should assume the correct position when the nut is torqued. 4. While holding the sensor in position, tighten the sensor nut with a torque wrench. Typical torque values for the base nuts on a TPMS valve stem range from as low as 35 in.-lb. of torque to as much as 80 in.-lb. depending on the sensor. Also, a replacement sensor may have a different torque value than the other sensors. Overtorquing the sensor nut by as little as 12 Nm (106 in.-lb.) may result in sensor separation from the valve stem. Leaks will not be eliminated by tightening the nut more. Sealing grommets are engineered to work at a specific torque. Any torque above the specified value will cause the seal to leak. Also, extra force may damage the nut or valve stem or fracture the sensor body.

Snap-in Sensors

Snap-in sensors can look like regular rubber valve stems, but the molded rubber on the snap-in valve stem does not reach the threads and there is a tapered shoulder. These valves have longer caps than nonTPMS valve stems.

SEMA Show Daily | #SEMA2015

Behind the stem is a mounting point for a self-tapping screw that holds the sensor to the stem. There are two installation methods depending on the type of snap-in valve stem you are installing. Always check the instructions or the manufacturer’s recommendation. Looped valve stems allow you to mount the TPMS sensor to a mounting hole on the back of the valve stem. The first method is installing the valve stem in the wheel and then attaching the sensor. The second method is to attach the sensor to the valve stem and then insert it into the wheel. Why? On some stems, the sensor could come in contact with the wheel as the stem is pulled with the sensor attached. When attaching a new valve to the sensor body, always use a preset torque screwdriver with the correct torx head or hex nut. Most tool suppliers package two preset torque drivers in a set. Due to different manufacturers, the torque settings may differ. The screw is self-tapping and can only be used once, and the same also applies to the stem. When tightening the screw, be mindful of stress on the sensor and the alignment of the sensor. Start the screw for the first couple of threads and make sure the sensor and stem are aligned. When performing the final tightening sequence, stop when the tool clicks indicate that the proper torque has been reached. Before installing the valve stem, it is acceptable to lubricate the seating surfaces with an approved tire lubricant. Lubricating the stem helps with the alignment of the sensor on the flats. When using a tire valve stem installation tool, pull the valve stem straight through the valve hole and not at an angle. Some valve stems have a tab on the body of the valve that can help in the alignment of the sensor. The rubber bulb of the valve should be resting against the rim and the sensor body should not be touching the rim for most applications.

• The Customer’s Reaction. When salespeople are afraid of what a customer might say, they end up losing sales opportunities because they don’t find out what the customer really wants. For example, what if the customer says, “Your price is too high.” It’s a knee-jerk reaction to offer a lower price. Instead, be proactive and try to uncover the unique buying criteria important to that customer so the price objection doesn’t come up in the first place. • Rushing to Judgment. As a salesperson, you should focus all of your attention on your customers and their needs. It’s all too easy to swoop in to present a solution instead of listening to your customer’s complaints and the specifics of the situation. In this rush to cut to the chase, your customer ends up feeling their input is unimportant and unappreciated. • Treating All Objections With the Same Approach. Some salespeople have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to dealing with customer objections. They may offer to lower their price or automatically throw in so-called “value added” extras. When you respond to objections with concessions, customers learn that whenever they complain, they’re rewarded. It’s better for both you and your customer if you listen to what your customer tells you, then go from there. Slowing down and listening when you reach a business-relationship speed bump works better in the long run than always trying to swerve around them. • Beating a Dead Horse. How do you know when, despite your best efforts, your customer relationship is beyond saving and, therefore, taking up more time than it’s worth? Maybe it’s when a customer is demanding, even confrontational, yet provides you with little to no business. Sometimes customers like this actually cost you money because you spend so much time trying to please them.


Benefits of Outsourcing Payroll Services As most tire dealers already realize, paying their employees involves much more than simply writing a check. Business owners must calculate tax payments; monitor hundreds of state and local jurisdictional requirements; and keep up with new-hire reporting; quarterly and annual tax returns; direct deposits; and issuing W-2s. With these complexities, more small companies are choosing to outsource their payroll to professionals who specialize in these tasks. Benefits of outsourcing payroll services include: • Cost savings: The Outsourcing Institute estimates that companies that outsource payroll experience a cost savings of at least 9%. • Time savings: According to the Small Business Administration, small-business owners spend approximately 35%–45% of their time handling personnel-related paperwork. That takes time away from your core activities—selling tires and managing your business. • Reduced liabilities: According to some estimates, small-business owners who do not outsource their payroll are fined an average of $845 per year by the IRS for inaccurate tax filing.

The Outsourcing Institute estimates that companies that outsource payroll experience a cost savings of at least 9%.

• Better service: Improve your employee recruiting and retention efforts by offering an array of payroll options, such as direct deposit. In fact, some payroll outsourcing companies offer additional ser-

vices, such as 401(k) and Section 125 plan administration, workers’ compensation, health insurance and COBRA/HIPPA compliance. Interestingly, small-business owners

can also outsource their payroll functions via web-based payroll programs that allow them to submit payroll at any time from any computer. Within approximately two days, the Internet-based payroll provider delivers the printed checks.

‘Helps me make better decisions’ “I think Tire Review’s Top Shop Awards and Platinum Performers, and all those businesses that are featured in those articles, provide insight to a business owner and help me make better decisions. The articles that are written, whether historical or looking ahead, help a tire dealer/ automotive repair shop stay competitive. And if they read the material and apply it, that’s the key. I think it can make a difference in their business and their business model.” “We were part of the Platinum Performer Awards last year. A great deal of time was spent gathering and submitting results from our business in order to have access to the collective benchmarks from all the participants. The reports are helping us identify our strengths and weaknesses in multiple areas of our business. Tire Review plays an instrumental role in helping the independent tire dealer move their business forward by providing timely and insightful information.”

American Force Expands Offerings, Acquires 360 Forged as Cultural Significance Continues to Drive Brand American Force, the parent company of the iconic American Force Wheels brand, is expanding its product offerings to include forged monostock and three-piece wheels for musclecars. As part of the company’s acquisition and growth strategy American Force recently acquired 360 Forged, a Miamibased manufacturer of forged wheels (terms of the agreement were not released). “The company’s current product lineup, their business model and commitment to manufacturing superior forged wheels for musclecars, both domestic and foreign, including late and early models, line up with our company’s business objectives and philosophy,” said Ray Shadravan, American Force owner and president. Shadravan continued, “It was the natural evolution of our company and brand to expand and answer the wishes of our customers who have been requesting we make wheels for cars. We chose muscle because it is also a natural step, after catering to the American truck market for the last decade. Our goal is to stay true to our American heritage.” 360 Forged will be re-branded American Force Muscle and will serve as the platform from which to launch the company’s new musclecar wheels.

Myers Tire Supply Introduces New Lightweight 3 Ton Aluminum Service Jack

The Newest Innovation in Tire Customization A trio of siblings living near Boulder, Colorado, discovered that the market for a tire paint pen was extremely limited, and those that were available simply did not live up to their promise: paint that did not stick to rubber; quality so poor that the paint would fall off or wilt in the sun; red paint that would become a pinkish rust in just a day; and white paint that disintegrated after one use! “We wanted a paint that worked and was worthy of gracing our tires.” So they set off to make their own tire paint. In 2012, after months of tinkering in the garage and dozens of tires later, Tire Penz LLC was born. Since 2012, demand has increased by 400%, and sales in the first few months of 2015 has shattered the ceiling on all previous numbers. Tire Penz is already a huge success in Japan, Russia, China and Colombia, and is now increasing distribution in the United States to supply more products to American customization enthusiasts! “Our mission from the start has always been to provide high-quality

Tire Penz is available in 10 colors.

products that our customers would be proud to put on their tires. Here at Tire Penz, we love the products we create and we think you will love them as well.” Whether you are painting sidewalls, or screaming your car or motorcycle down the highway in freshly painted treads, Tire Penz has you “covered.” Tire Penz features: • High quality, non-toxic formula. • Excellent durability against harmful UV rays, harsh elements and rigid road conditions. • Available in 10 vibrant colors as individual pens or as a kit. • REFLECT reflective coating.

Today’s automotive and light-truck service technicians are looking for products that are lightweight, faster to use and with an ergonomical design. At 54 lbs., the Myers Tire Supply 3 Ton Aluminum Service Jack is lightweight, raises to full height in five pumps and features a two-piece padded handle for easy storage. Myers Tire Supply Distribution Inc., is a nationwide distributor of tools, equipment and supplies to tire, wheel and undercar service professionals.

ARMO Welcomes Todd McClure to the Select Committee Todd McClure is ARMO’s newest select committee member. While it is his first time serving in this capacity, he brings a unique perspective to the group. McClure shared a little bit about himself and his goals.

ARMO Select Committee member Todd McClure.

SEMA Member News: What is your industry background? Todd McClure: Every summer during high school and college, I worked at The Right Stuff, programming CNC tube benders to make tubes for classic cars. I also was lucky enough to travel to a lot of automotive events to promote products. So I have been involved in the restoration market for nearly 20 years now, and I have never stopped enjoying the people and the cars. SMN: Why do you feel that it’s important to serve on the select committee?

TM: I see a lot of value in ARMO companies sharing experiences and information that will advance the interests of the industry as a whole. I want to be sure to contribute to restoration not only continuing but also growing in the years to come.

SMN: How might your experience benefit ARMO? TM: I have worked in manufacturing, purchasing, sales and marketing, promoting both retail and wholesale sales. So I think I have a strong understanding of all facets of business in the restoration market. I hope to learn from current and past council members about progress with existing programs while helping to promote new programs to entice younger men and women to get involved in the hobby of restoration.

AMP Research PowerStep XL Steer Smarts Griffin Series JK Steering Attenuator

AMP Research has added a new model to its lineup of PowerStep electric deployable running boards. The PowerStep XL features an additional 3-in. of drop compared to standard PowerStep boards, which makes them ideal for lifted vehicles. This 3-in. drop comes courtesy of an integrated aluminum rail that not only looks great, but also offers additional durability when the steps are retracted. The PowerStep XL also features easy installation with hassle-free plug-and-play wiring. Simply attach the boards and plug the wiring harness into the vehicle’s OBD-II port. The PowerStep XL allows easier entry and exit of lifted trucks, yet still retracts and stows neatly along the vehicle’s rocker panels. Already an award winner, the PowerStep XL won Best New Exterior Accessory at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas where it was first shown to the public. Like other PowerStep models, the PowerStep XL features an integrated LED light system for excellent low-light visibility. The rails are constructed of sturdy 6063 marinegrade aluminum and wear an attractive, corrosion-resistant black

For extra strength, the boards’ components are made from die-cast aluminum alloy with an anodized PTFE-coated (polytetrafluoroethylene) military-spec finish for excellent corrosion resistance. Precision stainless-steel pivot pins ensure rock-solid stability with a 600lb. capacity, and maintenance-free, self-lubricating bushings ensure years of all-weather performance. Invented, engineered, and built in the U.S.A., these premium boards are backed by a five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty.

Focusing on enhancing trail safety and utility, M.O.R.E. also teamed up with ARB and designed an under-hood mounting bracket for the ARB CKMTA12 Twin Motor/ Dual Cylinder On-Board Air Compressor. Designed to fit ’96–’06 Jeep Wrangler TJs, the M.O.R.E. bracket (PN ARB97) even fits the sPOD unit.

M.O.R.E.’s innovative and unique Hide-A-Step has made it easier than ever to get into largetire-equipped Jeeps and Ford, Chevy or GMC trucks.

Most recently, M.O.R.E. announced the release of an oil pan and transmission combination skid plate for ’96–’06 Jeep Wrangler TJs. Manufactured from 3/16-in.-thick steel with a 1/4-in. plate on the mounting arms, and powdercoated black, M.O.R.E.’s newest skid plate (PN: TJOPSP) protects the TJ’s vulnerable exhaust system cross-over tube that would otherwise get crushed during spirited off-roading.

New Bowless Soft Tops for ’07-’16 Jeep Wrangler JK Rugged Ridge, a leading manufacturer of high-quality Jeep parts and accessories, announced its new Bowless Soft Top for ’07–’16 Jeep Wrangler JK two-door and fourdoor Unlimited models. The distinctive, fully enclosed design allows Jeep owners to quickly and easily switch between traditional full-top and Savannah-top configurations. The Rugged Ridge Bowless Soft Top completely eliminates the bulky factory soft-top frame by allowing a snug fit over the factory roll bar for a more aerodynamic “fastback” look, while effectively providing an airtight enclosure. This is accomplished while retaining the stock door surrounds and tailgate bar. The design also allows Jeep owners to use a variety of aftermarket windshield headers, including Rugged Ridge’s steel windshield channel. The Bowless Soft Top is equipped with high-density foam-covered whisper bars for additional support and structure, and dramatically reduces wind and road noise commonly associated with other frameless soft-top designs. Inside, the top features a pair of zippered mesh corner pockets for added interior storage for maps

and any other items needed for off-road adventure. The Bowless top features the same durable construction as all other Rugged Ridge soft tops, with reinforced stitching on heavy-duty “pull areas,” vinyl-coated polyester and cotton fabric and 30-mil-thick DOTapproved 31% tinted windows. All sewn seams use marine-grade thread, ensuring it does not deteriorate or discolor from the sun. “We wanted to raise the bar in bowless and frameless JK soft-top design by creating a more affordable, quieter and better fitting top, which is something that hasn’t been seen until now,” said Patrick Bennett, product development manager at Omix-ADA. “We couldn’t be more proud to add this to our already impressive lineup of soft tops.”

The Hitch That Saves Lives! Measures Tongue Weight and Ensures Proper Towing

Pressure on the Weigh Safe tow ball sends a reading to the built-in scale that measures tongue weight (lb.) GMC guidelines for proper towing states tongue weight should be no less than 10% of gross trailer weight (GTW) and no more than 15%. For example, tongue weight for a 10,000-lb. trailer should be no less than 1,000 lbs. and no more than 1,500 lbs.

What Is Tongue Weight and What Does It Mean for Safe Towing?

Tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer exerts on the hitch that is connected to the vehicle. Too little tongue weight can cause the back end of the vehicle to lift, which can result in a very dangerous condition known as trailer sway. Too much tongue weight can cause the back end of the vehicle to sag, which negatively impacts the handling of the vehicle, the visibility of the driver, and the effectiveness of the vehicle’s brakes.

The Importance of Tongue Weight

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch effectively measures the tongue weight of your towing load, ensuring that your vehicle is balanced properly and is safe to tow. Injuries, fatalities and loss of property are all preventable by ensuring proper tongue weight. For more information, visit. www.weigh-safe.com.

Pritzer during a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. Though the award has roots dating back to World War II for recognizing companies that made significant contributions to the war effort, President Kennedy revived the “E” award in 1961 with the statement “more exports will mean a stronger America…and the greater assurance of a free world.” Rigid Industries and 45 other honorees collectively contributed more than $2 billion in export revenue last year, which in turn supported 11.7 million jobs in the private sector—a record high. Rigid has experienced explosive growth over the past 10 years, thanks to steady advancements in technol-

ogy and the proven efficiencies of LED lighting. Beyond the automotive industry, Rigid designs and develops products for nine different industries, including agriculture, marine, emergency response, mining, military and construction. A significant portion of Rigid’s growth was realized in exporting its innovative lighting products to more than 45 different countries. Rigid distributes marketing literature in multiple languages and its website supports 90 different languages. A key factor in the “E” Award includes noteworthy export promotional efforts. “It is a great honor to be a recipient of the 2015 President’s ‘E’ Award and to see the commitment to our company by our customers around the world,” said Jason Christiansen, CEO of Rigid Industries. “We’re committed to U.S. jobs and are proud to have every department from customer service, production, warranty, QC to engineering all together here in Arizona. We are always trying to push the envelope on new technologies with innovation and quality being our core principles.” In February 2015, Rigid Industries announced its acquisition by TruckLite Co. LLC of Falconer, New York, a member of the PENSKE Corp. Together, Rigid and Truck-Lite offer the complete package of DOT, offroad and accessory LED lighting for not only on- and off-road vehicular markets, but markets the world over in a wide variety of heavy-duty and commercial vehicle categories.
