where we get to showcase and show alot of people you got a man and speakingof new products we got something specialright here the new gen 3 winch tell me alittle about this thing manwell obviously everyone knows about thesmittybilt wench right 95 winch it isit's a mainstay in our industry surewhat we need to do is now now it's timeto elevate it but still keeping thefantastic price points yeah some of theelevation we did let's get straight tothe pointyeah I'm sweet to the point is when youlook at a jeep phone down the road yousee a beautiful bumper you also see abeautiful Winchester it's one of thefirst things you see yep so not only dowe build a lot of functions on this wegot to make sure we build in some styleoh yeahsure first in the industry to providearmor for winch so this is elevated uplet you know what it looks like rightwent when you were to remove it yep andwhen you install that it'll go rightdown here over the motor yepso what this allows a Jeep owner to doif you think about it and in the winchindustry yeah it's probably well thelast component that you can customizefor you everyone loves to customizetheir jeeps sure I don't think there'sever two jeeps identical other now onthe dealership yeah but what does itallows you to review is to take thearmor off sure and then you get toeither color match or contrast yourvehicle sure bolt it back on yeah itallows us also the downline to do somespecial additions with some specialcoloring also into that againenhancing the look and appeal of it yepyeah one of the other things I noticedhere tell me about this winch remoteover here this is pretty pretty radicallooking oh yeah radical is what we'reshooting yeah and one of the things wewanted to make sure that a lot ofconsumers see is we got this from thepower tool industry if you think aboutitwhat's what's more intuitive and then apower tools you have here in ya outpower yeah instead of having and togglesyou go back and forth that you may behitting the wrong way right this is getstremely intuitive yeah we have a buttonhere for a light that will come on usalso magnetic so as you can see on anysurface you can just mount it so we'rehere with bolt checking out some oftheir brand new accessories for the JeepWrangler jail these guys have beenmaking some great locking accessoriesfor the Wrangler for a number of yearsnow some great things

they arefeaturing their bright green Slimerbuild in here belonging to Dennis thatmojito green two-door jail with some ofthese great new products on it I randown the line real quick they've gotsome fantastic new Alpine control armsyou're calling them as their Alpine IRwhich stands for infinite rotation thosethings are super flexy they're going todo a great job out on the trail theyalso have a brand new geometrycorrection drop bracket for thosecontrol arms that does really welloffroad they've got some brand new bigbrakes featuring 14-inch rotors and fourPistons talked about stopping

carrying oversized tires alsofeatures an extended mount for yourfactory backup camera so that you canstill see past those large tires andit's got a really cool quick-release onthat third brake light and one of thethings that really caught my eye howeverin the booth here is their brand newNomad wheel this is a 17 inch wheel withsome features that I've never seen builtright into a wheel you're gonna noticeright off the bat we've got two redknobs on this wheel well one of them issimply a cap that's protecting astandard valve stem however the otherone is a quick deflator built right intothe wheel you can preset that orwhatever pressure you decide down to 10psi and by simply turning that knob it'sgoing to air your tires down by the timeyou make it around the vehicle you'regonna be aired down and ready to hit thetrails this is a 17 inch wheel it'savailable in a couple different finishesand it also has this really great rockrash ring that's a heavy duty plastic onhere it's dyed all the way through soeven if you scuff this thing up on therocks it's still going to look great ifyou go as far is totally destroying thiswell all the pieces of this wheel areavailable individually as well so youcan replace those rings as you need itoverall totally blown away by everythingbrand new here from Tara flex we'regoing to keep making our way around theshow bringing you all these great newproducts[Music]here in the Daystar booth we arechecking out a couple new productsthey've got for the Jeep Wrangler JK butthey're not good just for the JK theyare a universal part available as wellbut what we've got here is the completeradio package for your JK consisting ofa 25 watt gmrs radio as well as anadditional 5 watt handheld 2-way gmrsradio of course if you're not familiarwith GES similar to CB but it's atwo-way radio system and it actuallytransmit a lot cleaner clearer signaleasier to hear and talk and with havingthe handheld radio and the base radiofor your Jeep it's a great way tocommunicate with your spotter whenthey're outside of your Jeep or maybeeven a Jeep that's following behind youon the trail so the thing that I reallylike about this setup here is thatDaystar is not only providing you withthe radio but also with a mountingsolution designed to put the radio upabove your every mirror between yourvisor that also even incorporates fouradditional rocker switches here so thatyou can wire up some additionalaccessories in your Jeep you're gonnaget everything you need to get thatmounted up you're also going to get theantenna and the bracket for the side ofthe Jeep but they didn't stop there theyhave this all available on a cart aswell so if you've got an older Jeep ormaybe even a newer Jeep like a WranglerJL well you can purchase just the baseradio by itself and just the handheldradio by its up and come up with yourown mounting solution awesome new radiosright here from Daystar we're here inthe JW speaker booth with something veryexciting guys there's been a lot of newstuff around the show today a lot ofstuff has really impressed me I tell youwhat man this is over-the-topthis is the brand new 8700 Evolution j-3headlight from JW speaker not just forthe jail not just for the JK this thingis going to be able to go into any seveninch round housing speaking of that newJL well I got a little glimpse JWspeaker is working on an adapter ring toget this into the jail very soon butlet's start with the features that wegot in the light right here we have twoversions of it there are going to be twoversions available one standard and onewith a heated lens now one of the firstthings you're going to notice when youlook at these lights they feature anasymmetric design so theyleft and right lens here they're notusing one headlight and just putting iton both sides of the vehicle and whatthat allows them to do is customize andtailor the light output of this so thatyou get the best light out on the roadand the trail now this looks likenothing we've ever seen before there areover the 35 LEDs packed into this thingwith a number of different functionsyou got your high beam your low beam youhave a daytime running light you'll alsohave an integrated turn signal and allof those are 100% street-legal nowbeyond that they've also built in atrail function so we can start here withsome output numbers they've increasedthe output of the high beam over theprevious generation headlight by 50% nowthe output on the low beam they bumpthat up by 75% those are impressivenumbers they've also built in Bluetoothtechnology into these things and thatallows you to take these headlights to awhole new level by activating thatBluetooth app you can put these lightsinto an off-road mode where you can bumpup the light output to 100% across theboard to give you the most light outputon the trail and that will activate yourtrail optics here giving you great lightoutput right in the front of your Jeepthe only way to do that is right throughthe Bluetooth app now what you can alsodo with that app is move some of thepower around in the headlight so you canbump up the power to your high beamthrowing that light farther down thetrail in front of you if you're crawlingat a lower speed you can bump that powerdown to the low beam giving you greatwide output in front of your vehiclethere's also like I mentioned a daytimerunning light function in here and partof that is a great start up sequence andthat allows you to just kind of createsome fun startup sequences here getpeople to notice your Jeep of coursethey've also built in that great turnsignal and by doing that they've openedup a whole world of possibilities notonly to other manufacturers creating newfender flares for the JL but also withthe JK Wrangler you can now remove thosestock turn signals in the grille andreplace those with their all-new trailsix light there are three versions ofthat light available they have theirstandard trail six light and that isgoing to give you the most light outputavailable you can step up to theversion of that light which incorporatesagain that great Bluetooth technologyallows you to customize the output ofthat light and even allows you to switchfrom a white to an amber light both ofthose versus the lights come with threedifferent interchangeable lensesallowing you even further customizationand like I mentioned they will boltright into the factory grille on your JKWrangler or of course you can use theuniversal style bracket to mount them upon the a-pillar the bumper reallywherever you choose they even haveanother version of that light moredesigned for the off-road industry highspeed power sports to be mounted on theback of a vehicle it would be a greataddition to the back end of yourWrangler if you're doing
