Originally developed by B&M for racing applications, Trick Shift automatic transmission fluid is now the most popular high-performance fluid on the street too! Not an additive, Trick Shift comprises a scientific blend of foam inhibitors, pressure agents, and shift modifiers that will provide extended transmission life and drastically improve shift feel.

Trick Shift is the easiest way to measurably improve the transmission performance of your vehicle. It works with all automatic transmissions when a firmer shift is desired. Ideal for towing light trucks and RV applications as well (but not recommended for electronic-controlled transmissions).

B&M 80260 contains 1 gallon of Trick Shift fluid.

Features

  • Desirable firmer shift.
  • Ideal for performance street and racing applications.
  • NOT an additive!

It’s all about stealth with Rigid Industry’s new Midnight Optics. Leveraging the company’s exclusive Hybrid Spot Optics with a transparent black enamel coating, these products take the subtle “blacked out” look seriously, from black-oxide hardware and dark-gray screen print to black embossed bezel logos. Midnight Optics let these Rigid lights “disappear” during the day while still providing powerful LED technology to light up the night.

Midnight has fallen on Rigid’s SR-Series light bars (6”, 10”, 20”, 30”, 40”, and 50” lengths) and D-Series flush-mount pods (sold as singles and in pairs). All feature high-grade aluminum alloy housing and a durable, UV polyester powdercoat.

Features

  • Creates that hot “blacked out” look.
  • Hybrid Spot Optics with transparent black enamel coating.
  • Complementary black-oxide hardware, dark-gray screen print, and black embossed logos.
  • High-grade aluminum alloy housing.
  • Durable, UV-resistant powdercoat.

The new BedTred Ultra system from BedRug is a four-piece zipped liner that installs with hook-and-loop fasteners to avoid damaging your truck bed. Similar to the material used in life preservers, this product’s 3/4”-thick foam is strong enough to resist battery acid, motor oil, and bleach. Plus, it won’t absorb water, helping it stay free of mold and mildew. The Ultra is ideal for hauling equipment for work or play, with a snug, custom, contoured fit that protects your entire truck bed. Fade-resistant design provides lasting good looks, while the foldable tailgate gap won’t crimp your style.

If you are looking for an ultra-tough bed liner that won’t damage your truck, isn’t permanent, and won’t lower your resale value, BedRug’s BedTred Ultra is for you!

Features

  • TPO composite surface provides superior dent protection.
  • Heavy-duty, 3/4” textured, anti-skid work surface.
  • Provides dent protection and a cushioned, knee-friendly surface.

Trucks Also to Benefit SEMA Cares Charities through Pinewood Drag Race Event

The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, bought and built three pinewood derby trucks to benefit the SEMA Cares charitable organization. The trucks, each sponsored by one of AAM’s retail marketing programs, were raced alongside other entrants in the Pinewood Derby that was held directly before the SEMA Installation Banquet & Gala Fundraiser last Friday in Pomona, Calif.

In a special tie-in, AAM dedicated each of the trucks to one of this year’s three new SEMA Hall of Fame inductees: Matt Agosta, Chip Foose, and Gary Hooker. The truck numbers—07, 29, and 16—commemorated the date of the event. Agosta, Foose, and Hooker were on hand to run their trucks down the track, and were presented with them afterward to additionally recognize their contributions to the industry.

“AAM has long supported the SEMA Pinewood Derby and the charities it benefits,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “This year we saw a great opportunity to use our cars to further recognize some of our industry’s heroes on our cars, as the derby coincides with their recognition. We had a great deal of fun with the design and build and hope the cars added a little color to the event.”

Special Markets and Program Sales Manager Greg Griffith and his son, Adam, will be representing The AAM Group™ at the premiere 36 Hours of Uwharrie event being contested in Troy, North Carolina. Fans can follow the action on Twitter (#driverenough) and Facebook (/36uwharrie).

Starting today and running through August 14, the BFGoodrich-sponsored overland endurance event tests the skills of competitors as they attempt to negotiate difficult terrain, navigate to specific GPS coordinates, and complete a variety of skill-based objectives. These two-person challenges—which include canoeing, shooting, self-recovery winching, Hi-Lift Jacks, and more—earn points that can push participants through to the Final Assault. Prize packages include BFGoodrich tires, event-engraved firearms, and winches.

“AAM is proud of Greg and his involvement in this very challenging four-wheel-drive event,” said AAM President Tim Odom. “He and Adam embody our many retailers in the 4×4 market as well as their customers, who depend on the very best aftermarket accessories to help them meet their backcountry challenges. Greg’s passion for all things off-road has earned him the respect of our membership and our vendor community. The AAM community will be cheering on the Griffiths this weekend.”
