Wheeling into 2011 with Rugged Rocks

Happy New Year from Rugged Rocks! We’re kicking off 2011 after a move to South Lake Tahoe, CA over the holidays! After getting a few feet of snow we’re still getting settled in and back into our regular routine of doing business. Due to the recent storms, we’ve had a delay in getting consistent phone and internet services up and running, but it’s expected that we’ll have the issues worked out in the next week or so. Besides the issues with utilities, we’re really looking forward to a killer 2011 being that we’ve got great new products coming right around the corner. We’re now just a stones throw away from some of the greatest wheeling in the country which includes but isn’t limited to the famous Rubicon Trail. Not only does this give us a place to play, but a great area to test new products.

Speaking of testing products, we’re looking to putting together a small team of people we’ll be referring to as the ‘Rugged Rocks Rough Riders’ Continue reading “Wheeling into 2011 with Rugged Rocks”

New Products Update – 3.3L Headers, Chromoly Axle Shafts, TX-10 Doubler

Doug Thorley 3.3L Xterra / Frontier Headers
It’s been a few months since we rolled the first Xterra into Doug Thorley for building the prototype headers. Now the first batch of headers are now getting ceramic coated. They should be back early next week and all pre-orders will be shipped shortly after. There are only a few more sets of headers still available from this first run, so if you’re looking to immediately replace your old under performing factory manifolds you can place your order here: Nissan 3.3L Xterra / Frontier Headers

We haven’t forgotten about the Super Charged 3.3 and we’ll be doing test fitting very soon.
31-Spline H233B Chromoly Axle Shafts
It’s no secret that deep crawler gears and oversize tires lead to more stress on your vehicles drive train. With the growing number of deep gearing options available for your Nissan 4×4, the chances of drive train breakage are drastically increasing. Luckily we have chromoly axle shafts on the way for the Nissan Pathfinders and Hardbody’s running the 31-spline H233B rear axle. We should have them in hand ready to ship in about 6 weeks. You can reserve a set by ordering here: Pathfinder / Hardbody Chromoly Axle Shafts
TX-10 Transfer Case Doubler
We’re adding to the lineup of options to get that deep crawl ratio you’re been looking for. It won’t be long before we open up pre-orders for the TX-10 Transfer Case Doubler. We will need 10 pre-orders with a 50% deposit, the other 50% due when the complete doubler adapters are ready to ship. We’re looking at about a $950 price range for the doubler adapter and about 12 weeks time between pre-orders and delivery. We’ll have more details in a few weeks.

Thanks for taking a look at this weeks new product newsletter. I’ll have more info on more products next week.
