Editor’s Letter

very fall, as we prepare for the final issue of the year for Sportsman’s Gear magazine, we are witnessing the changing of the seasons and preparing for a trip to SEMA in Las Vegas. The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world (PLEASE NOTE: THE SEMA SHOW IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC). It draws the industry’s brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of the AAIW, the SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, powersports, and RV markets. SEMA Show 2011 drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers. After SEMA, we will be approaching the holidays - the perfect time of year to be checking out new products for the person on your Christmas list that wants to deck out a truck or likes to tailgate! We have an entire section on tailgating in this issue - see page 18. Also check out our cover story about Dee Zee. It’s a great article about the new connection between the longstanding manufacturing and Invis-A-Rack, the revolutionary ladder rack system that transforms from invisible to invaluable in seconds. Enjoy this new season, share your magazine with someone else when you’re done, and have a happy holiday season! Until next time, Becky J. Beall

ave you ever wished you had two trucks – one for work and one for play? Sometimes it’s hard to hand the keys to the valet at the fancy steak house knowing the bulky ladder rack on your pickup will stick out like a sore thumb. Dee Zee can help with Invis-A-Rack, the revolutionary ladder rack system that transforms from invisible to invaluable in seconds. The patented design makes it virtually disappear when folded down and not in use. And when you need it, a series of lockable arms and supports snaps into place and is ready to go in under a minute – literally. It’s not just a ladder rack. It’s a canoe hauler. Or for any longer item you need to haul while freeing up the truck bed for other gear. The strong aluminum construction means it will hold up to 500 lbs. and because it folds down when not in use, it’s the most fuel-efficient rack on the market today. And don’t worry about poking a ton of holes in your pickup. Invis-A-Rack installs easily without drilling. Part numbers are available in three sizes: 5.5’, 6’+6.5’, and 8’ beds. The engineering is the same but the two longer styles benefit from an integrated bungee box, perfect for straps, cords or other smaller tools. The powder coated finish means no rust and easy cleanup. The story of Invis-A-Rack starts in the garage of North Carolina entrepreneur 8

H

and Navy veteran of the Gulf War Donny McCall. He found a way to make ladder racks useful when you need them and also when you don’t. He began production and quickly discovered demand was outpacing supply. So he looked for help with an appearance on ABC’s “Shark Tank,” a show on which inventors ask for financial assistance from a panel of venture capitalists. Mr. McCall made an emotional pitch to the panel only to be told no by the panel. Each said it would be much more profitable to make Invis-A-Rack overseas but Donny stuck by his guns and said he would never take production from the United States. He walked out of the studio empty handed except for his ideals and patriotism. Fast forward to June of 2012 when Dee Zee reached out and struck up a deal to take over production, marketing and distribution of Invis-A-Rack in their facilities in Des Moines, Iowa. No stranger to American manufacturing, Dee Zee is proud of the fact that 95% of all products they sell are made in the United States. That includes tool boxes, running boards, bed protection as well as most of their tubular nerf steps. Dee Zee will be launching this exciting new product at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas in late October at which time they’ll be ready to ship. SG

No matter where your offroad adventures may take you, there is a pretty good chance you’ll find some beautifully crafted, off-road rigs there, built by Tanner 4x4! They specialize in custom hand-built, one off, rock crawlers, mud trucks, and desert race trucks and buggies. They pride themselves on being able to create high-end off-road vehicles that the average off-road enthusiast can afford. Sure you will see their vehicles in the pages of many off-road magazines with

T

other super expensive show rigs, but they are most proud of the rigs you see on the trails and competitions doing what they build their trucks for..... performing! After nearly 40 years of leading and pushing the boundaries of the off-road world, they are still just as passionate as ever about building new trucks, and expanding the limits of the motorsports world! Even though there are only a small handful of builders and fabricators in the country that are capable of building the quality of off-road vehicles and buggies that they specialize in, they realize that customers do have a choice in who builds their offroad rigs. With all the high-performance parts available to everyone, they believe knowledge and service is what makes the biggest difference to customers. Their motto has always been “give us a try, and we’ll make you glad you did!”

Over the years Tanner 4X4 has maintained that personal and professional, one-on-one, service feel. They want their customers to feel like they have a friend in the 4x4 business that will help them make good decisions on what products they need and give them good, honest advice on service and repair needs. All of their employees are hunters, fishermen, campers, hikers, 4wheelers, motorcycle riders, and general outdoor enthusiasts, so when you call them for advice on a new product or information on anything pertaining to off-roading, you will not only be working with a professional in the field, but you will also be working with someone who is just as passionate about the outdoors as you are. They know without you, the customer, there is no them, so you will always be treated the way you want to be treated at Tanner 4x4. Count on it! No matter what you need for your Jeep, Toyota, tow rig or buggy, Tanner 4X4 can get you fixed up with fair prices, good advice, and honest service. Maybe you need a complete rig.... they can do that as well. They buy and sell used 4x4’s and off-road rigs all the time. Customers who are looking for used 4x4 equipment from tires and wheels to winches, all the way to complete vehicles, can find what they are looking for at Tanner 4x4 and Rocky Mountain Xtreme Motorsports.

If you’re not local to the Colorado Springs area, don’t worry about it. They are happy to ship any products anywhere in the world from basic builder parts for the doit-yourselfer, like rod ends and tabs, to full turn-key buggies. They are only a phone call away at 719-475-8057 or shoot them an e-mail at [email protected]. SG

2012 Volkswagen Tiguan SE w/Sunroof & Navigation Fuel Economy: 22/27 Class: SUVs Base Price: $30,525 The new Tiguan is here. An SUV with design parallels to the larger Touareg. An SUV with powerful and at the same time fuel-efficient engines; fuel consumption is 5.3 litres per 100 km for the two front-wheel drive Tiguans 2.0 TDI with BlueMotion Technology (81 kW / 110 PS and 103 kW / 140 PS). An SUV that shuts off the engine completely whenever possible in city driving thanks to a Stop/Start system. An SUV that is an ideal, versatile companion for life on the move with its excellent all-round characteristics, great practicality, 1,510 litres cargo space, up to 2,500 kg trailer load (with 4MOTION all-wheel drive) and many cleverly designed features. A Volkswagen in the best sense of the word!

2012 Land Rover LR4 Fuel Economy: 12/17 Class: SUVs Base Price: $48,900 The LR4 has a highly refined, contemporary presence on the road. The vehicle has an instantly recognizable, smart modern exterior, outstanding levels of craftsmanship inside and an advanced engine. This allterrain vehicle is the perfect combination of both style and capability. Why own a car when you can own a Land Rover? 22

2012 Range Rover Evoque Coupe Fuel Economy: 18/28 Class: SUVs Base Price: $44,145 Twelve months ago, when the first vehicle rolled off the production line, the Evoque had already generated an exceptional market response with more than 18,000 advance orders from customers worldwide. This interest continues today with demand for the Evoque driving sales of almost 80,000 units in just nine months. With more than 110 global awards under its belt, the Evoque has gained critical acclaim from customers and media alike. Crowned Top Gear Magazine Car of the Year, World Design Car of the Year and North American Truck of the Year amongst others, the Evoque continues to receive plaudits for its concept car looks, dynamic driving performance, class leading off-road skills and excellent cost of ownership.

2012 Infiniti QX56 4WD Fuel Economy: 14/20 Class: SUVs Base Price: $61,800 The Infiniti QX56 full-size luxury SUV might be best known for its leather-trimmed, 7 passenger interior and technological advances like the world’s first Around View™ Monitor, but its real claim to fame could be its powerful, 400-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 engine and 8,500 pound towing capacity. Offering strong low-end torque, smooth operation throughout the entire RPM range and peak torque of 413 lb-ft, the Infiniti QX certainly has “power to go, power to tow” credentials in spades. Now, in a unique twist on putting the cart before the horse, Infiniti has embarked on a one off project to add QX power to what’s being towed – a boat modified around a QX engine and designed with the luxury, performance and craftsmanship of its flagship SUV.

Industry News
After extensive changes for 2012 including updated exterior styling, an enhanced interior, additional features on selected models, and an EPA fuel economy-rating2 improvement, the Insight continues unchanged for 2013. The 2013 Honda Insight remains the most affordable hybrid for sale in the U.S., and pricing is unchanged for 2013, starting at $18,5003. The 2013 Insight goes on sale September 18. The 2013 Insight is offered in three models. The value-oriented base model is simply designated as Insight, and is well equipped with a 160-watt audio system, automatic climate control, power windows, and more. The Insight LX adds a USB audio interface, cruise control, armrest console, floor mats, security system and steering-wheel mounted audio controls. The Insight EX adds alloy wheels, six-speaker audio system, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®, automatic headlights and a leatherwrapped steering wheel. The Insight EX is also available with the Honda SatelliteLinked Navigation System4 with voice recognition and rearview camera. Powertrain A Honda Integrated Motor Assist™ (IMA™) system powers the Insight. Comprised of a 1.3-liter i-VTEC® gasoline 4-cylinder engine and a 10-kilowatt electric motor, the combination develops 98 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 123 lb-ft. of torque at 1000-1700 rpm. To maximize fuel efficiency, friction-reducing measures are used throughout the engine and the transmission. Fully automatic in operation, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is an advanced unit that substitutes the gears found in more traditional transmissions and replaces them with a metal push-belt running between a pair of variable-width pulleys. Combined with the Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system, the CVT constantly adjusts to provide the most efficient drive ratio possible depending on torque load. Honda’s CVT provides better fuel efficiency and acceleration when compared to a conventional transmission. On EX models, the steering wheel includes paddle shifters, which allow manually shifting though a range of seven fixed ratios for a sporty driving experience. The Insight comes equipped with fuel-efficiency enhancement technology called Eco Assist™. A push of the dashmounted ECON button modifies throttle control, CVT operation, idle-stop duration, air conditioning and cruise-control operation (if so equipped) to minimize energy use and increase fuel efficiency. A sophisticated feedback system uses ambient color behind the speedometer to indicate overall driving efficiency. An Eco Display provides feedback on braking and acceleration. Plus, Eco Score provides ongoing support of an efficient driving style. Body The Insight was given significant updates for the 2012 model year, including a more distinctive grille design with a blue accent bar representing the Insight’s high-tech hybrid identity. To improve aerodynamic performance, the strakes ahead of the front wheels were extended by 0.4 inches to better direct air around the front tires. The shape of the engine bay underbody cover was also fine-tuned, and air diffusers were added under the rear bumper to smooth airflow behind 60

the vehicle. The changes combined to net a 2-percent increase in aerodynamic performance. Chassis The Insight rides on MacPherson strut front suspension, combined with a torsionbeam rear suspension that helps maximize interior space. Electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion power steering (EPS) offers predictable and linear steering feel, while also saving fuel compared to traditional hydraulic systems that put a greater load on the engine. With its 36.1foot turning diameter, the Insight offers good maneuverability in congested urban settings. Insight and Insight LX models have 15-inch stamped-steel wheels with wheel covers and the Insight EX has 15inch alloy wheels. Interior The Insight’s roomy interior offers comfortable seating for up to five passengers. Versatility is a key Insight strong point, and the 60/40 split rear seatbacks fold down to create a large 31.5 cubic-foot cargo space and make it easy to mix passengers and cargo.

Advanced instrumentation gives the Insight an upscale look, and provides the driver with key information at a glance. A large digital speed display is positioned high in the instrument cluster, close to

the driver’s sightline and easy to see. The convenient Multi-Information Display (MID) allows quick access to a range of useful information with convenient steering-wheel mounted c o n t r o l s .

Automatic climate control is standard on all grades. The Insight LX has premium seat fabric, while the Insight EX is upholstered with a combination of synthetic leather and premium fabric. Available on Insight EX models, the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition4 includes a rearview camera and provides routing and guidance to individual addresses and more than 7-million points of interest within the continental United States. With its 16-GB memory system, it offers fast route calculation and includes FM traffic, a subscription-free service that alerts drivers to traffic conditions. Safety Standard safety features on all Insight models include dual-stage, multiplethreshold front airbags, front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), sidecurtain airbag system, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution (EBD), driver’s and front-passenger’s active head restraints, and a front body structure designed to help mitigate pedestrian injuries. The Insight also features Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which provides improved occupant protection and crash compatibility between vehicles of different sizes and ride heights in frontal crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the Insight a “2012 Top Safety Pick.” IIHS rates vehicles on performance in front and side crash tests, a rollover test, and evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. To earn a 2012 Top Safety Pick rating, a vehicle must have good results (the highest possible) in all four Institute tests. Manufacturing and Awards The Insight is manufactured by Honda in Suzuka, Japan. Though the Insight features advanced hybrid technology, that doesn’t mean it takes a lot of money to buy or maintain one. The Honda Insight received a 2012 Total Cost of Ownership Award from Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. With its low starting price, excellent fuel mileage and exceptional Honda reliability, the Insight is a great value.
