And we use very high-quality LEDs. We are not the least expensive on the market, but we try to make a good quality product that's going to last." PSB: If you're not the least expensive prod- uct on the market, what makes your product worth the higher price tag? MB: "A brighter LED. We take extra steps. We put short-circuit protection on a lot of our modules; that's something we've been com- ing out with. We make sure that everything is waterproof, that everything is sealed, that it's quality. We use a high-grade tape for the things that mount with 3M tape."

It also cleans valves, sticky rings and the combustion chamber. Carbon Free can be added to the fuel system on a regular basis, especially prior to storage to ensure like-new run quality in any 2- or 4-cycle engine, including BRP Rotax engines. One ounce treats one gallon of fuel. Suggested Retail Price — $8.99 Contact — www.brp.com HIGH LIFTER GEAR LIFT Specifications — High Lifter Products Inc. has launched its newest line of lift kits for side-by-sides: the Gear Lift. The bolt-on Gear Lift uses a portal box at the wheel hub, moving the axle center line up 4 inches, providing lift and clearance under the axle center. The Gear Lift maintains factory suspension and angles, eliminating the need for aftermarket axle upgrades. Benefits — This kit provides a 1:1.4 gear reduc- tion, which is about 30 percent. It consists of three 1-inch wide, heat-treated steel gears that increase torque and regain horsepower that's often lost with the addition of a big lift and larger tires. By multiply- ing torque at the wheel, the Gear Lift reduces the amount of torque that is transferred through the CV axle shafts, differential and other drivetrain and sus- pension components, according to High Lifter. The kit is available for the Polaris Ranger 800, Ranger 900, RZR 800, RZR 1000 and the Can-Am Com- mander 1000 and Maverick 1000, with additional models coming in the future.
