<-LIFTING THE NEW RANGER
ICON Vehicle Dynamics has wasted no time—the
company already built a complete suspension for the
all-new ’19 Ford Ranger. Two layouts with unique upper
control arm options are available, says ICON, offering
up to a 35 percent increase in front wheel travel over
factory specs and the ability to fit bigger, beefier tires.
The kit also has new 2.5 Series front coilovers and 2.
Aluminum Series rear shocks that have been specially
tuned and are rebuildable and revalvable. The height-
adjustable coilovers offer from 0 to 3^1 ⁄ 2 inches of lift up
front. The kit is a direct bolt-in for both two- and four-
wheel-drive Rangers. INFO: ICON Vehicle Dynamics,

Kammok introduces the Thylacine
high-performance sleeping bag
designed for elevated camping. The
Thylacine is said to be one of the most
technically advanced sleep systems on
the market, offering complete versatility
and adaptability as needs and environ-
ment change. It allows users to go from
a 20 degree F bag to a 0 degree F bag
in just 60 seconds. The Thylacine is
fully customizable, featuring a func-
tional design, lightweight fabric, and
durable hardware. The Variable Warmth
Technology allows the warmth of the
bag to be adjusted through a system of
insulated liners. Additionally, the Thyla-
cine can be tailored directly to the body
with the CustomFit adjustments. Cinch
straps keep the bag snug, which is said
to eliminate cold spots and maximize
warmth in the backcountry. INFO:

POWER, LESS HEAT
The Lava Wastegate Shield
thermal barrier from
Heatshield Products is
designed to improve turbo
performance and offer
more consistent operation
of the wastegate valve. An
increase in power, better ex-
haust efficiency, and a reduc-
tion in underhood heat are also
on tap. The shield does this
by protecting the turbocharg-
er wastegate and its internal
components from excessive
heat exposure, and it does so in a
special way—a proprietary volcanic
rock–based material that has a heat
rating of 1,200 degrees F, while the inner
layer is the proprietary Inferno Mat, so overall
you’re looking at the ability to withstand constant
temps of 1,800 degrees F and intermittent temps
of 2,200 degrees F. You probably won’t even have
to remove the turbo to install this. INFO: Heatshield
