PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Slant-Edge 100 Amp Alternators by Factory PerformanceTM Parts
In the world of high-performance builds, attention to detail sets great cars apart from the rest. That’s why Factory Performance™ Parts, a division of PROFORM® Parts, has taken a fresh approach to a time-tested workhorse with the launch of the new Slant-Edge 100 Amp Alternators—a stylish, high-output evolution of the iconic GM 10SI. Designed for those who care as much about what’s under the hood as how it looks when the hood is up, the Slant-Edge delivers form and function in equal measure.
From Factory to Fierce: Must-See Upgrades at the 2025 Bronco Stampede
If your Bronco is still stock, it’s time for an upgrade. At the 2025 Great Smoky Mountain Bronco® Stampede in Pigeon Forge, the LeConte Center was transformed into a playground for anyone who refuses to settle for factory specs. First-gen classics mingled with lifted Sasquatch Editions, chopped customs, and wild builds that looked like they might break a few laws—on purpose. Every aisle was stacked with vendors showing off suspension systems, armor, lighting, audio, and off-road gear—everything needed to turn a perfectly nice stock Bronco into a beast that dominates the trail and turns heads everywhere it rolls.

When Mitch Meyers was but a pup back in 1986, he experienced one of the greatest days of his life: He received his first ride, a ’71 Dodge stepside pickup. Now, the truck wasn’t anything like the one shown here, but it wasn’t a bad canvas for a cool high school cruiser, and the $700 purchase price was just right.

In the heart of Daytona Beach, Florida, from April 19th to the 28th, a congregation of Jeep enthusiasts embarked on an epic journey at Jeep Beach 2024. This annual extravaganza shattered previous attendance records, transforming the city into a mecca for all things Jeep.
The festivities kicked off with an electrifying Scavenger Hunt powered by the Goosechase App, leading participants on a quest to uncover hidden gems scattered across the city. Following this, the community’s commitment to environmental stewardship was on full display during a Coastal Cleanup initiative.
Throughout the week, the Parking Lot Party set the stage for the main event, featuring live tunes, delectable delights from local food trucks, and a noble blood donation drive.
A standout moment was the adrenaline-fueled Off-Road Experience at Cracker Ranch, sponsored by the folks at Hankook Tires, offering thrill-seekers the ultimate test for their Jeeps. Meanwhile, Jeeps at the Rock provided a laid-back vibe with activities like sunrise yoga, beachside games, and an epic tug-of-war showdown at the iconic Hard Rock Hotel.
The climax of Jeep Beach 2024 was the 21st Annual Main Event Show at the Daytona International Speedway, where over 200 national Jeep industry vendors showcased cutting-edge innovations and products, igniting the fervor of Jeep aficionados.
Adding to the excitement was the Jeep Beach JBR Music Fest, headlined by the country crooner Lee Brice and reggae legends The Wailers, among other stellar acts. Against the backdrop of pulsating beats and dazzling fireworks, Jeep unveiled its highly anticipated special edition 2024 Wrangler 4xe and Gladiator models, eliciting thunderous applause from the crowd.
As Jeep Beach 2024 came to a close, it was evident that the event embodied a vibrant lifestyle that transcended mere vehicular showcases, forging bonds among individuals from all walks of life. With the echoes of roaring engines and the laughter of newfound comrades lingering in the air, Jeep Beach concluded on a triumphant note, leaving attendees eagerly counting down the days until next year’s escapades.
