PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: 6.5L DIESELSITE 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Fuel Filter / Water Separator
The Ford 6.7L engine was outfitted with a completely new type of common rail system from the lift pump, high pressure fuel pump, injectors and fuel filters. What we have discovered (and so have many others at their expense) is that the fuel system components are very sensitive to water and debris, much more so than previous fuel system designs. The Dieselsite 2011-2016 Ford 6.7l Fuel Filter/Water Separator protects your fuel system from being damaged by water and debris.

Corvette Expo 2026 & Chevys in the Smokies Take Over Pigeon Forge
The Great Smoky Mountains are famous for the blue haze that gives the range its name—but during the 49th Annual Corvette Expo 2026 and Chevys in the Smokies, the mountains were a little smokier than usual. Some of that haze came from cammed-up V8s, hot rubber, and thousands of horsepower rolling into Pigeon Forge for one of the biggest Chevrolet performance events in the region.

Classic Boat Part 5
In our last installment, we prepped the bottom of our behemoth Spectra 20 for extensive modifications to its lifting strakes. As we were on the cusp of getting into the lamination of the actual structures that would be shaped into the lifting strakes, a patch of bad weather stopped us dead in our tracks. Luckily, the motivation to get the bottom of the boat done, which had waned early in the project, wasn’t going to be thwarted with a couple of rainy days. Once the clouds cleared, we got back to work preparing for the modifications to the bottom of our hull.

The Risks of Rock Climbing in Motorsports
In a sport where the object is to climb over as many rocks as possible, there is some inherent danger of damage. After all, the rock giveth, but the rock taketh away, too. They do this in many ways such as crushed body parts and other components, but thankfully companies such as Kilby Enterprises are there to take away as much of the danger to your rig as possible.
Kilby Enterprises: Innovative Products for Your Rig
Kilby Enterprises makes many cool products, such as their On Board Air systems, but they also produce some heavy-duty skid plates that are designed to keep the rocks from inflicting pain on you and your rig.
Installation of Kilby’s Protective Products
Recently, we watched as the Kilby crew added a host of their protective products to this new Unlimited. From their heavy-duty front bumper to their gas tank skid plate, Kilby offers not only protection, but also some style as well to the vulnerable portions of the Jeep. And the best part is that the parts (with the possible exception of the gas tank skid plate) are easily installed. Even the gas tank skid plate is not all that difficult to install, but it does require the removal of the tank to do the job. In fact, they had the entire job done in a day. Sure, they do have a little practice at this, but the average at-home enthusiast can still do everything in less than a weekend.
Follow Along for the Ultimate Protection
So, follow along as this Unlimited gets the protection it needs to tackle any trail and still get the occupants home in time for that planned BBQ meal.
