PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Canton’s GM LS1-LS6 5-5/8″ Deep Front Sump Road Race and Drift Pan
We here at The Auto Builder understand that when it comes to performance, every component counts. That’s why the Canton Racing Products GM LS1/LS6 Front Sump Road Race and Drift Pan has earned a top spot on our must-have list for any serious gearhead looking to elevate their game.

TOUR DE CENTERFORCE
When it comes to enhancing the performance and reliability of performance cars, it seems as if enough is never enough, regardless of the vehicle, drivetrain or chassis. Then again, when you consider the problems that often cripple our cars despite the inherent strengths or improvements upon them, it’s often the driver that has the most detrimental effect on everything above the pavement.

Bigger Binders
After seeing several ʼ05 Mustangs fitted with StopTech brakes on display at various shows, we made it a point to talk with them about the system they have designed for this car. The result was an impromptu testing session at the California Speedway in Fontana. As it turns out, just because the company had developed a kit that fit the Mustang didnʼt mean they were finished—not by a long shot.

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.
