GEflfi PRODUCT TESTS & NEW STUFF NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE It's not often someone crows about new bull bars, but the design team at Opposite Lock reckon they're onto something with their new range of premium bull bars. Designed for the recently released Nissan Navara NP300, the Land Rover Discovery 4 and the Mitsubishi Triton MQ, the bull bars are airbag-compliant and have textured matte-black powder coat finishes for extra durability. They also feature central split- air dams, which maintain airflow to the engine and improve strength in full-frontal collisions. Heavy-duty polyurethane over-riders protect the bars against accidental-nudging damage, and a mounting provision has been included for low-mount electric winches. Each bull bar has three CB aerial mounts with a quick-fit cut-out. www.oppositeiock.cotn.au POCKET ROCKET Gerber's Cortex Flashlight is small, but it tries hard. It's completely waterproof, has a pocket clip for carrying, an anodised aluminium body and can run on either three lithium CR123 batteries or two AA batteries. With a maximum light output of 675 lumens, the torch also offers three light modes: high, low and strobe - allowing you to choose your preferred option depending on your environment. A lithium CR123 battery on high mode will last 1.75 hours. On low mode it will last 40 hours. An alkaline battery on high will last one hour. On low it will last 15 hours. au.gerbergear.com BOURKE AND WILLS TRAVEL GUIDE No matter how tough you're doing it, there was always someone who did it tougher.

Their mufflers are purpose-built for specific vehicle types, with a three-inch system that controls back pressure to the turbo. Inside the mufflers, dimples help encourage this back pressure while acting as 'speed bumps' to change the way gas behaves inside the chamber. When combined with 200-cell diesel-specific catalytic converters, the exhaust can help reduce 'turbo lag', with a more efficient flow of gas potentially lowering your EGT.
