Innovative Automotive Accessories from WeatherTech For the past 30 years, WeatherTech ® has provided consumers with cutting-edge, high-quality products that are designed to protect their vehicles.

Driven by creativity and innovation, WeatherTech continuously develops new automotive accessories that appeal to a wide variety of consumers. For example, the new Under Seat Storage System allows you to stay organized with a cus- tom-fit solution that fits underneath the rear bench seat of select pickup truck models. Designed to fit the exact con- tours of your vehicle and equipped with built-in dividers to prevent cargo from shifting, this system installs in minutes by simply securing into place with a buckle and strap. Made in America from the highest quality materials, the Under Seat Storage System offers the durability and dependability for which WeatherTech products are well known. This system will not crack, break or warp even in the most extreme of tempera- tures.

That's why WeatherTech launched new CupFone™ with Extension earlier this year. As with CupFone, it con- veniently fits in virtually any vehi- cle's cupholder but offers an even greater range of motion for increased visibility and accessibil- ity. The extension allows your mobile phone to be raised four inches higher and tilted four inches forward or backward so that you can find the opti- mal position from which to view your screen.

All of these factors can easily be sharpened up to reduce overhead costs, but how are you going to drive more business to your door? The answer could be in expanding your services to include providing truck bed liners. Not the giant plastic insert bed liners – but spray bed liner application. Specifically, Bullet Liner. You may have heard of Bullet Liner and know that it is a spray-on bed liner product, but read on – there is much more to know about this unique product.

As an existing shop, you should take Stage 8's Locking Fasteners Keep Things Working by Keeping Bolts in Place Stage 8 Locking Fasteners, Inc., (Stage 8) was founded in 1985 by inventor, Founder and President Bruce Bennett. Stage 8 manufactures and sells a patent- ed mechanical locking fastener system invented by Bennett, which is impervi- ous to vibration and heat cycle. The patented three-piece system installs easily and is completely re-useable. Customers have the ability to specify materials as well as plating for their custom applications. The company's origin story sets the tone for the company. As Bennett notes on his website, just like many other motorcycle owners, he regularly worked on his own bike. One day, more than three decades ago, as he was replacing a new exhaust pipe, the pipe fell off – the first day out of the box. He realized there was nothing preventing the pipe from working loose again – and again, and again – so he decided to do something about it. He started with a simple con- cept: a bolt that would not work its way loose, even under extremes of tempera- ture. With his dog Eightball keeping him company, Bennett worked two days straight on the new idea. As many inven- tors discover, failure brings new ideas and persistence in trying new ideas brings ultimate success. After seven ini- tial designs that did not work, he created an eighth option that worked perfectly. It was a simple solution – one that laid a locking wrench on to a grooved head of a bolt. This locked the bolt down so it did not work loose when the machine vibrat- ed or when the metal became hot, expanded and then with cooling, contract- ed and shrank. Sadly, Eightball, who had been ever-present, resting on her bench in the workshop throughout the creation process, passed to the next world. He honored his beloved canine by naming his new company Stage 8 Locking Fasteners, Inc. Bennett says that although he is not launching any new products this year, he brought the company to the show to sign up new dealers and to demo the company's current products to as many people as is possible. He is seeking dealers, jobbers and wholesale distributors. Bennet knows that Stage 8's locking header bolts are the best on the market. The company also provides the best solution for Turbocharger fas- tening systems by utilizing the company's Locking Turbo Fastener Kits. Stage 8 celebrates more than 30 years of providing fail-safe joint integrity for critical applica- tions. It not only supplies locking header bolts to frustrated back- yard mechanics, but also pro- duces them for industrial purpos- es. As Bennett notes, everyone has something they want to stay put – without concern – and his company makes that possible for many diverse industries. Stage 8 Locking Bolts are used in locomotives, automobiles and earthmovers. Safe, sturdy and steady, Stage 8's locking header bolts are a boon to any industry.
