Smaller companies are often the most innovative and creative when he comes to providing new products. But they often don't get the recognition they deserve. Here are some the coolest 4x4 products from smaller companies at SEMA 2017.

Tough FormFit Guard Hood Protector

When I hear a truck product is designed, manufactured and tested in Alberta, I have to get excited. Albertans get it all - brutal cold, extreme heat, towering elevation changes, all on roads and highways that see tonnes of rock launching RV’s, tractor-trailers, and heavy, heavy machinery.

The Tough FormFit Guard is a distinct hood protector constructed from a UV stable acrylic capped ABS, with a bolt-on look designed to match the style of bolt-on fender flares (whether they are truly bolt-on or not).  It is a no drill install, with no modification required, as the parts attach with 3M automotive tape and patented stainless steel clips on the hood edge.

These folks are not a new start-up but are Focus Auto design, with over 30 years experience making OEM hood protectors. They have styles to match most trucks, so go to their website for pricing and shipping information for you 4x4.

Cartridge to Spin-on Oil Filter Adapter
Cartridge filters on Toyotas can be a pain to work on - tough to get off, plastic pieces that break, hard to access locations - especially if you have under body armour to protect your engine from Canada’s tough roads and trails. Baxter Performance has designed and built an adapter to convert your cartridge system to an easy to use and reliable spin-on oil filter.

They also offer cartridge filter adapters that will allow you to go to a remote set-up porting off the very end or the sides depending on your orientation and clearances. The one product they offer that will work for virtually any engine (truck, boat, plane) is the inverted remote filter mount. A variety of porting options allow you to mount high in the engine bay for easy access.
