New Device Claims to Reduce SUV Rollover
While automakers
are exploring new
devices to reduce
the chances of
future SUVs from
rolling over, current
owners might won­
der what they can

the problem, short
of selling an otherwise perfectly good vehicle. Well, Amtech
Corp, of Las Vegas recently introduced a product called
ROLLGARD. This suspension stabilizer system takes only 30
minutes to install, and is compatible with most SUVs on the
road, fitting about 70 percent of the market's SUVs, light
trucks and minivans. ROLLGARD acts by providing steering
control and an overall smoother ride, the company says. For

Spruce up Floor Mats
Most of us probably drive around
with the floor mats that conic
equipped with the vehicle,
and when they start to
wear out, well, we
just keep using
them. And there is
nothing wrong with that. But if you want to
add a touch of you to the vehicle or replace worn mats with
brand new mats, then you might want to check out Custom
Floor Mats (www.cfmmats.com). Here you can choose from
over 1 ,000 different types of floor mats, ranging in every color
imaginable. You can even get them with a logo. You can pur­
chase custom-fitted mats or the standard choices. All of the
mats are made to match the original mats that came with
vehicle. These carpet throw mats fit cars, pick-ups, vans and
SUVs, but also have a grip lock, non-skid back to hold it in
place. You can also purchase rubber universal throw mats,
available in black, blue, beige, gray and red. Visit their Website
