ee Zees theme for 2016, Dee Zees Got It,


has a lot of meaning to the company. It is
designed to encompass our goals in each department
for the following year and many years to come.
38 Years as an Industry Leader
Dee Zee has been a staple brand in the truck
accessory market since 1977. Dee Zees products
sustain the worker, the weekender and everything in
between. Our extensive product lines are built with
you in mind. We recognize your need for durable,
functional, and stylish products to keep up with your
hectic pace. Dee Zees classic styles are intertwined
with the newest modern looks to explicitly satisfy
your needs. The majority of our products are made
and packaged in Des Moines, IA with 90% of
supplied parts coming from American vendors.
Global Sales and Services Team
Dee Zee has over 200 active aftermarket
customers including Wholesale Distributors (WDs),
Retailers, On-Line Accounts, Farm Stores, Export
Accounts, and Public Safety Accounts. The online
side of Dee Zee has quadrupled within the past
five years with 293% growth and we have added
Export and Public Safety accounts into the mix. Dee
Zee has a global reach, with the newest operations
in Weihai and Shanghai, China. This facility will
have office support, with assembly, inspection and
warehousing capabilities. Our global supply chain
also includes an export program that currently
reaches four continents. These overseas shipment

containers are fulfilled at Dee Zees Iowa


based corporate headquarters.
Knowledgeable, Enthusiastic and
Respectful Customer Service
The Aftermarket Customer Service
Department at Dee Zee consists of five
Customer Relations Specialists (CRS). They
were once considered Customer Service
Representatives, but they are much more
than that. They are the voice of Dee Zee to
our customers, accounts, and outside sales
reps and create relationships with each.
This is why their title has been modified to
Customer Relations Specialists. Although
their workloads have increased, their
dedication, drive, and positive attitudes have
not faltered. Dee Zee continues to grow in
the aftermarket department and our CRS
make Dee Zee a top competitor in customer
service. With a combined 60 years of
experience, they are committed to be the best
customer service in the industry.
While accounts and distributors have
increased substantially, our customer service
department has not. The five CRS handle all
aftermarket accounts along with incoming
phone calls. We average over 5500 calls per
month, which equates to 1100 calls per CRS.
Our busiest days continue to be Mondays
with over 300 calls coming into the customer
service department. Our abandoned call rate
is at three percent with an average of ten
calls per day, well below the national average
of six percent. Continuous training and
process improvements assist in Dee Zees
outstanding customer service and allow each
CRS to be more productive and efficient.

16949 standards apply to the design and


development and production of automotiverelated products. Dee Zee meets this by
having developed a quality management
system that provides for continual
improvement, defect prevention and
reduction of waste in the supply chain.
Dee Zee also meets ISO 14001 criteria
for an environmental management system
that meets legal requirements and puts
sustainability at the heart of the business.
Marketing that Creates Solutions
The Marketing Team at Dee Zee includes
a director, two full-time graphic artists, a
market analyst and an ecommerce account
manager. The director, Dan Kruzic, oversees
all marketing efforts. The two graphic
artists, Matt Gearhart and Kaitlyn Stotts
work together to create media and visual
content that can appeal to the masses. The
market analyst, Carly Hathaway, performs
research on existing and new products
so that Dee Zee knows where it stands in
the marketplace. The ecommerce account
manager, Scott Moyer, handles primarily
web based selling accounts. He helps
steer the direction of corporate online
advertising, coop with accounts, and social
media avenues. Together, the team works to
enhance the Dee Zee brand name and image.

World Class Manufacturing ISO/TS


16949, ISO 14001
One of Dee Zees goals is to meet and
exceed standards of all kinds. ISO/TS

Enhanced Shipping Performance


Dee Zee will begin implementing
a program to increase initial shipment
fulfillment rates to 75% with a goal of
100%. There will be more customer
relations contact with accounts prior
to shipping to see if they would like to
add items before the order is released.
Backordered items will ship separately after
initial shipments so orders can be closed in a
timely manner. SG

ower Stop is a name synonymous


with performance braking systems;
and rightfully so thanks to their
Performance Upgrade 1-Click Brake Kits
and the Track Day Brake Kit for many of
todays most popular road and track vehicles.
Many people overlook a need for increased
braking performance on their tow-rig, daily
driven SUV or trail-rated Jeep. Power
Stops answer to these and other heavy-duty
applications is the Z36 Extreme Truck and
Tow line of braking products.
Any time you add weight to a vehicle by
hauling a load, towing a trailer, or simply
adding a larger/wheel combination, you
change the operating conditions of the stock
brake package. Those operating conditions
may exceed the ability of the stock braking
components. Power Stop Z36 Extreme Truck
and Tow 1-Click Brake Kits are specifically
matched components designed to address
the increase in heat and the required brake
torque of these truly extreme conditions.
The Evolution Tru-Cast Performance Drilled
& Slotted rotors offer cooler braking while
the Z36 Extreme Truck and Tow brake pads
featuring a Carbon-Fiber Ceramic formula,
will provide the extra needed brake torque to
bring your truck or SUV to a halt quickly and
safely. The low dust and virtually noise-free
Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads are paired
with the Performance Drilled & Slotted
Rotors not only for the superior power you
need, but also that true performance look and
style you want.
Phil Bresnahan, Chief of Safety for the
SCCA Chicago-Region chapter learned
first hand how well the Z36 Extreme Truck
and Tow Brake Kit under harsh conditions.
Recently while at Brainerd Raceway near
Minneapolis; Phil was driving to an on-track
incident in the lead safety truck, a 4-door
GMC 2500 HD loaded down with a heavy
equipment skid in the bed, fire-fighting
equipment, a water tank and pump, and 4
safety personnel. Traveling at 90+ mph down
the straightaway the truck and its occupants
had to make a tight right hand turn, when
Phil pressed the brake pedal he said the truck
stopped like never before; something that he
and his fellow safety workers didnt think
was possible. He has since found himself
pushing the truck to limits he had never
thought possible thanks to his new found
confidence in its ability to stop whenever
needed.
In an interview at Blackhawk Farms
Raceway in South Beloit, IL Phil had this
to say about the Power Stop Z36 Braking
System When we added on the Powerstop
brake system we were immensely amazed
how well that balanced the vehicle out,

especially when we came into


certain turns to get to an incident,
that I had really good control
of the vehicle having such

12

W W W. S P O R T S M A N S G E A R M A G . C O M

control over the vehicle and


good response, allows me
to focus on any scene I come
upon The Power Stop brakes allow me to
stay focused on the task at hand This level
of performance is something that everyone
can appreciate when hauling a heavy load,
trailering a boat to the lake, or taking their
family on an adventure.
Power Stop is dedicated to providing
problem-free brake system upgrades and
manufactures the 1-Click Brake Kit a

line of
application
specific brake pad and
rotor kits, remanufactured and performance
tested OE replacement calipers, and
Evolution Tru-Cast drilled and slotted
performance rotors. For more information on

2015 Chevrolet Colorado Reaches Higher


The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is an allnew midsize pickup with the style and
versatility of a truck and the refinement,
maneuverability and efficiency of a
crossover.
The 2015 Colorado is tailored to the
needs of customers in North America
with distinctive design cues and a quiet,
comfortable interior that offers car and
crossover amenities. It also offers innovative
features such as Chevy MyLink with a builtin available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Lane
Departure Warning and Forward Collision
Alert.
Colorado is available in four-door
extended- or crew-cab models, with a choice
of a four-cylinder or a V-6 engine and
offering segment-leading highway efficiency
of up to EPA-estimated 27 mpg highway for
the four-cylinder and 26 mpg with the V-6
(2WD models), when properly equipped. The
Colorado also offers the segments highestavailable trailering rating: 7,000 pounds with
the available V-6 engine and heavy-duty
towing package.
Traditional truck features such as fourwheel drive and a highly flexible bed with
Chevys GearOn system are available,
enhancing capability.

Designed with a zeal for adventure


The Colorados North American design
is unique, with a confident stance and
a sporty demeanor. Taller bedsides, for
example, are exclusive to North America
and match the aggressive, raked belt line of
the cab, creating a distinctive proportion that
reinforces the trucks athleticism while better
securing items stored in the bed.
W W W. S P O R T S M A N S G E A R M A G . C O M

The Colorado features triple-sealed doors


inlaid in the body sides, like the Silverado,
for improved aerodynamic performance
and a quieter interior. To help keep overall
mass down, lightweight materials such as
a segment-first aluminum hood are used.
It also offers the segments first active
aero grille shutters, designed to enhance
aerodynamics when closed.

Truck Reviews

Models and trim levels include Work


Truck (WT), LT and Z71. The off-roadinspired Z71 features a gunmetal grille
surround a change from the chrome
standard on the other models projector
headlamps and 17-inch aluminum wheels

2015 Toyota Tacoma Shows What It
Takes to Remain Americas Best-Selling
Compact Pickup
What does it take to be Americas bestselling compact pickup, year after year? It
takes the Toyota Tacoma. For 2015, Toyota
hones Tacomas segment-dominating ways
by adding a new TRD Pro Series thats offroad ready and willing.
Its what hasnt changed that keeps the
Tacoma on top of its game. With its many
variations, the Tacoma appeals to a broad
spectrum of pickup truck customers. The
Tacoma line offers a choice between
4-cylinder and V6 engines, and 2WD and
4WD drivetrains, along with two cab styles
and two bed lengths. This hard-working,
hard-playing pickup is built to take it and

rewards owners with legendary Toyota


quality, durability and reliability.
Serious off-roaders have long favored
the Tacoma as a basis to build their custom
trucks. The 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro Series
gives them a head start on their way to the
desert. Replacing the limited-edition Tacoma
Baja Series that was offered for 2014,
the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro Series adopts
much of that models beefed-up body and
chassis features, including 16-inch beadlock
style TRD alloy wheels with BF Goodrich
LT265/70R16 All-Terrain KO tires.
Suspension mods make the Tacoma TRD
Pro Series off-road ready, raising ride height
1.75 inches in front, increasing wheel travel
and using TRD springs with decreased rate
for better ride control over rough terrain.
The front suspension, which adds 0.75-inch
wheel travel, is upgraded with 60mm-piston

20

W W W. S P O R T S M A N S G E A R M A G . C O M

Bilstein high-performance shocks with


remote reservoirs to increase shock oil
capacity for greater heat dissipation and
damping sensitivity. The rear suspension is
equipped with 50mm-piston Bilstein highperformance shocks with remote reservoirs,
and the TRD springs add 1.5-inch to wheel
travel.
A TRD Cat-back Exhaust cuts
backpressure and adds a sporty growl to the
4.0-liter V6 engine. And then comes the TRD
Pro Series styling: black alloy wheels, unique
blackout front grille, special TRD badging
and a choice of black, white or exclusive
Inferno exterior colors. Inside, the TRD shift
knob and floor mats add a custom touch.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, a new
Utility Package for the 4-cylinder Tacoma
Access Cab deletes the rear seats to expand
storage capacity. SG

BFGoodrich Tires Celebrates 1 Million
All-Terrain T/A KO2 Sales in North
America
BFGoodrich Tires has sold more than
1 million All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires in
North America, less than eight months after
launching in the market.
The Companys most advanced light truck
tire premiered in November 2014 with 12
initial sizes, and since has expanded to 40
available sizes. A total of 61 sizes will be
available to more than 20,000 BFGoodrich
Tires authorized dealers when the line
expansion is complete in the coming months.

incomparable championship off-road
motorsports racing technology, the KO2
delivers exceptional toughness, tread life
and traction for traversing the harshest
conditions, including gravel, dirt, rock, mud
and snow. The new KO2 provides consumers
the confidence to take on the toughest
challenges for work or play.
Compared to its predecessor, the
formidable KO tire, the new All-Terrain
KO2 delivers the total performance that
demanding light truck owners require in a
tire every day.

Key features of the KO2 include:


Tougher Sidewalls: The KO2 uses raceproven and race-winning CoreGard
technology, developed in the Baja T/A
KR2 for split and bruise-resistant sidewall
rubber, and a thicker, extended shoulder

to prevent sidewall failures. Computer


modeling was used to predict object paths
and create a sidewall designed to deflect
protruding objects, reducing the chances
of splits and snags. Compared to the
current KO tire, the new KO2 is up to 20

percent stronger in this critical off-road
performance area1.
Longer Tread Life: The KO2 has a new
tread design and rubber formulation
that helps it last twice as long on gravel
and 15 percent longer on asphalt than
the previous tire2, allowing off-road
enthusiasts to extend their adventures
and working professionals to get more
use out of the tire. The tread rubber has
been optimally blended to reduce chips
and tears on gravel. A new footprint shape
and interlocking tread design provide more
uniform wear over the long haul. Special
stone ejectors push objects out of the tread
to reduce drilling into the tire.
Aggressive Traction: The KO2 also has a
range of tread features for better mud and
snow traction. The improvements to the
legendary all-terrain performance include
10 percent greater traction in the mud3 and
19 percent greater traction in the snow4
compared to the previous-generation
KO tire. Side-Biter lugs in the sidewall
improve traction in mud, snow and rocks.
Raised bars in the shoulder help release
compacted mud for better traction in soft
soil. 3-D sipes create biting edges for
better snow traction.
The KO2 is an all-season tire that will
carry the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake
symbol, indicating that it exceeds the
Rubber Manufacturer Associations severe
snow traction requirements.
Building on BFGoodrichs long heritage
as an innovative all-terrain tire maker, the
KO2 incorporates technology developed
and tested through the brands legendary
off-road motorsports teams that have
earned 84 off-road wins at races in the
Baja peninsula by far the most by any tire
brand.
The KO2 fits a range of vehicles,
including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge,
Jeep, Toyota and Nissan pick-up trucks and
SUVs as well as Plus Fitments for a wide
variety of vehicles.

blowing information for another day. For


now, lets take a look at four other tires
Interco produces one of which we bet you
didnt know they had in their lineup, but is as
good as it comes in its class.
IROK
The Interco IROK is a tire with
traction as good as it can get in the snow,
mud, and rocks the direct result of
many years of research and development
by the off-road tire gurus at Interco Tire.
Interco IROKs feature scooped lugs,
blade and molded siping, special side-wall
features, extra tough cord and cut resistant
compounds, and a directional tread that
incorporates the legendary Interco patented
Three Stage Lug design. IROKs come in
both bias ply and radial. Interco also offers
the IROK ND, a non-directional, radial
version of the IROK .
TrXus M/T
The Interco TrXus M/T not only has
unbelievable on-road manners such as a
smooth, low-noise ride, but they also has
more siping than any other mud terrain on
the market. These features have proven to
be almost magical in wet, icy, and snowy
conditions. Those same traction features
make the Interco TrXus
M/T a serious rock
climber as
w e l l .

Theres More to Interco than the Super


Swamper TSL and Bogger
Since the 1960s the go to tire for offroading has been Intercos Super Swamper
TSL or its just-as-capable sibling the Super
Swamper Bogger. In fact these tires have
become so popular since their
inception that a lot of people
think the companys name
is Super Swamper. I
mean, sure the Super
Swamper was the tire
that created the offroad segment of
the tire industry;
and its probably
the most famous
off-road tire ever
made; and sure
the Bogger is
considered
by most as
the best offroad tire ever
made but
come on. They
do make other
tires tires
that that perform
unbelievable offand on-road. Were
sure youve heard
of their other tires,
but have you ever
really looked at them?
Oh, did we mention they
also offer a few wheels
too? Well save that mindInterco IROK

which delivers good stability and handling,
thats virtually noise free and prevents large

the only E rated 22 tire (that we know

or ATVs to the camp. If you are looking for
a tire that offers an aggressive look with a
tremendous ride the Interco VorTrac A/T
is your tire.

2015 Nissan Juke NISMO


The 2015 JUKE NISMO and JUKE
NISMO RS are part of a growing lineup
of NISMO-branded factory performance
machines in Nissan showrooms, which also
includes the popular Nissan 370Z NISMO
and the ultimate NISMO, the GT-R NISMO.
Both the JUKE NISMO and NISMO RS
include special exterior modifications
designed to enhance aerodynamics, resulting
in a 37-percent improvement in downforce
(versus non-NISMO models). Exterior
features include NISMO front and rear
fascias and side sills with a distinctive red
stripe, special grille and light treatments,
extended body-colored wheel flares, red
outside mirror covers and unique rear spoiler
and NISMO or NISMO RS badging.
Inside, the NISMO-style interiors combine
dark finishes and red accents. The leather
and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel
designs include a racing-inspired red topcenter marking, while the special sport front
seats offer added support and comfort while
cornering, along with embossed NISMO
logos and red stitching. NISMO RS adds
unique Recaro front seats with embossed
logos.
The JUKE NISMO RS increases the
engines performance to 215 horsepower
(at 6,000 rpm) and 210 lb-ft of torque
(from 3,600 to 4,800 rpm) for the 6-speed

manual transmission-equipped front-wheel


drive model. The JUKE NISMO RS AWD
with Xtronic transmission is rated at 211
horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) and 184 lb-ft of
torque (from 2,400 to 6,000 rpm). Manual
transmission-equipped NISMO RS models
also offer a standard helical-geared LimitedSlip Differential (LSD) to direct more power
to the front wheel with the most traction,
helping maintain acceleration during
cornering. It also helps reduce torque steer,
adding to the sense of driving excitement.

to fill their ATVs, personal watercraft, boats,
and snowmobiles. No more lifting heavy fuel
cans or spilling gasoline in the water, on the
ground or on your vehicles when refueling.
The configurable flanges make the RD8
an ideal pump to fit into tight spaces often
found in RV applications. It takes just
minutes to remove two bolts and rotate the
flange to get it in the correct position for
your space.
The RD8 pumps fluids at flow rates up
to 8 GPM. It is made of cast aluminum and
weighs just 7.5 pounds. The manual nozzle
allows you to vary the flow to match the size
of the tank and avoid spilling. It has a 30
minute duty cycle so filling multiple vehicles
consecutively is quick and convenient. For
