Located in the Ouachita Mountains, near Hot Springs, Arkansas the Superlift Off-Road Vehicle Park is a great destination for those with a passion for four-wheeling.
The Ouachita Mountain Region of Arkansas is noted for providing outdoor enthusiasts with an array of opportunities throughout all four seasons. Beginning near the town of Little Rock in central Arkansas, the Ouachita Mountain range heads west through the state before ending in eastern Oklahoma. Hikers and backpackers travel from abroad to experience the 235 mile long Ouachita National Trail, while mountain bikers throughout the United States show up to ride the Womble Trail.
Although there are countless miles of dim roads and trails throughout the Ouachita National Forest, new regulations deem many of them closed to off-road vehicles. That being said, there is still one destination in particular in the Ouachita Mountain region that is privately owned and has been set aside for the enjoyment of off-road vehicles of all descriptions.
Nestled amongst steep and boulder-laden valleys and ridges near Hot Springs, Arkansas, the Superlift Off-Road Vehicle Park consists of 1,254 acres of designated trails. Although the exact mileage of the trails on the facility has never been recorded, one can spend a full day at the park and not even come close to tackling all of the trails. In fact, folks return to the facility time and time again, not only to revisit some of the same routes they have already experienced, but possibly tackle some of the ones they previously missed as well.
According to the General Manager of Superlift Off-Road Vehicle Park, Knox Kendrick, the trails have been designed in a manner that folks of all skill levels with vehicles of various capabilities can come out and enjoy a day of four-wheeling. Of course, there are plenty of challenges awaiting those hardcore drivers who live to push it to the limit, but there are also stretches where one could actually drive a stock four-wheel-drive from the showroom floor and be entertained as well.
The Superlift Off-Road Vehicle Park sports trail for various skill levels and vehicle capabilities.
A sign is posted at the beginning of each trail explaining the difficulty level. Those sporting one diamond are fairly level and designed with the novice driver with totally stock vehicles with street tires in mind. On the other hand, as the number of diamonds increase, the difficulty level does as well. As such, the five diamond trails are the real deal and should only be tackled by experienced off-road drivers with properly modified vehicles. In fact those traversing the five diamond courses are apt to be challenged with practically vertical ledges in the neighborhood of eight feet in height as well as an array of other extreme obstacles.
When asked if there are any particular sections of trail that beckon the most experienced drivers back time and time again, Kendrick suggested that a route referred to as Ingrid's Revenge seems to be a very popular challenge. This particular trail consists of huge boulders, and large, slick slabs.
When asked how a vehicle must be modified to tackle the tougher courses, Knox said, "Everybody does it differently. You can take a typical off-road vehicle put larger tires and a lift kit on it. It all varies; some guys who come out here might spend $5,000 on their rig, while some folks spend in the neighborhood of $100,000 on theirs."
Not only are four wheel drive trucks and jeeps welcomed at the park, but Superlift caters to ATV, motorcycle and UTV riders also. As one might suspect, there are trails designed specifically for these styles of vehicles.
According to Kendrick, many of the drivers who visit the facility depend upon K&N filters to ensure an adequate air and oil flow is maintained during the rigors of maneuvering the course. Not only do the drivers using K&N products know that they have optimal oil and air flow, but they also have the luxury of knowing the internal components of their engines will remain free of dust and debris.
"We've noticed a growing interest in off-road vehicles," explained Kendrick. "Although some of our courses are designed with very serious off-road drivers in mind, we are also geared toward family as well. We have a little playground for children and are nearing the completion of an R.C. track that can be enjoyed by adults and youngsters alike. Folks can come out to wheel and bring the entire family and have a good time."
38-2019S Replacement Air Filter for heavy duty applications
K&N engineers have designed quite a few heavy duty reusable air filters for diesel truck
and equipment owners that can save money. These owners no longer have to continuously throw away expensive disposable paper air filters.
K&N heavy duty air filter part number 38-2019S has been designed for use in some very popular heavy duty
applications including some Navistar International 9200 & 9300 Series
Trucks. K&N's
38-2019S
air filter also fits some John Deere Combines, Case-International Tractors
with Cummins QSX15 Engines as well as other heavy duty diesel trucks and
equipment. Because this filter fits so many applications, the best way
to determine if this filter is appropriate for your rig or equipment is to
enter your existing air filter part number in
K&N's cross
reference air filter search.
K&N 38-2019S has a 7" flange diameter, stands 18.5" in height,
has an outside diameter of 12.75 inches and weighs about 12.8 pounds. This air filter has been designed
to lower restriction and improve horsepower.
K&N HD filter 38-2019S uses
a hybrid filter medium which is comprised of a thick non-woven synthetic media that is co-pleated between 2 layers of powder-coated aluminum screen wire. The bottom plate has a Urethane flange that will fit over the inlet tube and provide a tight seal around the inlet pipe. Around the filter media is a powder-coated steel cage that can help the filter withstand the extreme conditions present in large turbo diesel applications. On the top of the heavy duty air filter is a steel plate that has a handle built into it in order to allow truck owners the ability to remove and replace the filter with ease when servicing the filter becomes necessary.
Heavy duty filter 38-2019S can be easily cleaned using K&N's HD cleaner part number 99-0638 and a hose. These filters are so tough that a driver can use power washers or truck washing equipment with the HD cleaner to clean the filter then use pressurized air to blow the excess water off
for a fast turn around.
K&N commercial grade air filters have a 3 year or 300,000 mile limited warranty. One K&N can replace more than 10 disposable air filters.
Below are some of the common air filter manufacturers and part numbers that
K&N's 38-2019S replaces:
Replacement Air Filter for 2011 to 2016 Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 HD and 2013 Silverado 2500/3500 HD 6.6L diesels
The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks have been a pillar of American culture since their inception in 1975.
Compared to the first truck GMC ever made in 1930, the Sierra and Silverado series are fairly modern. Sierra and Silverado
pickup trucks have become household names for work and pleasure in a very
short time frame and owners all over America have been enjoying these trucks
for their power and comfort. In 2011 these trucks underwent some substantial changes. Although the trucks look similar to earlier models they came with an improved 6.6
liter Duramax diesel engine. This engine packs a huge gain in torque and some gains in horsepower, as well as some improvements in chassis and suspension components. The stiffer ride helps with steering response, handling on rough roads, and the vehicle's turning radius.
Restriction Chart for 33-2466 Air Filter
K&N has released part 33-2466,
a replacement air filter, for 2011 to 2016 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD, and 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 HD
models with 6.6 liter diesel engines. The 33-2466
is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration by replacing the
restrictive OE paper filter with a high-flow, washable and reusable K&N oiled cotton gauze air filter. The 33-2466
filter also provides outstanding filtration efficiency and dirt capacity so
it can go up to 50,000 miles between servicing depending on driving
conditions. When cleaning is required, it can easily be completed by following simple cleaning instructions with K&N's 99-5000 or 99-5050 Recharger® Kits. K&N OE replacement air filter 33-2466 is easy to install and backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty, so it will be the last air filter you will ever have to purchase.
On route to their Competition Eliminator win in the Les Schwab Challenge event, contested at Woodburn Dragstrip, the Hancock and Lane Cobalt ran the fastest passes the team had ever recorded.
After nearly a two month delay, the rescheduled NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Northwest Division, Les Schwab Challenge event at Woodburn Dragstrip, is finally in the books. In Competition Eliminator, driving his new Cobalt, K&N sponsored Jeff Lane recorded his fourth win of the season with a time of 8.012 at 155.73 mph over Brandon Huhtala.
"The win at Woodburn, Oregon was incredible. Our 2011 Cobalt was running the fastest passes we have ever recorded. Brandon was running extremely well also, so it was a lot of fun racing him in the final," Lane told K&N News.
"Actually, running against Randy Jones in the first round of this race was the real pressure cooker. If Randy were to have won the race, he would have been the only person that could have caught us for the points lead for the Division 6 Competition Eliminator Championship. Fortunately, we had a .00 light, won the round and secured the divisional championship. This made the rest of the day a lot of fun without the pressure, and we continued to roll through eliminations with better reaction times and performance than our competitors each round afterwards."
The fourth win of the season at Woodburn Dragstrip also positioned the Hancock and Lane Racing team in the top ten for the national points chase. Unfortunately for the team, all the remaining races which would have allowed them to gain even more points were back east. This left them with only one more national event, the finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, the NHRA dragstrip located at the Los Angeles County Fairplex near Pomona, California.
"We ended the season number six nationally, Division 6 Champions, we won four races, we are leading the Jegs All-Star points series, and we set a new National E.T. and MPH record at 7.94 at 171.69 mph," added Lane.
With the remainder of this year Lane is already busy implementing his plans for the 2012 season. "We are building a new Super Stock Cavalier for my son Cody to drive next season when his college schedule permits, and I will drive it along with our Cobalt when he can't," says Lane. "It is a lot of fun, but a tremendous amount of work building a new car. The Cavalier should turn out for us to be the coolest car we have had to date. We will be traveling more next year and I can hardly wait for the season to get started!"
Low end torque and sufficient horsepower are two necessary attributes when driving a vehicle that is capable of cruising at high speeds on highways and spending a weekend pounding the trails off-road. The powerful 5.7 liter HEMI, offered in the 2011 to 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models, functions well under these conditions. These new models have been restyled inside and out, which make them highly recommended vehicles for drivers with an active lifestyle.
K&N Air Intake System for 2011 to 2015 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L V8
Jeep strives to manufacture vehicles that have no boundaries and based on that goal, more power could help remove any boundaries that still exist. Many manufacturers do not offer the estimated horsepower to the wheels, but rather test engine horsepower at the crankshaft. Vehicle drivetrain components suck up a lot of horsepower, often referred to as "drivetrain loss," leaving some owners wishing they had more power.
One way to make a few extra ponies to the wheels is to install a K&N cold air intake like part number 77-1563KP.
Testing has shown K&N's 77-1563KP
air intake can get an estimated extra 15 horsepower at 4500 RPM and an
estimated 23 pound feet of torque at 3661 RPM to the wheels without any modifications to factory programming. This substantial horsepower increase is made by replacing the restrictive factory intake system with high-flow K&N components engineered to increase performance.
The 77-1563KP
air intake fits 2011 to 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models with 5.7
liter HEMI engines.
The 77-1563KP kit utilizes an aluminum intake tube with a durable polished finish, powered coated steel heat shield, and an oversized K&N high flow, washable and reusable air filter. The filter can go up to 100,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions before cleaning is required. When cleaning is due, the filter can be easily completed using K&N's 99-5000 or 99-5050 Recharger® Kit. These high quality components are very durable, easy to install and backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.
