AAM GROUP PARTNERS WITH GREG GRIFFITH AND MANCAVE DESIGNS IN 2017 SEMA PROJECT VEHICLE: RENEGADE III

Renegade III Greg Griffith AAM Group

October 26, 2017 (JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) — The AAM Group™, the largest program distribution group in the SEMA marketplace, is jointly announcing the 2017 SEMA project vehicle Renegade III: a 1974 Jeep CJ-5 that has been taken to the ground and reconstructed with modern enhancements any 1970s owner would have loved. Renegade III is being outfitted by the biggest names in the automotive aftermarket—most of them sponsoring manufacturers of the Total Truck Centers™ or Parts Pro™ jobber marketing program. The Jeep will make its exhibition debut at the SEMA Show in Booth SL08 in the South Hall, Lower Level.

Renegade III was conceived, designed, and managed by AAM Program Sales Manager Greg Griffith and built by the Mancave Designs team. In addition to the modern upgrades, OE enhancements, and custom touches, the Jeep includes several “Hidden Mickeys”: Mickey Mouse silhouettes placed throughout the build. Griffith originally bought the Jeep as a modest cruiser for his wife, a former Disney cast member and enthusiastic fan, and Renegade III exists as both a salute to her and a one-of-a-kind vehicle that brings together two iconic brands.

“One of the best things about this project was that it allowed us to include both our truck and performance manufacturers on one build,” said Griffith. “The support they gave us was simply outstanding. This build should have taken four years under normal circumstances, but our team pulled it together in just over nine months. I am very proud of this Jeep, as she continues our tradition of bringing unique looks and stances to SEMA—plus, blending old with new and showcasing some really crafty parts.”

Other important features include an integrated idle bypass valve, an extended air cleaner flange, 20% more fuel capacity to eliminate starvation, an integrated fuel shelf to maximize aeration, and an internal baffle to control slosh. Every Marine Ultra Dominator carb has been dyno tested to deliver proven performance!

Features

  • All-aluminum construction saves weight.
  • Gray anodized finish protects against corrosion.
  • Optimized for today’s larger race engines and new fuels.

Now available with 2.5” outlets, these LS exhaust manifolds from Hooker offer improved flow and hug the engine block to be suitable for a variety of replacement and engine-swap applications. Their contoured design shunts the exhaust directly to the exit port for improved flow, while the cast-iron construction offers years of leak-free performance—with less under-hood noise than traditional headers. Plus, their shorty design means you can route exhaust tubing close to your frame/floor pan for maximum ground clearance.

Five finishes available: Natural Cast (8502HKR), Silver Ceramic (8502-1HKR), Black Ceramic (8502-3HKR), Titanium Ceramic (8502-4HKR), and Cast Iron Gray Ceramic (8502-5HKR).

Features

  • For GM LS engine swap applications where durability, quiet operation, and leak-free sealing is desired.
  • 5” outlet diameter for improved flow.
  • Nickel-plated steel mating flanges, MLS mating flange gaskets, and mating flange hardware included.
  • High-silicon/moly ductile iron for durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Tight tuck design fits most popular chassis and offers a clean muscle car appearance.
  • Perfect complement to Hooker engine swap mount plates and Holley engine swap oil pans.
  • Five finishes: as-cast or four colored ceramic coatings.

For use in both diesel and gasoline engines, Max-Atomizer from Royal Purple is a fully synthetic, highly concentrated, high-performance fuel injector cleaner. It is specially formulated to solve problems with today’s direct-injection engines, but can be used with any type of fuel injection. Max-Atomizer’s polyether amine (PEA) detergents quickly clean clogged and coked injectors to completely restore flow.

Additionally, Max-Atomizer is the only fuel injector cleaner that also stabilizes ethanol, which chemically breaks down to harm engines.

Features

  • Restores fuel economy and stabilizes ethanol.
  • Maximizes horsepower and improves responsiveness.
  • Will not harm vehicle emissions equipment.
  • EPA/CARB-compliant.
  • Recommended for all ethanol blends.
