aFe News

It was fun to see the amount of people stop and stare at the 2019 SEMA Show, where we displayed a brand new 2020 Jeep Gladiator in the aFe POWER booth.  Thousands of industry veterans were quick to pull out their cameras and grab shots of the 'Tazmangler', a collaboration with Jeep builder Mike Duval of Duval Offroad Designs and X-Treme Toys.  

It also caught the eye of the editors of FourWheeler, who named aFe POWER and the Jeep Gladiator as one of the "10 Best 2020 Jeep JT Gladiator Pickup Builds from SEMA 2019".

Fronting the advanced Flow engineering (aFe) booth at SEMA 2019 was the 2020 Jeep Gladiator build crafted by Duval Offroad Designs and X-Treme Toyz. Nicknamed "Tazmangler," the Gladiator is definitely set up for the overland lifestyle with a Leitner Designs Active Cargo System (ACS) rack and storage pods hosting important gear such as RotoPax water and fuel canisters, Power Tank air tank, tools, parts, and a Front Runner roof-top tent and awning. 

Power boosts come from an aFe Cat-Back exhaust system, Momentum intake, and Sprint Booster. A FabTech 5-inch Crawler Long Arm suspension system with Sway-a-Way coilovers with bump stops in front and Sway-a-Way reservoir shocks work with a SteerSmarts Yeti DH steering system to help keep the 17x9 Mickey Thompson Sidebiter Lock wheels and 40x13.50R17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tires where they should be.

INTAKE SYSTEM

Its main purpose is to bring in the newest and hottest stuff in the industry – it did exactly that. That being the new Toyota Supra and Jeep Gladiator, in excessive numbers. The SEMA Show always draws whatever is “in,” but this year was unlike any other. 

The Central (Racing and Performance) Hall was littered with widebody Supras. YouTubers, such as TJ Hunt and Stradman, displayed the builds they’ve been working on – which drew in large crowds. The off-road centric South Hall, on the other hand, was practically stuffed full of Gladiators (mainly sporting factory red paint and utilitarian bed racks). For the first time ever, SEMA reserved an entire section of the South Hall only for hardcore overland-style builds.

Like many others, we opted to go with the year’s trendy cars in our booth. We brought along a Jeep Gladiator built by Duval Off Road and our two Supras. With all three red in color, the Mk5 and its matching predecessor (that’s completely stock, by the way) drew in quite an audience.

The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra have been staples in the truck market since their initial releases. They've rightfully earned their esteemed names and the title one of America's best selling vehicles for quite some time now. Along with the appeal to a wide range of consumers, comes some toned-down features... but that's where we come in. Our products are designed to "fill in the gaps" for aftermarket enthusiasts like ourselves – whether that be regarding the truck's performance, sound, or its looks.

Like most M cars, the F82 M4 is a driver's car through and through. Its incredible handling characteristics and over 400 horsepower make it one of our personal favorites. This didn't stop us from wanting to push its limits. We started with our specialty, a cold air intake system, and moved on to create a lengthy product lineup including artful exhaust systems, street and track suspension, down-pipes, and more. We've enjoyed the F82 in multiple iterations, and love to see other enthusiasts doing the same along with our products.

EIBACHTOBERFEST 

If you know aFe, you know how much we love our Porsches and BMW Ms. The second weekend of October, we're heading down the street from our HQ to Eibach to celebrate all things European – food, cars, and their aftermarket parts.

LAS VEGAS, NV

NOVEMBER 5TH @ 9AM 

The industry's largest trade-only event draws thousands of attendees to check out the latest and hottest stuff in the automotive world. We'll be there with our new 2020 Supra, our recently announced grille line, and more.

The peak of show season is coming to a close, as desert and off-road season approaches. Sort of a kick-off for the year, Off-Road Expo provides enthusiasts a chance to check out products from thousands of exhibitors, stock up on necessities, and find inspiration from some of the best builders in the scene.

POMONA, CA

SEPT. 28th & 29th

Among the many interactive exhibits and show vehicles, a Jesse Combs memorial piece drew in crowds of fans. At the aFe booth, we showed off a Gladiator straight off the lot, our in-house Wrangler JK, and a bunch of available Sway-A-Way Shocks and intakes. Despite light rain throughout the weekend, the entire show went off without a hitch. As always, we had a blast meeting fellow enthusiasts, including the winner of our $1000 suspension giveaway, all while taking in the pretty rare cool weather here in Southern California.

For three days, the Sand Sports Super Show takes over the OC Fair & Event Center. Here, you'll find everything sand sport fans could want – from vendors and insane builds, to interactive exhibits, good food and drinks, and more. This past weekend, we had a blast hanging out with fellow enthusiasts and showing off some of our products for off-road vehicles and their tow rigs. Next up, we'll be at Off-Road Expo in Pomona the weekend of September 28th.

RAFFLE/GIVEAWAY WINNERS 

COSTA MESA, CA

The new version of the Acura NSX came sporting over 500 horsepower. The R35 came with great factory power and tons of power potential. What did the new Supra come with? 

We’re here to find out. 

We’ve had the 2020 Supra in the shop a few times already, but just for scanning and product test fits. We have yet to run it on our in-house Dynojet, but to be frank with you, we’re not setting our hopes too high. We're holding our judgement until we see for ourselves.

...WILL IT

Aesthetics wise, the car is a lot more impressive in person than in the press photos we’d seen previously. The body lines don’t necessarily resemble the Mk4 at all, but have a nice, yet bold flow to them that everyone around the office here seems to actually really like. Once you open the door and start digging a little deeper, is when the BMW emerges. The view from the driver’s seat closely resembles that of a new gen BMW Z -iDrive and all.

While we don’t feel the GR Supra pays enough respect to the classic, we still totally dig it and can’t wait to see what is accomplishes once covered in our parts. Whatever numbers it puts down on the dyno, we’re ready to improve them.

A few weeks after securing our very own Renaissance Red 2.0 2020 and enjoying it around the streets of SoCal, it finally got some time on the dyno. 

Our baseline numbers came in at 332 horsepower and 384 lbs. x ft. of torque. Rated at 335 horsepower and 365 lbs. x ft. of torque from the factory, our baseline run proved the Supra to be a bit more powerful to the wheels than Toyota has advertised. 

...We're impressed.
