The Big Umphf
May 01, 2014
I'm sure there's a better way to spell that, but we're headed to a trade show tomorrow early morning and there's nothing better than a deadline to focus our attention and make us productive. So here's how we define the last few days 'umphf':• NEW WEBSITE: our website will change later this evening to a dramatically different look and navigational system. If you encounter any problems using it, just give us a call. We have everything stored in a non-internet environment and can work around any issues with a simple phone discussion.• PENDING CONTEST: this Sunday night, we're planning a second change to our website: we're going to introduce a photo contest in which people can submit pictures of their vehicles to us (the pictures must include a Steinjäger decal on the vehicle). Anyone who submits a picture to us (within the contest guidelines) will get a $25 store coupon. Visitors will be able to vote on their favorite vehicle photos and once per month we'll give a $500 store credit to whichever vehicle gets the most visitors. Once the contest is 'live' there will be a link on our home page called, 'Photo Contest', that will have the full rules, voting system, etc. We think this will be a lot of fun since every entrant will win $25 and we'll get to see a bunch of fun vehicles in action (with our logos on them!)• JK WRANGLER END LINKS: We introduced a new series of quick disconnect end links to fit the JK Wranglers. We have them for a variety of lift heights, but as an example, for the 2.5" to 5" lift range, our J0030555 has an MSRP price of $74.32. A special thanks to our rogue engineers on the forums who guided us in the right direction. (What's a 'rogue engineer'? We're working on that definition... we'll get back to you in a few weeks).• POLARIS RZR HIGH CLEARANCE KIT: The J0030560 came out this week. It fits the Polaris RZR XP1000 2013-2014 models and is a high clearance radius rod kit. This kit uses DOM tubes, and chrome moly heims and has an MSRP of $280.17. We also have a chrome moly tube kit and a number of new designs in the hopper.• POLY BUSHINGS: We molded our first polyurethane products this first week. The first one is for a magnetic gun support / holder device (see below). We also molded our first poly bushings for 4 link bush kits. We also molded the first prototype poly housings for our rebuildable rod ends. That's right! We're coming out with a 45° family of rebuildable rod ends - probably in September.• POLY GUN MAGNETS: If you've ever been hunting and wanted a place to rest your unloaded gun besides your tailgate, truck body, or tire, you'll love these great magnetic devices. We've encased a high strength magnet in polyurethane. These are also great organizers for metal gun cabinets. We even have used them to site guns (they're just very handy). The part number for these is J0030792 and they also come in retail packs - J0030793. Best of all, we can customize the label, logo or message on them for you. If you order 25 poly gun magnets from us, the pricing is the same as if you buy one with our logo.• BEER CAN HOLDERS for JK and TJ WRANGLERS: OK, they'll also hold fruit juice cans, but who wants to buy a 'Fruit Juice Can Holder.' If you've ever wondered if there are companies that will indulge themselves for a little fun, well, now you know: Steinjäger will. We don't want people driving and drinking, but if you've parked for the day, and have the doors of your Jeep off, why not let the door hinge hold your beer? These great devices can be customized with your logo. The MSRP for our logo design is $36.44 for the JK. The JK part is J0030797. The TJ part# is J0030798.• WRANGLER DOOR HOLDERS: We came out with 3 products today that are designed to give you a place to store your Jeep Wrangler doors, or door hinge accessories (such as our drop in mirrors or foot pegs!). The J0030813 holds two TJ doors, MSRP $59.40. The J0030814 is for two JK doors, MSRP $59.40. The J0030815 is for four JK doors, MSRP $116.03. One of our guys is going to take five of these, mount them to the wall in his basement, and stick the beer can holders in them. OK, so you have a true insight into the Steinjäger culture... Where Baad is Good! Be responsible with all your fun, and let Steinjäger be a part of it.• SO WHAT IS STEINJAGER? We're focused on creating fun, economical, high quality, and high value products for motorsport enthusiasts. We have parts for the Audi, Camaro, Polaris, Mustang, VW, Porsche, Camaro, Corvette, Jeep, Volvo, Mazda, and a growing list of makes and models. Our core manufacturing strengths include tubing, bar, mechanical cables, heim joints (we both import AND manufacture them), plate steel, and now poly molding. Our mission is to create a loyal customer base of end users and resellers who know that we're here to support both their hobby and their business.

Jeep JK Wrangler Magnetic Drop-In Mirror
Feb 07, 2014
J0029732: We're excited about our drop-in magnetic mirror for Jeep JK Wranglers. This patent-pending design can be installed in less than two minutes. We posted a video on our youtube channel. See the JK video here. We also have a new TJ mirror.If you like Jeep videos, our youtube channel also shows us installing a hood latch tightening mechanism that's based on rod ends. The TJ video is here. Links to the product page for the TJ latch J0023991. And for the JK latch, J0029523.Between the snows and the new Jeep mirror designs this week, we've also had a few team meetings to work on some pending new Mazda and Miata sway bars, as well as some more brainstorming on Jeep JK designs. The craziest discovery this week is that we should be molding our own polyurethane bushings. We're going to be installing a new molding machine in April and hope to introduce our first designs mid-summer. The sponsoring project... not quite a secret anymore... is a very broad line of rebuildable rod ends. Our rebuildable rod ends won't be just a 'me too' design. These are going to be Steinjäger tough, will have great misalignment angles 40° minimum, with multiple sizes at 45°, and with a special added feature that we haven't seen before (but that part is a secret).Visit Steinjäger: More and more customers are bringing vehicles and parts to us. It's almost a daily occurrence now that someone either brings us a vehicle or sends us a part. We're not an install shop - we're a design center and a manufacturing facility, but the vehicle is the best way for us to quickly do a design. As mentioned above, we were working on sway bar designs yesterday - four of them simultaneously (not bad for a few hours work). If you are within a day's drive and can spare your vehicle for a day, let us know. Anything we come out with you get one set for free and a huge discount on future orders of that product. If you want to send a part to us, it's far better if it's an existing performance part - it's somewhat more difficult to reverse engineer a stock part without the vehicle present.
New Mustang, Audi, VW and Universal Parts
Feb 05, 2014
Between the snows of the last few days, we've introduced a few new designs to our system:Ford Mustang 1979-1998 Rear Lower Control Arms, Non-Adjustable, Poly/Poly J0023992. Retail price of $194.40.Volkswagen VW Passat 198-2005 Front Upper Control Arms, Double-Adjustable, with Chrome Moly Spherical Rod End Bearings ('heims'), J0030137. This design is cool because we've developed a rod end stud (ball joint stud) that replicates the stock arm - we've made it integral to the ball joint. This is sure to please the performance aftermarket enthusiasts since it is both a new approach, and a very cost effective one. Will also fit the 1996-2008 Audi A4, 2000-2008 Audi S4, 1998-2004 Audi A6, 207-2008 Audi RS4 front upper control arms.3/4-16 RH x 3/4 Female Chrome Moly Spherical Rod End Bearing (Heim) that is VERY long. Our J0030154 is the great for suspensions where you need to stretch your linkage, or just for added adjustment in your unique application.119mm Long M12 End Links. Our new J0030160 end link solves the problem encountered with designs now available - those end links that are too short to use a connecting tube or bar, but are too long for the standard male and female rod end combinations. Our J0030160 bridges that gap by providing a 119mm long end link with ±17mm of adjustment.Cabe Wire Stop: J0030235. Use our barrel cable wire stop to act as a pivot point on the end of your control cable. Fits onto the wire output end commonly seen on parachute cables.Just when you were starting to think that we were all about Jeeps!
