POMPANO BEACH FL Nov 19, 2025 – ZZ2 is proud to introduce the latest evolution in our ZWAGZ lighting lineup — the ZW-GMLC-EV, a next-generation OEM-integrated flasher designed for 2024 and newer GM vehicles, including the Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, 2025 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon Denali, and GMC Sierra HD3500 Denali.
Building on the success of the ZW-GMLCv2, this new model ZW-GMLC-EVdelivers a newer and powerful microcontroller or processor with enhanced compatibility for new GM platforms — plus two additional flash patterns, giving drivers a total of seven selectable patterns for superior visibility and customization.
With true plug-and-play installation, the ZW-GMLC-EV connects directly at the OE Light Control Module (next to the BCM) — no cutting, splicing, or programming required. Installers can activate flash patterns using the factory high-beam lever, push button provided with the kit, up-fitter wire trigger, or even the OEM key fob!!!
The ZW-GMLC-EVrepresents a major leap forward in fleet safety lighting. By integrating directly with OEM systems, fleets, municipalities, and emergency responders can now achieve professional-grade light flashing without complex installs or costly downtime.
RENO, NV (11.18.25) – THE AMA EnduroCross rolled in the Reno-Sparks Livestock Events Center for the new season on Friday, November 15th.
“It was great to get back to Reno this year. The Reno-Sparks Livestock venue is perfect for EnduroCross. The whole track area can be seen from the stands and again this year the stands were packed. Also, the lobby was very business as attendees arrived, and in between races, as KICKER dealer Nevada Auto Sound showed new products in the KICKER booth. This year the doors opened at 5:30 and riders sighed autographs by the Kicker booth. Lorin Morrell, Maddog Media related.
The stands were packed watching riders on the track.
During the AMA EnduroCross pre-racing Track Walk fans had a chance to walk the track mounds and visit the pit area. “The Track Walk was a great way to give fans a fun experience. During the Pit Party fans got to meet and talk with their favorite their favorite riders and check out their bikes” Morrell added.
As soon as racers hit the track they got their rhythm as they went around tight turns, eased through beds of logs and boulders and up mounds. Between races the PA announcers let the crowd know to check out the KICKER booth.
Thomas Wing from KICKER Reno dealer Nevada Auto Sound talked with enthusiasts and many had questions about what KICKER products would be best for their rides. The KICKER PowerBar was once again grabbed a lot of interest in the booth. Dana Doyle, Area KICKER rep, was also un he house. Fans from the area also had questions about KICKER products for their trucks, boats, cars, bikes and side-by-sides.

MEMPHIS TN (11.18.25) – Memphis expanded the MOJO Pro amplifier lineup with the release of the all-new MJP2000.1, a serious mono amplifier built to deliver clean, controlled power for demanding subwoofer systems. Following the success of the MJP1000.1, MJP1500.1, and MJP3000.1, this new model hits the sweet spot in the series — providing a true 2000W RMS at 1Ω with rock-solid stability and the tuning flexibility MOJO Pro amps are known for.
The MJP2000.1 carries forward the same bold look and bulletproof construction that define the MOJO Pro line. Its extruded aluminum chassis with exposed aluminum edges and the signature orange accent strip makes it instantly recognizable as Memphis. Under the hood, precision engineering and pro-level controls make it easy to dial in tight, accurate bass.
This amplifier features 12dB/octave Butterworth crossovers, variable crossovers, and a variable EQ bass boost, giving installers the control they need to fine-tune performance. The MJP2000.1 is strap-able, allowing two amps to be linked together for extreme power setups. A bass knob is included for convenient level control from the driver’s seat.
Power ratings come in at:
• 830W x1 @ 4Ω RMS
• 1500W x1 @ 2Ω RMS
• 2000W x1 @ 1Ω RMS
All while maintaining THD below 1%, an 80dB signal-to-noise ratio, and a wide 11Hz–200Hz frequency response. Input sensitivity ranges from 400mV–7.5V. Pair it with Memphis’ 0-gauge amp kit (0GKIT) for optimal current delivery.
“The MJP2000.1 is all about delivering serious power with precision,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “We wanted to build an amp that can pair perfectly with high-performance subs like a pair of the new VIV1212 subs or a MJ1512. MOJO Pro amps are built to push big power reliably, play clean and run hard.”
The MJP2000.1 pairs perfectly with a range of Memphis high powered subwoofers making it the ideal choice for enthusiasts who want true output without sacrificing control or sound quality.
The MJP2000.1 is available now for immediate shipping!
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (Nov. 18, 2025) – Troy Trepanier was crowned the overall winner of the 2025 SEMA Battle of the Builders presented by Mothers Polish competition with his stunning creation, a 1936 Ford roadster named “Fenderless.” Trepanier won the Hot Rod/Hot Rod Truck category and edged out three other class champions — Tim Franklin (Sport Compact/Import Performance), Ron Jones (Off-Road), and Thomas Dickerson (BFGoodrich Young Guns) — to secure the overall title.
2025 SEMA Battle of the Builders Overall Champion Troy Trepanier
Trepanier, a fixture in the custom car world, returned to the top of the industry’s most prestigious builder competition eight years after winning the Battle of the Builders title in 2017. His latest build captivated judges and fans alike at the 2025 SEMA Show with its flawless craftsmanship, balanced design, and innovative engineering.
“It was great to be back in the SEMA Battle of the Builders contest. It has grown a lot since we first won the event eight years ago,” said Trepanier. “We finally had a car worthy of being back in the competition. There were so many great cars this year. Everybody was a winner — the Top 40, Top 12, and especially the final four.”
Troy Trepanier’s 1936 Ford roadster (Hot Rod/Hot Rod Truck Winner & Overall Champion)
Completed in January 2025, Fenderless is a completely scratch-built vehicle designed to resemble a 1936 Ford roadster, but with every dimension reworked to achieve ideal proportions as an open-wheel car. Every major component of the project was fabricated in-house at Rad Rides by Troy in Manteno, Ill., including the body, chassis, suspension, and all machined parts.
The car features a 1957 McCullough-supercharged 312-cid Ford Y-block engine, paired with a Bowler 4R70W transmission and quick-change rear axle with torsion bar suspension. The bodywork, paint, and interior were handled entirely by Trepanier’s team, which finished the roadster with a modified Porsche Aventurine Green Metallic color to radiate elegance.
Tim Franklin’s 1960 Porsche Custom 356 (Sport Compact/Import Performance Winner)
“Trepanier’s vehicle is a testament to the level of creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation that define the SEMA Battle of the Builders competition,” said RJ de Vera, SEMA Vice President of Marketing. “This program celebrates the builders who push the boundaries of what’s possible and inspire the next generation of automotive visionaries.”
Ron Jones’ 1973 VW Thing (Off-Road Winner)
SEMA Battle of the Builders recognizes the top vehicle builders in the world, celebrating innovation, craftsmanship, and passion within the automotive aftermarket industry. Franklin won Sport Compact/Import Performance with a 1960 Porsche Custom 356 that was in absolutely terrible condition before going through a transformation that resulted in contoured body/rolled rocker panels and a fresh streamlined look. Jones’ Off-Road-winning 1973 VW Thing was created from the ground up with a one-off chromoly long-travel tube chassis and featuring more than 350 machined pieces. Dickerson earned the BFGoodrich Young Guns title with a 1967 Chevrolet C10 that he built on his own with a custom engine bay, glass, headlights, and interior.
