Abstract: A retractable step and side bar assembly that can be used for raised vehicles, such as trucks. The retractable step can be configured to provide for significant reach in a deployed position to allow for a user to enter the raised vehicle. Further, in the stowed position the retractable step can be located within the side bar, thereby providing a low profile as well as an enhanced aesthetic appearance.

Abstract: An air filtration system for a vehicle includes a filter housing comprising a first wall, a second wall, and a center wall disposed between the first and second walls. An intermediate tube is disposed within an outlet port in the center wall. An air intake tube is coupled between the intermediate tube and the inlet of a stock turbocharger for a turbo-diesel L6 5.9 Liter engine. Methods for providing filtered air to a turbo-diesel internal combustion engine are also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for filtering air includes a filter housing and a battery tray integral with the filter housing. The battery tray may be coupled to the filter housing via a ramp. The filter housing may comprise a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall, wherein the third wall is diagonally disposed between the first and second walls. The apparatus may further include an air intake tube having an upstream portion affixed to the third wall, and a downstream portion configured for fluid communication with a turbocharger of a V8 Ford diesel truck. Methods for providing filtered air to a turbo-diesel internal combustion engine are also disclosed.
