Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow last Tuesday, and predicted six more weeks of winter would befall us. Are you ready, and more importantly, is your vehicle ready? Winter weather can make commutes longer and tougher, and can leave your auto with unsightly salt buildup. Salt buildup can lead to corrosion, making your car or truck vulnerable to rust. There are two solutions to this problem: Move to a warmer climate, or invest in protective Rocker Panel Molding.

ICI or Innovative Creations Inc. is a leading manufacturer of Rocker Panel protection. Their panels are constructed of premium quality 304-grade stainless steel. They have over 1,000 individual applications, so you are sure to find one that is perfect for your vehicle. The rocker panels require no drilling to install, they are mounted with high-performance 3M 4229 adhesive. They will also protect from rock or gravel as well as chipping and peeling of paint. They are both functional and stylish, a perfect pair.

If you have a truck, love the look and protection of your rocker panels, and want Tailgate Inserts that match, ICI has you covered. Tailgate panels are made from polished T-304 stainless steel and are custom-fit for each truck. Like the ICI rocker panels, they require no drilling, and are mounted with 3M industrial tape. They are a great addition to any truck and in combination with rocker panels, present a sleek all-around look.

Another rocker panel option is manufactured by U-Cut, and promotes individual customization. U-Cut’s slogan is “U-Design it, U-Cut it, U-Install It” and they can be a great option for more creative or do-it-yourself customers. Rocker panels come in four sizes, from 5 to 8-inches high, and you pick a design, determine how much to cut, and decide where to install. U-Cut’s rocker panels are made of PVC plastic with bright chrome finish and resist scratches and the sun’s harsh UV rays. They come with strong 3M adhesive for attaching. Also included are three pieces of clear styrene that can be measured and cut first as a pattern for the rocker panels.

Coverking was founded over 20 years ago, and has been making quality covers for vehicles and various vehicle parts ever since. Their car and truck covers have proven especially popular, and are now available for purchase at BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com. CoverKing understands that all vehicle owners are different, and thus all owners do not need the same kind of car cover. That is why they manufacture three different kinds of car covers with three levels of protection. The most economical is the Coverguard, which offers basic protection and is made of a single layer of Spunbond Polypropylene. The material is treated with UV inhibitors to protect from the sun’s harsh rays. It is not recommended for use in harsh climates.

A more protective option is the Triguard. This cover is constructed of three layers of material. The top and bottom layers are made of Spunbond Polypropylene, the same material as in the Coverguard. The middle layer is made by a process called Meltblown, which gives the material water-resistance and breathability. This extra layer makes the Triguard suitable for medium weather: it can handle some rain, but is not recommended for significant rain, snow, or ice. Like the Coverguard, it is treated with UV inhibitors to protect from the sun. The Triguard has applications for cars, SUVs, and trucks.

The most protective of the covers is the Coverbond 4. This cover features 4 layers, including top and bottom layers of Spunbond Polypropylene (treated with UV inhibitors), and 2 middle layers of Meltblown Polypropylene. This extra layer of Meltblown Polypropylene gives the Coverbond 4 even more water-resistance and breathability. The extra layer also thickens the cover, giving it more bulk and strength, and making it more protective against harsher weather. The Coverbond 4 will even protect from light hail damage. So if you need a Cover for Cars, be sure to check out these three Coverking options. They have over 350 applications available for cars.

Celebrate the end of January with some off-road lighting equipment. In some parts of the country, winter is just about over. Welcome the spring weather and enjoy the outdoors by going on an off-roading adventure. For those of you still shivering up in the northern states, you may need to stick to the snowmobiling for awhile longer, but it’s never too early to think ahead. That way you’ll be ready when your spring weather finally arrives.

There are quite a few different manufacturers and models of Off Road Lights, so do a little research to determine which model best fits your needs. Hella’s Rallye 400 Series Off Road Lights are great adaptable off-roading lights. They can be mounted upright, pendant, or sideways without affecting beam placement, and beams are designed to hold steady even on rough terrain. Each light is housed in a rugged, die-cast chrome frame with a revolutionary mounting system that allows lamps to be aimed without the use of tools. One bulb and stone shield are included, wiring harness, clear cover and grille covers are also available.

PIAA Off Road Lights are powered by All-Terrian Pattern (ATP) technology, a PIAA exclusive. ATP provides a beam with the perfect combination of width, height, and distance. Each light kit includes two 12 volt, 135 watt XTRA Xtreme White ATP bulbs, housed in black stamped steel with glass lenses. The kits also include a wiring harness, relay, switch, and 2 black PIAA mesh covers.

Once you have chosen your lights, you should also invest in a light bar to mount them to. CARR manufactures Off Road Light Bars that are designed to mount to your vehicle’s roof gutter. If your vehicle only has internal gutters, CARR’s Gutterless Mount Kit can be used.  The light bar includes special keyed bolts for protection and can hold up to 4 lbs. of lights. CARR’s light bar also has an exclusive feature that allow you to rotate the light bar, leaving your lights facedown for extra protection or clearance needs. It is available in three finishes: polished steel, black powdercoat, and titanium silver powdercoat.

What makes a superior police vehicle? It needs to be fast and rugged, comfortable and practical, efficient and visible. Additional accessories may not be able to increase speed, but they can maximize the other very important attributes. A common accessory added to police vehicles is a Police Push Bumper, which adds heavy-duty protection to the front end. Go Rhino’s 5000 Series Bumper offers superior grille and bumper protection. It is manufactured from heavy-duty steel, welded into one piece, and coated with a tough black powdercoat finish. Its cross-plate is pre-drilled, which makes mounting speakers and warning lights easy, as well as providing increased light visibility and speaker volume. Bumpers install in 30 minutes with no drilling required.  If desired, brush guards may be added for additional protection.

Emergency vehicle interiors need to be comfortable as officers spend a lot of time inside of them. They need to function as mini offices too, but with a minimum of space, it’s important to utilize every area and maximize efficiency. Public Safety Equipment Consoles can satisfy this objective. These consoles are designed for use in emergency vehicles and are to be mounted to the floor or dashboard, depending on the model. Go Rhino’s floor mount console kit is designed to mount in a forward position underneath the dashboard. The consoles come in a variety of sizes, including an angled console. Go Rhino also makes specialized mounts for keyboards and screens, including a swivel keyboard extender. All of these accessories can help make a more comfortable, work-friendly environment.

One feature that makes a police vehicle distinct is its Emergency Vehicle Light. Wolo’s Infinity 2 Strobe Light is a good example. It features wide sweeping strobe lights that provide better vision at greater distances. All models have a clear center lens with colored light and left lenses. Lenses are manufactured of a strong carbonate and are replaceable. Upper lenses have a built-in rubber gasket to ensure a watertight fit to light base. Each light bar features two light levels: the upper level has 16 triple-flashing strobe lights and the lower level has six flashing marker lights, two alley lights, and a takedown light. This dual level design offers more light features, with three rocker switches providing independent control of various light groups. A stainless steel mounting strap and 20-ft. heavy-gauge power cable with in-line fuses are included.

Jeep is the oldest brand of off-road vehicles. Since the first civilian Jeep was sold in 1945, Jeep owners have been known for their sense of adventure and desire to explore. Some manufacturers, like CARR, use this knowledge to make specialized Jeep Accessories. So whether you go off-roading often, or just want the look, check out these customized Jeep products!

Windshield Mount Light Bars are a great off-roader purchase. They are designed to mount onto your Jeep windshield’s A pillar, and will not interfere with the removal of the soft top. They can also be used with factory hard tops, if that’s more to your preference. Each light bar holds up to 4-lbs. of lights and includes special bolts that are keyed to protect from theft. Light bars are available in three finishes: titanium powdercoat, black powdercoat, and polished metal. Also, check out CARR’s Rota Light Bars, which can be rotated down for extra clearance space or to protect your lights when not in use.

If off-roading has left your Jeep with damaged or rusting corners, you should look into Jeep Cover Ups. They cover the rear corners of your vehicle, masking flaws with a new, rugged look. Cover-ups can be found in bright polished aluminum or black powdercoat and with or without pre-cut holes for taillights and gas cap. CARR’s Jeep Cover-Ups are proudly made in the USA.

Another specialized off-roading Jeep accessory is Wade’s Jeep Top Wind Deflector. It reduces inside noise while driving with the top off. This can definitely come in handy because it can get really noisy when off-roading. It also deflects wind up and over the vehicle, decreasing in-vehicle air-flow. The wind deflector is easy to install, using automotive-grade tape. Make sure you install it with a couple of days to spare though, because it takes 48 hours to cure. So add even more enjoyment to your off-roading experience by getting some fun (and functional) specialized accessories for your Jeep today!

Truck Tool Boxes are a necessity for most contractors, but they can also be useful for weekend handymen as well. They’re a great way to get all your most important tools organized and in one place. There are many different kinds of toolboxes: single lid, dual lid, side-mount, underbed, and low profile, just to name a few. The standard toolbox is usually considered to be the single-lid crossover. Delta’s steel single-lid crossover can be opened from both sides and has a convenient compartmented lift-out tray. It’s a great economical option for those who want a basic truck toolbox.

If you’re concerned about losing visibility out your truck’s rear window, a Truck Tool Boxes Low Profile is the perfect type for you. It sits lower in your pickup truck bed, eliminating visibility problems. Deflecta Shield’s Seal Tite Low Profile also has an automotive-grade rotary latch with T-handle and two industrial-grade gas struts. It has a removable plastic tool tray, which makes organizing and locating smaller tools easier, as well as a push button locking system with interior latch release.

An underbody Truck Toolbox is located underneath the truck bed rather than inside of it. This location has two main benefits: it leaves more room in your truck bed and is easier to access from the ground. The Phoenix Underbody Slider Series patented design also features a door that slides up and back into the toolbox instead of opening downward, like most underbody models. This makes it easier to lift out heavy jacks, chains, and other tools. Whichever model you decide is best, get it installed and organized. You’ll be amazed how much time you save when you know exactly where all your tools are!

The New Year always presents a good excuse to sort through all your old stuff. Donate, sell, or pitch your little used possessions and organize whatever is left. People often focus on clothes, books, and other household objects while completely ignoring an entire room: the garage. The longer you ignore it, the messier it gets, and the cycle continues. So this year, avoid it no longer and get your garage cleaned up and organized.

A good start is a Jobox Utility Cabinet. Cabinets like these can keep all your tools and materials organized and protected. They come in a variety of sizes and are made of heavily-reinforced 16-gauge steel. All corners of the door frame have 7-inch steel gusset reinforcements that add extra rigidity.  Each door is 3-inches deep and is formed on all sides for superior strength that will resist break-ins. The doors come with built-in shelves, which are perfect for storing smaller items, and open with a hand or foot operated latch release.

Another great organizational tool is the system of Go Rhino Garage Organizers. One of the easiest was to stay organized is to have a designated spot for everything, making it easy to find exactly what you need and to remember where it goes when you are finished. The Go Rhino system can easily accomplish this goal because it includes numerous specialized shelves, bins, and racks. There are specialized holders for aerosol cans, oil quarts, flashlights, duct tape rolls, extension cords, and spark plugs. In addition, there are different sizes of shelves and storage bays that can be arranged in a customized configuration. Also of note is the lockable organizer, which may be a good place to keep dangerous chemicals. Most of these organizers are available in red and white powdercoat, and some are available in black as well. Use one color for cohesion or use all three and have color-coded areas to group similar items.

Finally, if you do a lot of work in your garage, you may want to invest in Foam Floor Pads. They are used to improve comfort on concrete floors. The foam gives you a nice little cushion to stand on so your feet and knees aren’t pressing down on hard concrete for extended periods. The pads come in 1 ft. square interlocking tiles, which can be arranged in multiple configurations. Each pack contains 16 tiles, which can make a 16×1 ft. strip, an 8×2 ft. rectangle, or a 4×4 ft. square. You can also use multiple packages to cover a greater area, and to customize your tiles to your specific space. Tiles are lightweight and easy to clean. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you in transforming your garage into an efficient and organized work space. Now, once spring comes, you won’t have to waste time with “Spring Cleaning”, you can jump right into the first project!
