Achieve Total Cargo Area Organization with the Cargo-Logic System

Posted by Truck Man @ 5:04 pm, March 1st, 2010

The cargo area of your SUV can get pretty messy. Anything that you don’t want dirtying up your seats usually gets tossed back into the cargo area, but what if you want that area to stay organized and clean too? Nifty has designed the perfect system to achieve that very goal. It’s called Cargo-Logic, and it features liners, loks, and totes to protect your cargo area from dirt, spills, and general disorder.

Cargo-Logic Cargo Liners are durable, stain-proof mats that are designed to fit your specific SUVs cargo area. They look and feel like carpet, but are extra durable and feature a heavy-duty thermoplastic liner to protect from dirt, snow, water, and other liquids. The liners are very easy to clean: just hose off and let dry. They are scuff and scratch resistant, pet-friendly, and have a limited lifetime warranty against cracking and splitting. A raised outer lip contains spills, and if you want to reduce the likelihood of spills altogether, use Nifty Cargo-Logic Cargo Loks! Cargo Loks can be used to stabilized just about anything you have in your cargo area. Their bottoms have Velcro hooks, which will attach anywhere on the cargo liner and hold securely. This keeps cargo from colliding, sliding, and tipping over.  Two loks come with each cargo liner, and additional loks can be purchased separately.

You can keep everything orderly and upright with Cargo-Logic Totes. Made of water-resistant black material, these totes can keep groceries or other supplies organized and easily transportable. The totes have rigid plastic inner panels to maintain a rectangular shape and removable dividers to easily compartmentalize. Four bags of groceries fit perfectly, and using the two carrying handles, you can move all of your groceries from your SUV to your counter in one trip! Cargo-Logic totes fold up flat, so they won’t take up space when not in use, but they easily pop out when needed. So lay down your Cargo-Logic liner, fill your Cargo-Logic tote, and put a Lok at each corner (or push against the back seat and you’ll only need two loks) and see how orderly and tidy your cargo area can be.

Inhibit Injury to Interiors with Floor Protectors

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:06 pm, February 18th, 2010

Last week 49 of the 50 states had snow on the ground. Snow on the ground means snow (and salt!) on your shoes, which can be tracked into your car, damaging your vehicle’s carpeting. Once the snow starts melting, slush and mud are the usual culprits. So how can you protect your auto from all this moisture, mud, and salt? Invest in some quality floor protection to keep your carpets safe, clean, and looking like new!

Nifty’s Catch-It Floor Mats are an ideal form of protection. They are constructed of Vyram, a tough material that resists mud, snow, and chemicals. They have a series of raised blocks along the sides to scrape debris off your shoes, and central drip channels to direct liquids to the bottom of the mat, away from your shoes and clothing. A raised lip keeps the liquid from spilling onto your vehicle’s carpet. Catch It Mats are very easy to clean, just rinse off with a hose. They are custom molded to fit specific vehicles and come in black, gray, and tan.

If you like the carpeted look, Nifty has a different product that will fit your needs. The Catch All is just as resilient as the Catch It, but has a plush OE nylon carpet surface, so it will blend into your vehicle’s interior. These floor guards are custom molded to match your vehicle make, model, and year, providing a perfect fit. Catch Alls have a moisture barrier that prevents seepage, and an electronically welded heel pad (on driver’s side) for extra durability. The floor guards also have a patented snap fastener system to keep them securely in place. The Catch All offers great protection and great style, is available in three colors, and is made in the USA.

It’s also a good idea to protect your vehicle’s cargo area. After some slides down the hill or a romp with your dog, you don’t want a snowy sled or pet ruining your rear carpeting. Highland All Weather Mats are the perfect solution. The cargo mats are super durable and will not stiffen or crack. They have a textured surface to trap snow and dirt and to keep cargo from sliding. The cargo mats also have multiple raised lips to keep moisture and grime on the mat, not spilling over the edges onto your carpet. They are available in black tan or gray, and are made in the USA.

Last-Minute Gift Ideas from BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com

Posted by Truck Man @ 9:35 pm, December 17th, 2009

Christmas is only a week and a day away, so you’re running out of time to find the perfect present. For all you procrastinators, BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com is here to help! Check out their guide “Great Gift Ideas Under $100” for all sorts of car and Truck Accessories Gift Ideas. Splash guards, hitch covers, car mats, even wings; you’ll be surprised how many different products can be found at under $100.  Some of the more popular items are described below.

Hammer Head manufactures a line of sports plates that can be a great gift for any sports fan! They offer a variety of NFL, MLB, NBA, and collegiate teams with hand-tooled detailing for an exceptional look. They are precision crafted and engineered for durability. I do have to warn you though, that can only be used in the 20 or so states that require only rear-mounted license plates. If your sports fan does not live in one of these states, he or she may still value the sport plate as a collectible, but will not be able to use it on an auto.

CCI’s Universal Car Floor Mats are another great value. Since these are universal mats they don’t have the custom fit of some other types of floor mats, but they also come at a much lower price. You also will not need to make a random inquiry into the model and year of the recipient’s car, which may tip them off as to the type of gift they are getting. The mats are sold in 4-piece sets and come in seven different colors, including hard-to-find red and blue. They have sharp nibs on back to prevent the mats from rolling up, and the driver’s side mat comes with a side heel pad.

Wolo’s Backup Alarm can be a fun little stocking stuffer (especially the alarm with the bird chirping sound!), but it can also be a life saving piece of equipment. It makes a beeping or bird chirping sound (depending on the model) whenever the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This can alert pedestrians or other drivers who are not paying attention, to surrounding traffic, and can potentially save someone’s life. It also may help you out if you accidentally shift into the wrong gear: the sound or absence of sound will alert you to your error and can avert an accident like driving into your garage door when you think you are backing out. Sound like anyone you know, or maybe even yourself? Then this alarm may be the perfect gift.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals

Posted by Truck Man @ 1:53 pm, November 25th, 2009

The holidays are finally here! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Christmas is only a month away. The “Christmas Creep” moves up every year, but I always wait until after Thanksgiving to start my Christmas shopping. This is partially because I tend to get Scrooge-like if I’m forced to have Christmas spirit in October and also because waiting until after Thanksgiving always yields the best deals. As you all know, the Friday after Thanksgiving is known as “Black Friday”, and it’s when stores try to get you in that giving spirit by making huge price cuts to reel you in. The following Monday is typically referred to as “Cyber Monday” as this is when online retailers typically have their big deals available. Whether you’re a Black Friday bargain hunter, Cyber Monday deal finder, or a little of both, it can’t hurt to check out all the great deals at BuyAutoTruckAccesories.com.

Car Floor Mats may seem less flashy than the newest electronic gadget (and they are), but they can be a perfect gift for a practical person who wants their auto to stay in great shape. Anyone who works outdoors, has kids in outdoor sports, tends to be a bit accident prone with their on-the-go drinks, or is simply a neat-freak will benefit from some Highland All-Weather Mats. They stand up to the harshest weather conditions and are unaffected by gas, oil, or mud, or the occasional latte. Their durable, pliable rubber won’t crack or stiffen, and it’s backed by a 100-year warranty. These mats conform to fit the contour of your floor, and have a raised outer lip to keep dirt and liquids on the mats and off your carpet. They are easy to install and remove and have anti-skid spikes to prevent mats from slipping. They are available in black, gray, and tan, and with 4000 applications, they probably have your model covered.

Any do-it-yourselfers on your list? A great gift for them is a nice, durable Toolbox. It’s important to have the right tools when you need them, and to keep your trusty tools safe and protected. Owens is a leading manufacturer of pickup and stand-alone boxes. They are known for being sturdy and durable. Their Garrison Series is very popular, in particular their Diamond Tread Tote model. This toolbox is lightweight, so it’s easy to carry, and has easy locking latches, so it’s easy to get in and out of. It also features hemmed edges and a comfortable gripping handle. It comes in three sizes: 16-inch, 24-inch, and 30-inch.

For anyone who loves their vehicle and hates scraping windows, look into a Torza WeatherBuster Windshield Cover. It puts a layer of protection between your windshield and frost as well as shading and reflecting the heat from your vehicle’s interior. It is made from polyester fabric and silver aluminum mylar film and is guaranteed not to rip, tear, or crack. It installs in as little as ten seconds and has a patented theft-protection design. It’s custom fit and provides protection in all types of weather, and will not stick to your windshield. Hopefully these tips have given you a few gift ideas, and you’re ready to get started on your shopping. Enjoy your Turkey Day, then get going on your countdown to Christmas!

Dog Days of Summer - What Now?

Posted by Truck Stuff @ 12:20 pm, August 5th, 2008

Now that we are into the Dog Days of Summer, it is time to start thinking about what follows. If your kid(s) are going to college then you need to plan out how you are going to get all of their stuff back to school. This is when a hitch basket comes in handy. If you have a roof rack, then a roof basket is ideal because it can hold all of your stuff. If you need to keep everything dry and secure then a roof top box would probably be better. Valley Industries makes quality towing and cargo products and carry everything listed above.

But what if you have younger children…. You know you will be driving them back and forth to the soccer and/or football fields. A cargo net will probably come in handy as well as floor guards. Remember how the mud just accumulates on your vehicle’s carpet. Floor mats and guards keep your carpet like new, plus, you can just pull out the guards and hose them down. Nifty Catch All Xtreme mats really do the trick.

Before you know it, it will be fall and it usually tends to be rainy and foggy. This is when fog or driving lights come in to play. Hella makes some really great lights which will increase your comfort level when driving the kids around. Rain Guards, of course, are a no brainer. They are useful for any season; always keeping the rain and weather out while letting the fresh air in.
