The Simple Way to Protect Your Truck or SUV

Posted by Truck Stuff @ 2:44 pm, October 7th, 2008

We all know that pickup truck bed liners are an excellent investment for your truck. They not only help protect your bed but prevent loads from shifting and sliding around. But, what about other types of protection.  Mud Flaps are probably the most inexpensive accessory that you could buy while doing a very good job at protecting your Truck or SUV. Splash Guards protects your vehicle’s body from stone chips, road debris, mud and everything else that fly’s off your tires while driving in all conditions.
BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com sells many different types and brand names of Mud Guards.
ICI Mud Flaps offer the perfect combination of an attractive trim accent with a functional flap that provides both great looks and protection. These flaps are custom molded contour, injection molded plastic with a stainless steel insert.

Best Truck Bed Protection Available

Posted by Truck Stuff @ 3:41 pm, August 13th, 2008

STK Line-A-Bed Drop-In Bed Liner is one of the best investments you could make for your Truck. Line-A-Bed Bedliner is loaded with features and delivers superior truck bed protection at an affordable price. Each STK Over-Rail and Under-Rail Bedliner is custom-designed for a factory perfect fit in domestic and import pickups. These Bedliners are molded of durable, high density polyethylene (thermoformed) with skid resistant technology, to last as long as your truck. The high-ribbed floor pattern is designed to promote drainage and create additional cushioning against denting – a feature that you don’t get with other types of bed protection. “SR” skid resistant technology helps keep loads secure and doesn’t wear off.

Every STK Line-A-Bed Features:

  • Lifetime Warranty
  • True Customized Fit on Every Model
  • Molded-In Supports for Two-Tier Stacking Help Keep Loads Secure
  • No Hardware Required for Under-the-Rail Bedliners (Liner Snaps into Place Under the Truck Rails)
  • No Assembly Required for Over-the-Rail Bedliners (Just Press Six SnapFast Clips into Pre-Slotted Holes)
  • Rich Black Finish
  • “SR” Skid Resistant Surface Helps Keep Loads Secure

Outlined below are some things to consider when comparing an STK drop-in bedliner to a spray-on bedliner.

- Protection from a Drop-In Bedliner
* Shock absorbing ribs (protection against dents, scrapes)
* Chemical resistant
* Thicker sidewalls
* Consistent thickness and hardness of liner material
* Protects paint finish, prevents rust
- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
* Prone to damage from dents
* Scrapes/abrasions can expose bare sheet metal
* Thickness dependent on application technique & skill of installer
* Truck bed must be damaged by sanding paint finish (if not done properly, rust will form)

- Skid Resistance and Cargo Control from a Drop-In Bedliner
* STK’s co-extruded skid resistant material is virtually wear proof
* Molded-in supports for 2-tier stacking and lock-in loading
- vs. Spray-In Bedliner
* Skid resistance may wear off from use
* UV inhibitor reduces skid resistance
* May prohibit use of original equipment features like 2-tier stacking

- Your Investment of a Drop-In Bedliner
* Considerably less expensive than spray-ons
* Better resale value/protects investment
* STK Nationwide Lifetime Limited Warranty
- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
* High cost (2-5 times more costly than drop-in bedliners)
* Costly UV inhibitor must be purchased and applied annually
* May reduce resale value
* Installation may void paint warranty
* May cause “excess wear” charges on leases

- The Durability of Drop-In Bedliner
* Tough, high density polyethylene
* Rich black finish is resistant to UV fading with no yearly maintenance
* Scratches in drop-in bedliner do not contribute to rust (protects factory finish)
- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
* Durability is dependent on the skill of the applicator
* Fading may occur without annual application of UV inhibitor
* Susceptible to dents and scratches which contribute to rust

- Ease of Use for a Drop-In Bedliner
* Quick installation
* Easily removed
* No drilling or paint removal
* Just plain easy!
- vs. a Spray-In Bedliner
* Difficult and time-consuming to install
* Permanent (cannot be removed)
* Must be installed by trained professional in a controlled environment

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.

Posted by Truck Stuff @ 7:15 pm, July 28th, 2008

Wheels are the one add-on that can dramatically change the look/presence of your car, truck or sport-utility-vehicle. Wheels come in all different sizes, looks and material. The main drawback is that they are very expensive. On the other hand; Wheel Skins (sometimes called hub caps) are designed to fit over your factory wheels and cost much less than custom wheels. Wheel Skins by CCI have all of the following feathers:
• Fits Like-a-Glove over the Vehicle’s Styled Steel or Alloy Wheel
• Transforms Styled Steel or Silver Alloy into Impressive and Expensive
Factory-Looking Chrome Wheels
• Constructed of Triple Chrome-Plated High Impact ABS
• “No Hassle” Installation Means No Wheel Weight Worries
• Inside Clip Retention – They Literally “Snap-To-Install”
• Easy to Maintain

Change the every day looking vehicle into a Custom Looking Hot Rod!

Tonneau Covers Protect Your Stuff

Posted by Vehicle Stuff @ 2:20 pm, May 28th, 2008

There’s nothing like a pickup for lugging around big stuff. All the things that can’t fit in your regular family sedan can easily be stowed in the back of your pickup. The only drawback though, is that as you are driving down the highway with a full load, you don’t want anything flying off into traffic. That is why a tonneau cover is essential. And if you are going to invest in a tonneau, you need to look at the Lund Genesis Hinged Tonneau Cover from buyautotruckaccessories.
