Truck Accessories Tool Box

The winter holidays are over, and New Year’s has come and gone. After running around buying gifts, visiting family, and ringing in the New Year, I’m ready for a break: maybe a weekend winter getaway. Pack up the skis, snowboards, and snowmobiles, and spend some time relaxing and enjoying the snow. Getting everything loaded into your truck is easy if you have the right accessories. For example, skis and snowboards can be easily stowed in a Mont Blanc Ski Rack. This rack has universal mounting brackets to fit all OEM roof racks with cross rails that are fewer than 3.25-inches wide. It features oversize release levers, which make opening the rack extremely easy, even while wearing bulky gloves. It also has rubber inserts to protect cargo from damage and locks to fend off would-be thieves. This ski rack can carry 4 pairs of skis or two snowboards, freeing up room in your trunk or truck bed.

You probably need all the room you can get in your truck bed if you’re bringing along a snow mobile. Bestop had you in mind when they invented their Truck Bed Extender. With the extender, you can fold down your tailgate, allowing up to 2 feet of extra length, while still securing the snowmobile or other cargo in your truck bed.  It’s easily installed and removed, and is made of light-weight aluminum alloy tubes with rugged glass-reinforced nylon. A Motoxtender is also available for short beds, and is designed specifically for smaller trucks. The Truck Bed Extender and Motoxtender are proudly made in the USA.

Another useful accessory for snowmobilers is a Loading Ramp. Highland’s Ramparts Tri-Fold model is a great example. It is manufactured from rust and corrosion resistant welded aluminum. It has a full-width top plate, which provides a smooth transition to the truck bed, as well as an extra-wide surface that can accommodate multiple load sizes. This ramp also comes with a stabilizing crossbar for support and a quick-set up. It is made in the USA and has a 3-year limited warranty. So pack up your ski equipment, your snowmobile, and your family, and go out and enjoy all this post-holiday winter season has to offer!

Lately, in the news, there has been talk of a second stimulus that would include more money for highway and bridge construction. Add this to the previous stimulus that focused heavily on “shovel ready” construction projects, and it’s clear that the construction industry and its contractors need to be ready for new projects. That means contractors’ vehicles need to be ready too. Are you prepared? One essential for construction contractors is a cab guard to keep your truck cab safe from the materials you haul in your truck bed. Backrack, a Canadian company, manufactures a line of cab guards that are suitable for your needs.

Backrack’s classic model, the Back Rack, has two thick vertical bars and two intersecting flat bars. It is made of oiled steel for a smooth, sturdy look and finished in a black powdercoat. The Back Rack is designed to fit with many different accessories including light kits, toolboxes, and bed liners. Its design also makes it easy to secure cargo.

Another Headache Truck Rack option is the Safety Rack. This product differs from the cab guard in a few key ways. It offers more protection by having a sturdy, metal grid cover the entire rear cab window. A smaller piece of cargo, such as a 2×4, may still be able to crack or break a rear window even with a cab guard in place. However, the Safety Rack’s design leaves no large spaces of uncovered glass, eliminating this possibility. However, it offers less versatility, as it does not fit as many kinds of accessory light brackets. It also is more difficult to secure cargo to. Be sure you weigh these advantages and disadvantages when choosing between the Safety Rack and the Back Rack.

An additional Backrack accessory that can make hauling ladders, posts, or other long loads easier is the Rear Bar. This is a bar that attaches to the rear of your truck, by dropping into the rear stake pockets. It can easily be removed and will not interfere with the use of your truck’s tailgate. So take a look at these great Contractor Racks and make your truck “shovel ready” or at least ready to haul shovels.

Christmas is a time of tradition. Each family has its own way: heading to the store to buy an artificial, boxed tree (or pulling their old tree out of the garage or basement).  For others, it’s time to head to the local Christmas tree lot to pick out a live tree. The more adventurous among us may even drive a little further and cut down our tree each year. However you bring home your tree, it’s important to keep your truck protected (though admittedly you have less to worry about with a boxed tree) from scratches and other damage a pine tree can cause.

The perfect solution is a Truck Bed Liner. STK’s Line-A-Bed Bed Liners are custom designed so they have a perfect factory fit. They are made of high-density polyethylene and have a ribbed floor pattern, which allows for better drainage. This ribbed design also creates more cushioning to protect against denting. These bed liners keep cargo (like Christmas tree boxes!) secure with molded-in supports that allow two tiered stacking and an “SR” skid-resistant surface. Hardware and tailgate protector are included and the liner is covered by a lifetime warranty.

BedRug also makes a great line of Bed Liners called BedTred. These bed liners are made of 1/4–inch TPO composite bonded to a layer of water-proof, closed-cell foam. Their custom fit conforms to the contours and shape of your tuck bed and their textured surface prevents cargo from sliding. Factory tie downs are still accessible and usable, which will come in handy when tying down your tree. Installation is easy and requires no prepping, drilling, or sanding. Now unload your tree, stand it up, and move on to step two: Decorating.

Much like the selection of trees, every family has their own way of decorating. Lights: white, colored, or a mix of both; Garland: gold tinsel, silver beads, ribbon, or even popcorn; Ornaments: themes, mishmash, glass, wooden, homemade, store-bought, etc. One thing we can all agree on is what goes under the tree: presents! How are you going to get them all home? If your truck bed has a cap, then it’s easy, otherwise, a Tonneau Cover may be the right choice for you. A tonneau will keep your bed and its cargo protected from inclement weather and prying eyes. Lund’s Genesis Tri-Fold is a top-quality tonneau that is made of tear-resistant, high-quality, double-sided fabric. Its rails and bows have strong, rigid extrusions, and its easy use clamps provide tension and security. It installs in less than two minutes and folds in thirds for easy-access. Now, if you can just transfer those gifts from truck to house without any peeking, you’ll be ready for Christmas!

This year, more than ever, people are looking for great value when shopping for the holidays. Due to the current economic conditions, we all have a little less to spend, and we want it to go further. Great quality for lower prices is a common mantra, but unfortunately, we do not all have the time to do hours of research to find the greatest deal.  Thankfully, some retailers have thought ahead and prepared buyers guides for their customers. Buyers guides explain the intricacies of specific products and often give advantages and disadvantages to make comparing products easier. They can be especially helpful when shopping online because you cannot hold the product in your hand or ask a salesperson for advice.

For example, if a relative or friend would like protection for their pickup truck bed you can read through the buyers guide on Truck Bed Liners to determine if a liner is what they are looking for. Liners cover the surface of the truck bed and protect the bed from scratches and general wear from shifting cargo. Perhaps this is not the sort of protection they need, they are more concerned about keeping their truck bed free of leaves and snow. If this is the case, a tonneau cover is the answer. There are quite a few different types: Seal & Peel (great for extreme climates), Hinged (quick, easy access to truck beds), and Roll-Up Tonneau Covers (roll up securely to allow truck bed’s full use). Check out the various buyers guides for more tonneau information! Another popular gift idea is a Truck Bed Toolbox, which securely stores tools for any handyman or woman. Crossover, Low Profile, and Side Truck Boxes are some of the varieties that are further explained in the buyers guides. It’s easy to get great value with a little bit of research and buyers guides are a good place to start!

They are also fade resistant, and do not retain water, so liquids won’t seep in and leave your truck at risk for rust.  The foam bottom won’t scratch your truck bed’s paint job, and gives the liner a little extra cushion, making it easier on your knees. They also provide a great sleeping surface when camping. The truck liners install very easily, with no power tools needed!

The BedRug Truck Bed Mat is made of 100% polypropylene that is durable even with heavy cargo or inclement weather. It can also accommodate fragile loads with its thick carpet-like foam, and even provides a great place to sit.

Both are easy to install and can be removed quickly for cleaning. You can also add the optional tailgate mat for more coverage and protection.

BedRug’s Van Cargo Mat is made of an anti-skid, durable, regrind rubber and has an under layer of poly closed cell foam. The rubber layer offers great traction and keeps cargo from moving around and damaging your van. The foam layer adds extra cushion for your cargo and provides a soft feel. These van mats are die-cut for clean edges and are cut resistant. They are completely waterproof and easy to clean.

Tonneau covers are a smart option for your truck. Sometimes called tono cover or truck bed cover. The word tonneau comes originally from the French - meaning cask, container, or cover. Tonneau Covers usually have a rich black leather look and are made from vinyl. Many different styles are available from many different manufacturers.

Lund International manufactures Lund Genesis Tonneau Covers. These truck bed covers are available in 5 different styles. Snap, Velcro, Seal and Peel, Hinged and Tri Fold.

Snap Tonneau is usually thought of as the most basic. Years ago they would drill holes in the pickup and screw in the snaps for the cover. This led to rust and corrosion and quickly became unpopular. Now, snap tonneau covers come with a rail that sits on top of the trucks bed rail. This rail contains the snaps so no drilling is required.

Seal and Peel offers a unique and quick way to open and close your cover much faster than the traditional snap tonneau covers.

Velcro became popular because you can roll up the cover and fit large objects in your truck bed with ease.

Hinged Tonneau Covers are great because they offer easy opening and closing of the cover. You can even put stuff in your bed with one hand.

Lund Genesis Tri Fold is probably the most popular Lund Tonneau Cover. This cover comes completely assembled and will install in less than 2 minutes. The quick-release cam-action allows you to open and close your cover in seconds and also keeps the cover taught and secure.

Of course all covers help you to Save Money on Gas, keep your stuff dry and secure and add a custom look to your truck.
