Holidays Are Over, How About A Winter Getaway?

Posted by Truck Man @ 11:26 am, January 5th, 2010

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!

Make things easy on yourself. You don’t want to try to muscle every single thing into your truck. It may be a great way to show off the first few times, but if you’re loading and unloading that thing all day long, or if you’re loading something big at the end of a busy day or a long trip, you will feel more frustrated than anything. A good truck ramp will put an end to that frustration. Show your strength in the gym or on the field. Let a Lund folding ramp make you better at loading.
