Truck Accessories Tool Box

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!

Owens Scout Series Single-Lid Low Profile Crossover Truck Tool Boxes

There are many reasons to install a tonneau cover on your truck. They keep your cargo in and precipitation out, while adding a stylish look. Did you know that they can also save you money? Tonneau Covers reduce tailgate drag which translates to more miles-per-gallon, and fewer dollars spent on gas. Some tonneau models can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 8%, especially in highway driving!
There are a number of different types of truck tonneau covers available. Each offers different advantages, so do a little research to determine which tonneau is right for you. One popular kind is a Snap Tonneau, which snaps on for ultimate protection from the elements. Torza’s Snap model also integrates heavy-duty rails and a frame mounting system for easy installation and long-lasting protection. It also has spring-loaded corners that adjust automatically with weather changes.
When convenience and accessibility is a top priority, consider a Hinged Tonneau Cover. Lund’s Genesis Hinged model gives easy access to the entire bed. It uses heavy-duty gas struts so you can open and close the truck tonneau cover with only one hand! It also has the “Slam-N-Scram Latch” for instant latching when closing the cover.
A roll up tonneau cover can be rolled all the way to the front of the bed, making your whole bed accessible quickly. It can also come in handy when you need to transport larger cargo, since the tonneau can be rolled up to maximize your space, without having to be completely removed. Lund’s Roll Up Tonneau Cover offers these benefits as well as an easy-no drill installation, and quick-release real rail for quicker opening and closing.  This model also features a rubber seal on both front and rear rails to form a solid barrier and dual automatic latches for extra security.
So, whether it’s a snap, hinge, roll up, or other kind of tonneau cover that is right for your truck, remember to use it as much as possible after purchase  to increase your fuel efficiency and save money!

Lund Roll Up Tonneau Covers

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.

Lund Genesis Hinged Tonneau Cover

Every contractor needs a truck but could do without the fuel economy woes. Two things that can really help increase your truck’s gas mileage are Tonneau Covers and Tailgate Nets. Tonneau Covers are great because not only do they help save on fuel, they also keep your bed covered, thus keeping your tools, and etc. out of sight. But if you need an open bed and still want to save money on gas; then why not try a Tailgate Net. They are cheap easy to install.

Now that we have that covered; what about storage… You know how expensive your tools are and also how nice it is to be able to find that certain tool, as soon as you need it. A Truck Tool Box does this and more. Truck Tool Boxes help in many ways: 1) Keep your tools secure, 2) Keep your tools dry and out of the weather, 3) Keep your tools organized, 4) Keep you tools from sliding and bouncing around in your truck bed and 5) Keep your tools out of site from those wondering eyes.

Now you have to make a decision about which brand and type of toolbox you’ll need. There are several brands to choose from. Some quality brand names are Owens, Delta, Jobox, Challenger, Phoenix and Deflecta-Shield.

Once you decide which brand, you’ll have to figure out what type of toolbox or toolboxes you will need. You have many types and configurations to choose from. First you have your basic Single-Lid Crossover, then you have a few different styles of Dual-Lid Crossovers. You can compliment these with Topsides or Sidemounts which will give you, what some people call a “Saddle Bag” look. A nice big Chest could go where the crossovers do, which would give you a large amount of storage. Now of course, each of these tool boxes come in deep, narrow, low profile and etc. characteristics (making it more difficult for you to decide what exact toolbox is right for you). If you drive a Tow Truck or similar, then you need an underbed tool box. These are great for storing chains, gloves, tools and everything else you’ll need for the job. How about if you work on a farm or do a lot of ATVing. ATV Storage Boxes are perfect for hauling all of your valuable gear around. Or, what if you pull a trailer; then a Trailer Utility Box is what you need. All of these boxes are made in different sizes so that there is sure to be one to fit your needs well.

Okay, now that hopefully you’ve narrowed down why you need a tool box and the different types available, you have to decide what finish would be best for your application and look that you desire. The four finishes are Steel, Aluminum, Plastic and Stainless Steel. They all look great but if you have a truck with a lot of chrome on it then you’d probably want a Diamond Plate Aluminum or Stainless Steel Box. Steel is available in Black or White. Diamond Plate Aluminum is available in Black or Diamond Brite. Stainless Steel is that mirror like finish and Plastic boxes are available in black.

This gives you a quick rundown of the different types of Tool Boxes available. The only type of box left out is Job Site Boxes, sometimes called Security Cabinets. Most are constructed of heavy-duty steel and come available in brown or yellow.
