Add Some Shine in a Flash with Chrome Accessories

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:29 pm, October 29th, 2009

If you’d like to add a little style to your car without spending a fortune, consider upgrading to chrome. Many car and truck accessories are available in a chrome finish, which is sleeker and more durable. BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com offers over 50 different Chrome Accessories, so you can change your vehicle’s look in a variety of ways.

CCI is a leading manufacturer of Chrome Truck Accessories. They produce trim for headlights, taillights, fenders, and windows. CCI also makes snap-on wheel skins that give you a more stylin’ look in seconds! AVS manufactures great bug shields and vent visors that protect your vehicle from bugs and rain while adding some extra shine. You could also change out your boring gas doors or side mirrors for some new, shiny chrome accents. If you’re looking to really amp up your shine, think about adding highly polished rocker panels to your vehicle’s sides. To make a big statement in the front, check out Precision Grille’s billet grilles, available in twelve different styles.

Another easy way to make a big impact is to add Chrome Door Handle Covers. CCI’s door handles are triple chrome plated and require no cutting, drilling, or removal of factory handles. They’re custom fit to the contours of your vehicle and are available for most makes and models. Complete the look by adding CCI tailgate handle covers and Highland truck grab handles. So whether you want to add a few shiny touches, or make your car or truck the flashiest on the block, remember that chrome accessories are the way to go.

Take A Step Up with Running Boards

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:35 pm, October 26th, 2009

If you or one of your passengers needs a little help climbing into your truck or SUV, then running boards may be the perfect solution for you! Running Boards provide a nice stable surface to step up onto, while giving your vehicle a unique, rugged look. Owens manufactures a great set of running boards that are constructed of molded ABS plastic and have a step-tread to avoid slipping. They are reinforced with galvanized steel for superior strength and support and both boards and end caps are UV protected. They come in a variety of lengths and can be painted to match the factory color of your vehicle.

If you need the function of running boards but don’t care for their appearance, take a look at Bestop’s Power Step Running Boards. These running boards fold up behind the vehicle’s rocker panels when not in use! When you open your vehicle’s door, an electronic signal activates the running boards and they extend outward. Closing the door sends another signal to retract the boards. These boards are wide and flat and extend outward 10 to 12 inches when in use, which provides a much more natural step when entering and exiting the vehicle. The Power Step uses a heavy-duty motor with anti-pinch technology that has been rated for use in extreme temperatures and weather conditions. The boards are made of painted aluminum and can hold 600 lbs. They are textured for a no-slip surface and are corrosion resistant. They come complete with wiring, mounting hardware, and installation instructions.

If you want a slightly different look, you might be interested in Nerf Bars, which can be used as a step in lieu of running boards. SteelCraft manufactures a great model that is available in high-quality polished stainless steel or black aluminum powdercoat finish. It features custom polyethylene step pads for maximum slip-resistance. No drilling is required, as the nerf bars use custom mounting brackets that are bolted on.

BedRug’s Complete Line Now Available at BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:16 pm, October 19th, 2009

BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com now carries the complete BedRug line! BedRug makes high-quality mats and liners for trucks and vans. Their liners and mats are vehicle specific and thus follow the shape and contours of your vehicle to provide a snug, custom fit. Universal mats will not provide the same protection so check out the entire BedRug line for better fitting truck and van protection.
BedRug Bed Liners are made of 100% close cell polypropylene fiber that is bonded to polypropylene foam. They look and feel like carpet but are more durable and protective. They are unaffected by bleach, oil, gas, acids, and other chemicals, so you can haul any kind of cargo without worrying about damaging your liner. 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. The bed mats come in two different styles: one is designed specially for trucks that have a drop-in plastic bed liner, and the other is made for trucks without a bed liner, or with a spray-in liner. 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.

Beat Salt Buildup with Mud Flaps

Posted by Truck Man @ 2:32 pm, October 15th, 2009

The first snowfall of the season is fast approaching, and for some of you it has already happened. In most areas of the country, snow means salt and salt means buildup on your car or truck. Thus, it is the perfect time to invest in Mud Flaps to keep your vehicle better protected from salt damage. Mud flaps keep sticks, rocks, and other debris from flying up and hitting your vehicle’s body, keeping it cleaner and minimizing damage to its paint job. They also prevent road debris from hitting surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, reducing your liability. There are many available brands and styles of Mud Guards available so take a look and find the right product for your auto.

Three notable styles are ICI’s Mud Flaps, Owens Single Wheel Mud Flaps, and Powerflow’s Big Mudder Splash Guards. ICI Mud Flaps feature a custom molded contoured design made of injected molded plastic.  They come with stainless steel inserts for added protection and style. They are easy to install and come with vehicle specific brackets. ICI Mud Flaps all meet DOT requirements.

Owens Single Wheel Mud Flaps are made from thick durable rubber with diamond tread or stainless steel inserts. They install with minor drilling and measure 12-inches by 18-inches. They are a universal application and fit all vehicles.

Powerflow’s Big Mudder Splash Guards come in three sizes and feature a universal fit that is suitable for both front and rear tires. They are molded from heavy-duty rubber that will not crack or discolor, and have a rugged diamond plate look. They are extra-long for additional coverage and protection and extra-wide for oversized tires and wheels. They are easy to install and come with mounting hardware and installation instructions. You can also upgrade your look with optional stainless steel accents.

Keep Man’s Best Friend Safe in a Sturdy, Secure Dog Box

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:59 pm, October 13th, 2009

What do you do when you need to take your dog on the road with you, but there’s no room in your pickup’s cab?  The answer is simple: put the dog in your pickup bed. I see plenty of people doing this every day, however it’s really not the safest option. Dogs can easily jump or be thrown out of moving vehicles, and it can be tough on poor Fido to be out in the elements without protection. That’s why you should really consider getting a Dog Box. Dog boxes are made out of metal to make them extra durable and prevent chewing. They are easily secured to your pickup truck, so even in a collision your animal will stay secured. They have full metal sides, which makes them much more protective than regular cages or crates. Owens is a leading manufacturer of Dog Boxes and has several models available.

Their K9 Transport model is available in single or double compartments with a variety of configurations. They are made of sturdy aluminum so they will not rust or rot. The inside is insulated and lined with durable corrugated plastic, which keeps your pet cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The rear air vent is adjustable for maximum ventilation, and door covers can be attached in winter or inclement weather. The K9 Transport is easy to clean out and can also be disassembled and reassembled quickly for maximum convenience.

Owens’s Pro Hunter Series is a great option for anyone who brings their dog hunting. This premium Hunting Dog Box comes with stainless steel paddle latches that will not rust or corrode and premium spring-loaded, no-rattle handles. It also features a lockable bottom storage compartment that is perfect for hunting gear. The large dog compartments feature wider vents and a flow-through ventilation system to maximize your pet’s comfort. Select models also have 4-season oversize vents.
Owens also manufactures a “Do-It-Yourself” Aluminum Dog Box available in two sizes.  The kit comes with heavy-gauge aluminum corners, two standard vents, and a welded, rigid door frame. It also features flush mount, lockable slam latches to keep doors securely shut. You can also purchase front door vent covers to keep your dog warmer in the winter months. So next time you need to travel with pets keep them comfortable and safe in and Owens Dog Box.

Owens Truck Tool Boxes are the Smart Choice for Safety & Quality

Posted by Truck Man @ 3:46 pm, October 8th, 2009

I always feel more comfortable when using my own tools. That’s why it’s important to me to have a Truck Tool Box, so I can take my tools with me wherever I go. Truck tool boxes safely and securely store your tools, so they are ready whenever and wherever you need them. If your job requires tool use daily, then tool boxes are an obvious necessity. However, they can also be convenient for the “weekend handyman”. Whether you’re assisting a buddy with a home-repair project, helping a friend move, or taking the family on a camping trip, having a suitable and secure place to tote all your tools in your truck can be extremely beneficial.
Once you’ve decided to purchase a tool box for your truck, it’s time to consider all of your options. There are many manufacturers and styles of Tool Boxes to choose from. Owens is a premier manufacturer of truck tool boxes. They are well-known for making durable, reliable products right here in the USA. Their Scout Series boxes offer great products at great prices. They have a three piece basket design with fully-welded seams for maximum load strength, and their basket and lid edges are hemmed to eliminate sharp edges. Scout tool boxes also come with a removable heavy-duty tool tray that will not sag with use. They feature dome-style lid locks and a closed cell PVC gasket to keep your tools safe and protected. The Scout Series comes in multiple styles including Gull Wing, which opens on both sides for easy-access, and the Low–Profile Truck Box, which sits lower to increase rear window view.
Owen’s Garrison Series is a more upscale series of tool boxes, providing a higher quality. They have a three piece basket designs, fully-welded seams, and hemmed edges, like the Scout Series, but also come with a reinforced lid with foam inserts. Additionally, they feature heavy-duty automotive-style struts as well as full length hinges made of heavy-duty aluminum. Garrison models also have a protected latching system, which makes the tool box easy to open from either side. So remember, when you need to keep your tools convenient and safe no matter where you go, to consider investing in an Owens Tool Box. You won’t be disappointed!

A Rear Spoiler Wing adds Pizzazz to Your Ride!

Posted by Truck Man @ 2:28 pm, October 5th, 2009

If you want to give your car a sportier look while boosting its performance capabilities, a rear spoiler is the perfect addition. Rear spoilers affect (“spoil”) the flow of air around the vehicle’s body. This effect increases stability and decreases drag, leading to better vehicle performance and decreased fuel consumption.
Rear Spoilers and Rear Spoiler Wings are available in a variety of materials and styles. MVS Wings makes their wings out of superior quality blow molded plastic, which produces a more lightweight and durable product than using a fiberglass mold. MVS Wings can also be custom painted to exactly match the color of your auto. They are easy to install and come with instructions and a mounting kit.
MVS Wings come in different models: give them all a look to determine what style best fits your needs. Factory Style is your basic Factory Rear Spoiler that follows the manufacturer’s specifications for a uniform look. Custom Style Rear Spoilers give an alternative, “custom” look, while still keeping a more mainstream appearance. The Radical Style wings offer a more dramatic look that will make your car stand out. They come in a mid-style for a little extra flair and full-style for the ultimate unconventional appearance. All styles are guaranteed to be free of defects in material and workmanship, so you’ll be receiving a superior product no matter which model you chose!
