Pickup Truck Accessories
from: Jean FeingoldNo matter what make of pickup truck you own, chances are you
want to change it from the way the factory supplied it. Whether
you use your vehicle for work, off-road play or some of both,
you can find performance parts, accessories and customization
products to make your pickup truck unique. When you want your
pickup truck to look and perform better, accessories will help
you customize it.
While it's possible to get some accessories from the Chevy, GMC,
Dodge, Ford, Jeep, Mazda, Nissan or Toyota dealer where you
bought your truck, you will find a much bigger selection of
items online. You may also get better bargains shopping this
way. Some popular makers of pickup truck accessories include
Lund, Westin, Dee Zee, Outland, Auto Ventshade, Warn, Saddleman,
Thule, PIAA, Vector, Wolo, Deflecta Shield, Pilot, Hoppy,
Grizzly and Protecta.
Exterior accessories
There are many types of exterior pickup truck accessories to
enhance the appearance of the outside of your truck. They
include air dams, bras and masks, bug shields, bumpers, fender
flares, graphics and emblems, grille guards, hood ornaments,
hoods and scoops, mirrors, racks and cargo accessories, roll
pans, running boards, splash guards, tool boxes, truck steps,
tire covers, visors, wings and spoilers and wiper cowls. Select
items that will complement your truck's basic lines and that
will work well together instead of looking cluttered.
Interior accessories
Installing interior accessories is all about improving the
comfort level when riding in your truck. Some examples are 12
volt accessories, cargo trays and liners, consoles and racks,
dash covers and trim, door accessories, floor mats, horns,
instrument panel covers, pet accessories, seat covers, seats and
steering wheel covers.
How about adding some electronics to enhance your ride? Choices
include CBs and scanners, cruise controls, GMRS radio, GPS and
navigation systems, power inverters, radar and laser detectors,
remote starters, security systems and antennas. You might also
want to upgrade the standard radio that came with your truck to
a stereo CD or satellite radio system.
Accessories cushion the load and improve the ride
Trucks are all about hauling things, so why not do it in style?
Pickup truck accessories for your truck bed include cargo
control, bed mats, bed liners, bed protection, bed rails,
tailgate accessories and tonneau covers. You might also want
towing accessories like hitch balls, hitch mounts, hitch covers,
hitch steps, hitch wiring, hitches, tow hooks and straps, towing
mirrors, winch accessories, winches and winch mounting systems.
By improving your pickup's suspension and brakes you make the
ride both smoother and safer. To do this, you might need
anti-sway bars, bars and arms, bushings and shackles, hubs, lift
kits, lowering kits, shocks and struts, skit plates and trusses
and springs. Adding more lighting not only improves the truck's
appearance, it also improves safety. Some typical lighting
pickup truck accessories are accent lighting, auxiliary
lighting, back-up lights, bulbs and lamps, driving and fog
lights, headlights, interior lights, light bars, light covers,
light guards, marker lights, neon lighting, spotlights,
taillights, tow lighting and wiring, turn signal lights and
warning lights.
Electrical and exhaust systems are essential
If your pickup won't start, it doesn't matter how good it looks.
If you've got this problem or fear it might happen, try buying
alternator accessories, battery accessories, battery chargers,
chassis wiring or jump start systems. If the problem is on the
exhaust end, you might need catalytic converters, exhaust
systems, exhaust tips and extensions, headers or mufflers.
To do all this work yourself, you'll need some tools and
equipment. Useful items include tire pressure gauges, car care
products, computer software, creepers and seats, diagnostic
equipment, engine hoists and stands, garage and parking
accessories, jacks, stands, ramps, paint, sanding materials and
abrasives.
And once your truck is tricked out to your heart's desire, get
out your camera. You're going to want to showoff your new,
improved truck to all of your friends.
