Staying in Top Form With Exterior Truck Accessories

2011-12-31T05:09:00.000-08:00

Any truck owner or enthusiast is without a doubt would like their trucks to look at its best all the time. They would like to maintain or level up the performance of their vehicles. One way to be able to accomplish this goal is to spend some money for the exterior truck accessories. Exterior truck accessories are those being installed on the outside part of the trucks. Most of the exterior accessories are not just installed on the truck to give an eye-catching look, but they really are of great importance.

Although trucks can run without them, exterior truck accessories are also of great importance because they aid in protecting the original parts of the rig from wear and tear. This is aside from the fact that it improves the looks of the truck and its performance as well.

Truck bed covers is one of the most commonly used truck accessory. These covers are used to protect the vehicle from different weather conditions which may include heavy rains, extreme heat of the sun and forceful wind. Likewise, these truck bed covers are also used to protect the cargo inside the truck from unstable weather and from thieves as well. Truck bed covers may come in different colors, sizes and designs which you can choose from to match your taste or fit the looks of your truck.

Bumpers are also one of the most commonly used accessories, not just for trucks but for other vehicles as well. Bumpers are placed on the front part of the truck; therefore, it goes to saying that the bumpers create the first impression for the whole of the truck since it is the first to get noticed by the onlookers. Believe it or not, but some trucks are being priced according to what the bumper is made of, and based on the looks of the bumper itself. Accessory as it is, but bumpers should always be durable since it is also used as protection for those very important parts of the rig, especially those on the front part.

Hoods and body covers of the truck is also as important to be taken cared of so as to stay on top form. How the truck looks from the outside would somehow tell about the personality of its owner. Plain colors and simple designs is a reflection of a simple personality, while extravagant colors and designs is a reflection of a more creative personality. Yet, it is not just about colors and designs of the hoods and covers. How you take extra care of them even from light scratches is a manifestation of how much you value your ride, in this case, your truck.

For truck enthusiasts, it is expected that they always allot enough amount to spend for the accessories of their truck. Needless to say, they are willing to spend money from the inside to the outside of their truck so as to stay looking good and keep feeling good while on a ride with their favorite rig.

Considerable Factors When Buying Truck Accessories

2011-11-14T04:42:00.000-08:00

After taking the key of your newly purchased truck, think of this: a few important factors have to be considered in buying accessories for your newly purchased ride. This thought should never be taken for granted because accessories can't just make your truck attractive, but they can also contribute to the functionality of your vehicle. Likewise, truck accessories can define the longevity of your truck's life, just in case you don't know.

Here are some considerable factors when buying truck accessories.

1. Style and Looks - The first thing you have in mind when you first bought your truck if you are a truck enthusiast is to make it look something just like you. Therefore, look for something that would match the style that you like and those which would really emphasize the character of your new vehicle.

2. Functionality - The functionality of the truck accessories which you would like to buy should come along when considering style and looks. This is so, because practicality says that you have to hit two birds at the same time. So to make sure that it's all worth it, be sure that the accessory have some other purpose other than adorn your truck.

3. Price & Quality - It is not always best to choose what is cheaper because sometimes, cheaper items mean that they are of less quality, although sometimes, it's the other way around. Double check quality against the price so you could choose the items where you can worthily spend your money.

4. Space - Choose accessories which can still be accommodated by your truck. Do not over decorate them or over accessorize them.

5. Your own need - Be careful to choose the kind of accessories that would fill your needs. Accessories can come in a variety of designs, shapes, colors, price and functionality. We all know that the world is facing economic crisis for years now, so it is just wise to make sure that every cent of your money should be spent to what is needed the most, unless you have all the sources to buy them all. Yet, most people nowadays choose to be practical even if they do have lots of money to spend. Think about at how the accessories you plan to buy will make an impact to your truck and to your own experience as well.

6. Comfort - The best consideration would be the comfort which your choice of accessories can give you and your passengers. Most of the times, regardless of price, as long as it make us feel comfortable, we choose to grab them.

7. Options - In everything we do, we are certainly given a lot of options. That fact definitely goes the same with buying accessories for your truck. Since truck has long been one of the transportation means, so the accessories were also long been existent and they have been also into modifications to suit the needs and wants of the truck enthusiasts. In buying truck accessories, you should make it a point to know well about your options so that you can get the best of what are available.

New Medium Duty Railgate From Tommy Gate

2011-11-11T08:55:00.000-08:00

Tommy Gate Releases All-New Medium-Duty Railgate

Tommy Gate has announced the release of an all-new 3,000lb capacity, high-cycle railgate for stake and van bodies.

An extension of Tommy Gate’s pre-existing product line of railgates, this new lift is the first Tommy Gate has produced at the 3,000lb capacity level.

Tommy Gate’s engineers specifically designed the 3,000lb railgate for applications performing high numbers of lifting cycles during daily use. These "high-cycle" requirements have called for the inclusion of a number of quality components such as machined steel rollers, dual-sealed ball bearings, hardenedsteel pulleys, and composite bushings. Incorporating these materials has created a steadier lifting action and reduced maintenance.

The new "high-cycle" rail is being offered with numerous standard features:

Class-exclusive safety trip bar provides additional operator protection
Self-close and auto-open cam arm creates hands-free platform open and closure
Steel rollers ensure consistency of motion
12" platform taper eases transition from ground to platform
Three-light, incandescent light kit included

More than three years of design, development, and testing has been completed on the project, including fourteen months of intensive field testing. The extensive development period and focus on user feedback leads Tommy Gate to believe it has created an elite railgate for its class.

Tommy Gate is a 45-year-old, U.S.-based, hydraulic liftgate manufacturer, located in Woodbine, Iowa.

Vaca Valley Truck & SUV is an authorized Tommy Gate dealer.

Price vs Value On Tool Boxes

2011-08-08T06:59:00.000-07:00

There are literally hundreds of types, styles, shapes, sizes. There are also a wide variety of types of materials such as, aluminum (diamond plate or smooth), white steel, black steel, powder coated, painted, polished, and more.

The best way to determine what your customer wants is to ask a lot of questions. What do they plan on using the box for? How often will they be in and out of it? Hey, we all see that box for $200. What you usually get for that is a box that is a much thinner gauge of material, usually built from scrap and riveted together and has very inexpensive hardware. I call this a "get by" box. For a customer that uses the box on a constant in and out basis, this is just not for them and will only create an upset customer in six months.

I always try to explain to the customer that a box that cost $650 weighs three times as much, has a much better, more secure locking system and will outlast that $200 box ten-fold. It will last through several trucks!

What's more important is keeping those valuable tools secured. Many contractors carry $5-8,000 worth of tools in these boxes! Would you wrap a gold bar in brown paper? No, you would want it in a safe!

Think value, security and strength. Get the best product for the job and you'll have happy, loyal customers.

A.R.E. and Strattec Add Convenience and Security

2011-08-02T19:51:00.000-07:00

MASSILLON, Ohio - Leading commercial truck cap manufacturer A.R.E. has partnered with STRATTEC(r) Security Corporation to provide the automotive supplier's BOLT(tm) one-key lock technology on its popular Deluxe Commercial Unit (DCU) truck caps.

A.R.E.'s DCU truck cap, which is made of fully welded aluminum frame construction, currently features STRATTEC automotive-grade lock cylinders in folding t-handles on all doors for added security. The BOLT lock systems within the cylinders are designed to permanently program themselves to the specific vehicle's ignition key, eliminating the need for multiple keys to operate the truck cap.

"One of the biggest problems that fleet managers have is drivers losing or breaking keys, which can result in unnecessary downtime, lost man hours and security issues," said Jim Blayne, Commercial/Fleet Division Sales Manager, A.R.E. "The benefit of the BOLT technology is that is saves commercial users time and money while offering one-key convenience for the entire vehicle, and A.R.E. is committed to working with industry partners and delivering these value-added innovations to our customers."

Here's how the technology works: When drivers insert their ignition key into the lock cylinder, spring-loaded plate tumblers move up and down until they are matched exactly to that key. The first time the key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to only that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. When the key is turned again, it will rotate to the unlocked position.

"Our patented design means that any number of locks in the BOLT series can be set to one key, allowing drivers to use their single ignition key to not only lock their vehicle, but their truck cap doors, toolboxes, trailer hitch locks and any other equipment professionals use on a daily basis," said STRATTEC Director of New Market Development Mike Long. "And because the locks feature automotive-grade security they offer higher quality, durability and corrosion resistance."

A.R.E. offers more than 100 options on its DCU truck cap to give fleet professionals the power to create a customizable solution for their trucks, choosing from a variety of door and window configurations, toolboxes, ladder racks, interior fabric liners, side panels and cap heights from 23 to 36 inches. In addition, A.R.E. provides organizational solutions, such as a full selection of plastic storage bins to hold small parts, tools, extension cords, nails and screws in the side compartments of the DCU. A.R.E. truck caps come with a three-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

The BOLT system will be standard later this summer on 2012 model year A.R.E. DCUs for domestic trucks (GM, Ford and Chrysler) only.

About A.R.E.      A.R.E. began manufacturing aluminum frame truck caps in 1969. Since then, the company has become a leading manufacturer of fiberglass truck caps and hard tonneau covers, ands boasts more than 500 employees at its ISO-9001:2008-certified manufacturing facilities. They have a network of more than 600 independent authorized dealers. For more information, contact A.R.E. at 400 Nave Rd. S.E., P.O. Box 1100, Massillon, OH 44648, email topline@4are.com or visit www.4are.com.
