Three Aftermarket Add-ons No Truck Should Be Without

I have to admit that if I had to take 3 aftermarket add-ons every truck needs it would have to fall along the lines of making the biggest first impression imaginable. For many people that’s going to include aftermarket upgrades. Your pickup is going to need great sets of and tires if it’s going to stand out in a crowd.

Tires & Rims

Take a gander at what you’ve got now and be completely readl with yourself if you think it will impress anyone. Aftermarket rims come in a ton of styles, sizes and configurations. They can be picked up in a variety of colors and finishes. Decide on your color carefully asthey should match the trim of your ride.

Buy your tires based on a few important requirements: tread life considerations; about how long the tread should last in your particular driving situation.

Rainy weather requirements:

The severity of your seasons should come be thought about when thinking about tires.

Speed rating:

Unless you’re doing the Indy 500 or NASCAR every week, choose a speed rating of S – 112 mph, to U – 124 mph. Your ride will have plenty of stopping power at this rating and you’ll save yourself some money.

Ride quality:

You’ll find that a low profile rating of 40 or 50 series looks great but feels bumpy on the road. Try a rating of 55 to 60 as a concession.

Noise:

A couple of the sickest looking tire treads are actually very loud on the road. If you want quiet and smooth you’re going to need to do another balancing act here. At the end of the day, look for the right middle ground between looks and practicality.

Get a bull bar for the front of the truck. This is one mean looking grill guard. It is visually awe-inspiring and when coupled with a ram air hood, gives the impression that your truck can destroy anything on the road. Be sure to get the finish that matches your rims. One last item on the list is a must.

A Train Horn Kit

Bottom line is nothing is more impressive than blowing 140 decibels out in front of a crowd when you’re displaying your tricked out whip. It tops off the show and makes your vehicle memorable. These beauties can be found on the web and installed without special tools. Be sure to get one that is compatible with trucks and be sure to order the complete kit to avoid going back for extra parts.
