pickup truck accessoriesAny person that drives a truck out there should highly consider accessorizing their truck to ensure either safety, or to increase the overall look of your vehicle.

Most people have the assumption that accessories are designed for those that want to add flames to the side of the car, or maybe bull horns to the front.  While this isn’t always the case, there are accessories out there that can do this.

I wanted to give you a list of accessories that you should highly consider for your truck.

  • Bed Liners: These are great to have, if you’re looking to protect the bed of your truck.
  • Bed Rug: Sort of like the liner, but you’re going to be able to protect the bed of your truck with a nice outdoorsy type rug.
  • Billet Grilles: These are more for looks, but can make the front of your car look a little more appealing.
  • Bumpers: Another custom accessory that I would consider optional.  You can turn your bumper from something boring to something exciting.
  • Fender Flares: These flares are going to protect your vehicle from mud, gravel, and other debris from getting underneath.
  • Fuel Doors: Again, another accessory that you can consider if you want to change the look of your gasoline door.
  • Grille Guards: This is kind of like the Billet grilles, but is going to protect the grill of your car, as well as make it look a little more appealing.
  • Hitches: Whether you have a hitch on your car already, or you’re looking for one, you may want to upgrade, or attach a new one.
  • Nerf Bars: These run along the running boards of your truck and are more for looks than anything, but make the car look a lot nicer!
  • Pet Barrier:  Great for those with pets.  You can design a barrier in either the bed of the truck, or in the backseat.  It prevents your animal from coming in contact with you while driving.
  • Remote Car Starter: I would recommend this for any type of car.  It’s a must have if you live in a colder climate for the Winter time.
  • Running Boards: I highly recommend these for your truck.  Not only does it enable people to get into higher spots, it can also prevent mud build up as well.
  • Seat Covers: I would recommend these for trucks, since seats in a vehicle like this tend to get a little more dirtier than others.
  • Taillight Covers: I guess you can use these for any type of vehicle.  Great for looks, as well as protection of the light.
  • Tonneau Covers: This is a nice cover that you can customize for the bed of your truck.  It’s great for protecting things while driving from the rain, snow, etc.
  • Tool boxes: This is highly recommended for those that are working in the labor / construction field.  A great add-on to carry all of your tools.  Make sure that you consider one with a lock.
  • Truck Seats: Bored of the seats that are in your truck?  Why not get new ones?  You can get a whole new set of seats if you don’t like what you have now.
  • Winches: Great to have if you find yourself towing a lot of things.  Great for pulling other cars, trees out, and more.

As you can see, there are all types.  Not all of them would I recommend that you go out and buy today, but some can do a lot of good for your truck.  Browse through the list and see what you may want to buy for your truck!

best under car neon lightsBefore you go out and purchase under car neon lights, you may want to look into your state’s laws, because every state is going to vary.  The last thing that you want to do is purchase them, and find out that you can’t even use them!

As part of the car accessory list that I’m building, I thought I’d add these lights to the list, since the demand for them are fairly high.  While I don’t know too much about them, I hopped online and found 5 sets that you may want to look into.  They seem very easy to install, and should only cost you about about $50 – $100, depending on what make and model that you want.

Blue Neon Under Body Car Kit: This is the one pictured up above.  I like it the most because it comes equipped with a wireless remote, making it extremely easy to turn it off, and on.  You get 4 tubes, the wiring, on/off swithc, as well as the mounting hardware.

  • OPTX by StreetGlow: This kit is usually around $200, but you can snag it over at Amazon for less than $75!  It has a few reviews that were really good.  This kit comes with 2 48 inch LED tubes, 2 30 inch ones, as well as 1 LED controller.  The installation is hassle free, and you should fall in love rather quickly!
  • 4pc Neon Underbody Car Lighting Kit: This kit is yet another kit that’s easy to install.  Comes with 2x 48 inch tubes, 2x 36 inch tubs, as well as built in transformers for easy configuration and wiring.  This kit will only run you around $50.
  • OPTX by StreetGlow / Yellow: Yellow seems to be a fairly popular color, but wouldn’t necessarily be the color of my choice to be honest.  This kit is just like the OPTX kit mentioned above, but comes in yellow.
  • Fast and Furious Coral Pink Neon: You’re going to soon find out that StreetGlow is one of the biggest manufactures when it comes to neon lights.  This kit comes with coral pink neon lights.  It’s easy to install and it also comes with music interface switch panels!

As I said above, make sure that you check with your local police department to make sure that they are legal.  The last thing that you want is to purchase them for $75, get a ticket, and you have to remove them.  With that being said, it’s a cool accessory to have, and would make any sporty type car look good!

Garmin Nuvi 350 reviewA GPS is the wave of the future and if you’re looking to get one, you’re going to soon find out that you’re going to be overwhelmed with the selection out there.  If you’re new to the site, be sure to check out our top 10 GPS Navigation Systems to see which 10 are the best on the market today.  We factored in ratings, pricing, as well as features.

Today, I wanted to focus on the #1 GPS device on the market today, which is the Garmin Nuvi 350.  Let’s take a look at the features, and let’s see why it’s recommend by over 3,000 people on Amazon!

The benefits of owning the Garmin Nuvi 350 –

  • Compact: Unlike many other GPS units, you’re going to find that this unit is very compact and will fit very nicely in your car.  The size is one of the things that many people worry about and if you want something that’s light and will fit nicely in your car, this is the one to consider.
  • Nice speech recognition: Yes, having a GPS can be distracting and what you’re going to find with some other units is that the speech to text is fairly bad.  To reduce looking at the screen, you will find that the speech on this particular model is clear and reduces the times that you have to look at the screen while driving.
  • Easy to read: A lot of GPS units out there either have a blurry screen, or you’re going to find that the text is rather hard to read.  The Nuvi 350 allows you to adjust the brightness, and the font is very easy to read while driving on the road.
  • Value: You’re going to find that if you want a good GPS, you’re going to have to spend at least $400 to $600.  Not with this one!  With merchants such as Amazon, you can spend less than $375 for a brand new unit!

The only downfall that I’ve seen is that some people state that it takes a few extra minutes sometimes to connect to the satellite and others may want a user manual, but what you’re going to find out with many technology based products out there is that there is a lot of user errors.  You’ll want to always be weary of the negative reviews.

I have personally purchased my Dad one of these for Christmas a year ago and he absolutely loves it!  He no longer gets lost and he finds that he can search for restaurants, shops, and more.  There are a lot of great GPS units out there, but if you’re looking for one of the best, highly consider the Nuvi 350!
