Seat Cover Buying Guide

You may think your factory seats are holding up just fine. What you may not realize is how much abuse your seats are getting from wear and tear, sun damage, pets, or dirt and spills. All these problems have a simple solution, seat covers. So, why should you get a set of seat covers? There are many reasons. You can protect your factory seats, get a custom look for your interior, or cover up existing damage to your seats. They are also a great way to keep your interior looking new and clean.

Wheelskins: You need one

What part of your vehicle are you most in contact with but probably the last thing you’re likely to customize? If you said your steering wheel, you would be correct. Steering wheels can take a real beating sometimes and we usually do nothing about it. Pretty soon, your steering wheel starts to look like it went toe-to-toe with Iron Mike (Fig.1). Well, we here at Stylin' Trucks have a solution for you: Wheelskins.


Magic Carpet Ride

Nifty’s custom-fit molded carpet is pre-formed to fit your vehicle’s floor for a tight fit and clean look you’d swear was factory installed. The back of the carpet comes pre-marked (or even pre-cut for some models) with all the necessary holes for shifters, seat brackets and whatever else might be poking up from the floor of your truck or SUV. Nifty’s replacement carpet is the perfect way to add carpet to vehicles that didn’t come with it from the factory and provides a great way rejuvenating a tired, worn out interior. In the case of our C/K, we’ll be shooting for the latter.

Deer Crossing!

Ryan Nossal has made working on cars and trucks his life. Not only is he a sales rep at Stylin’ Trucks, he also does body work for friends and family in his garage. Of course working on his own truck is always top priority.

Westin Bull Bar Installation

Hot LED Truck Accessories

The decision to accessorize your truck or SUV with the hot look of LED truck accessories is certainly an easy one. For one, they last up to a million times longer than the same size incandescent bulb, and for another...I just made that up. Truth is, nobody knows exactly how much longer LEDs last than regular bulbs, but there are still LEDs in computers from the 70s that are happily blinking away with no ill effects.

LED Light Bars - A Buying Guide.

Your truck already has brake lights, but does it have the high-performance, long-lasting technology known as LEDs? Probably not. LEDs light up so fast, many consider them to be "instant-on" technology, alerting others to your stopping intentions long before your regular bulbs even warm up.

But which LED light bar is a truck owner to go with? We know that it can be daunting to choose one of a few similar products. That's why the crew at Stylin' Trucks has put together this helpful little primer.


Light Up Your Life with New LED Third Brake Lights

Putco's Pure LED 3rd brake light is brand new to the market and only available at Stylin’ Trucks. Using the newest lighting technology, the exclusive i-on chrome coating applied to the interior lens creates greater reflectivity, while LEDs shine through for the brightest, most stunning look. When off, LEDs hide behind Putco's patented Ion Chrome.

Performance


2007 High & Low Truck Show Video!

Well, it's taken about six months for me to get the video out, but the show is over and it was a complete success. Over 150 trucks made the trip out that chilly day in September and we really got some great footage.

Dave Dlugoz’s ’99 GMC Sierra…Shines Brighter than a Hollywood Star!

Dave Dlugoz represents a true Stylin’ Truck enthusiast. In fact, he can literally say he’s the Stylin’ Trucks poster child. Not only does his truck grace the cover of the most recent issue of our Sport Truck catalog, both he and his truck are also featured in a Truckin’ ad.

Stylin' Trucks Installs a Fitch Fuel Catalyst

Let's make sure that we're all on-board with the idea that fresh gas is better than old gas. It's cleaner and burns better, for more power, better mileage, and cleaner exhaust. But what if you could have not only fresh gas, but the freshest gas possible - forever! Yeah, now I've got your attention. Check out the installation of a revolutionary little product, the Fitch Fuel Catalyst...

Gas Savings, Save Money At The Pump!

As truck enthusiasts, convincing any of us to run out and buy some compact, fuel-efficient hybrid is just unrealistic. But, there are some things you can do to fight back at the pump (and gain a few extra horsepower on the way). Interested? We thought so.

Off Road Survival Guide

Now, we’re not suggesting that you go hardcore rock-crawling your first time out; but a quick romp through the hills and mud can be enough to get your adrenaline pumping in a major way. I mean honestly, what could be more fun than flying through the hills at full- throttle, goin’ sideways around corners and throwin’ mud all over the guys behind you?


Suspension


5 Laws of Lowered Truck Alignment

Be honest, before you lowered your truck, you never gave the alignment "thing" a second thought. You’re now older and wiser, however,  and realize you must seriously consider this important issue before you choose your method of lowering, especially if the vehicle is not just a show truck but serves as your daily driver. Improperly aligning your truck can cause serious handling problems, as well as uneven, premature tire wear.

A Little Chat With DJM Suspension

To assist you with all of your suspension questions, Stylin' Trucks, in partnership with aftermarket truck suspension manufacturer DJM, will be carrying exclusive truck-related suspension articles directly from Calmaxsuspension.com, an informational website that deals with aftermarket truck suspension systems.

Ram SRT10 Lowering Kit

The Ram SRT10 in this article belongs to DJM Suspension of Gardena, California and they decided to do the installation out in California, where it's sunny. But that didn't stop Stylin' Trucks from getting pictures. Nope, we had our photographer take one for the team and fly out to sunny California to cover the installation. What a hard job...

Gifts for Mom

Warm hugs, hot cocoa after playing in the snow and daily reminders to wash behind your ears. Those are the things that make Moms important.

Pay her back with great truck accessories.

Restoration


A Love of the Classics!

Chris Manis may only be 19 years old, but he has a passion for the classics…cars and trucks that is.  He is a mere eight weeks away from graduating from Ohio Technical College, with the goal of scoring a job restoring classic cars. He also drives a well-preserved ’92 Chevy full-size extended cab, with an 8-foot bed. Yes, that made him four when this car was new. Brat!

It's hauled lawn mowers and motorcycles, helped you move and transported your kids to school, soccer practice and karate lessons. Unfortunately though, your ride is starting to show its age.

How can I start saving gas?
Your engine creates power by burning fuel. The amount of fuel your engine burns is directly connected to your vehicle's accelerator, and how you use it has a major impact on gas mileage.

Fast acceleration and speeding use more fuel than consistent, conservative driving. Anticipating traffic patterns, maintaining suggested speed limits (including the use of cruise control) and going easy on the throttle on acceleration improve mileage instantly. Log your mileage, adjust your driving and check the results; you might be pleasantly surprised.

 I want to put a grille on my truck. Are bolt over or cut out grilles better?
That's a personal choice depending on what you're looking for. Bolt over grille inserts are easy to install and look good; however, you will see some of the factory shell through the openings of the insert. With a cut-out grille, you get a cleaner more custom look. The grille shell must be removed and the center cut out. The new insert then replaces the factory center. Carriage Works and TRENZ offer both styles so you can choose.
