Interior
Summer is upon us and that means thoughts of cruisin down the highway and hanging out with friends. But you want a good-looking truck while doing this, right? Right here we've got the best interior dress-up accessories that money can buy - from new floor mats or carpet, to dashboard and steering wheel covers. We've got it all!
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.
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.
Exterior
The SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association) Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world (not open to the general public). More than 100,000 automotive professionals will attend the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas November 3-6.
We, at Sytlin’, want to take some time from sweeping away the maples so our experts’ and friends’ could reflect on what shows made their eyes pop and tails wag.
No matter who the manufacturer is, or what style tonneau, most any truck bed cover offers weather-resistant cargo protection and gas savings. The following guide is designed to help you choose the right tonneau cover to meet your needs.
Lighting
This is because the status quo has never been good enough for IPCW. They are a company of dreamers, shapers and makers. The most exciting product to them is always “the next one”.
So Summer is finally over (at least in Ohio it is.) The days are getting shorter and you'll be using your headlights a lot more. So as a service to our awesome customers we want to put together this badass bulb comparison article. We've tested 9 different sets of bulbs for you, so check them out.
The decision to accessorize your truck or SUV with the hot look of LED truck accessories is certainly an easy one. What's there not to love about the long-lasting life of an LED bulb?
Performance
The first week in November is when the automotive aftermarket descends to Las Vegas for the annual Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) at the Sands Expo Center.
Not even an early morning chilly drizzle and a visit from the local authorities could put a damper on the 7th annual show held at our headquarters in Independence, Ohio. More than 130 trucks and jeeps from around the country braved the weather to display custom rides that were the only showstoppers around.
Stylin' Trucks has been burning the midnight oil getting ready for the big 2009 High Low Truck Show (10 a.m. to 3 p.m., August 30 at the Stylin Headquarters in Independence, Ohio... to be exact). Check it out:
Towing
Help is on the way for diesel drivers. Hypertech, the worldwide leader in performance tuning for computer-controlled vehicles, has developed the Max Energy Programmer for popular late-model trucks and SUVs with both diesel and gasoline engines.
Towing performance is all about being strong and smart. It doesn't necessarily mean having the most power - because power doesn't equal performance. The most powerful engine and drivetrain combinations have no business on a dedicated towing rig, which needs to be strong, consistent and reliable.
Getting ready to take a trip this summer? Here's what you need to get you on the road in style. Check inside for some of the best products that you'll need when you're on the road.
Suspension
If you hadn’t known, we just got done putting on one heck of a truck show (The High Low Truck Show, check it out). Also, we have one heck of a sale going on with our large stock of shocks.
You've added a custom ram-air hood and a billet grille to the front, and maybe a roll pan and fiberglass tonneau to the rear. That covers the looks department, but what about performance? Ok, there is a K&N Air Intake under the hood and a Magnaflow exhaust system underneath. That's cool, but have you upgraded your suspension yet?
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.
Accessories
Right now our Pro Grade Tool sale is just starting (20% off, by the way). We here at Stylin' Trucks thought it would be a great idea to tell you about Pro Grade Tools.
It’s not too hard to walk the halls of Stylin' Trucks to find someone who knows a thing or two about turning wrenches.
Most importantly, they understand the importance of having the right tools for the job. We ask a few experienced technicians for their advice on what makes the right tool.
As a DIYer, you know how important it is for a mad scientist such as yourself to have an adequate laboratory to perform your custom truck magic. While you call your garage a lab, others might refer to it as your man cave or utopia.
Restoration
Rob Hickok’s 1985 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup (and 2009 Best Chevy at the Stylin' Trucks High Low Truck Show) could be considered a lesson in the law of accumulation.
Times are tough, that’s no surprise. These days, one might find it hard to keep your truck running on a budget let alone tricking it out the Stylin' way. But they never met Stylin' Trucks’ Operations Manager Steve Mashek.
Last time we checked in with Joe, he had only owned the Dakota for a short while. The previous owner did a lot of suspension work to lower the truck, (even getting in an issue of Mini Truckin' magazine) but the body and interior left a lot to be desired. Joe was fast on his way upgrading, fixing, and changing almost everything about the truck.
Jeep®
You know by now, we’re the ones to go for your truck part and accessory needs. And as a part of our new Jeep line (with 27,000 items in stock), we want to give you a peek of the vast inventory of brand names we’re holding here at Stylin'. Here are a few of our popular names.
