Interior
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.
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.
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.
Exterior
The first weekend in August was the perfect timing for this year's 2008 Havoc - East. Bowling Green, Kentucky boasted perfect weather and the Beech Bend Raceway was packed to the gills with custom metal. Read more...
Sunday, July 26th sure was a hot day in Massillon, Ohio. With local temperatures in the mid-80s, and crazy humidity to back it up, Ohio's sticky summer heat kept most people locked up in the air conditioning. But those brave souls who went out to endure the heat were greeted with a wonderful sight, the fourth annual Fokis on Fire Benefit Car Show and Chicken BBQ. Read on...
How does the Full Metal JackRabbit work?
The Full-Metal JackRabbit cover slides along rails mounted to the sides of the truck bed into a canister at the front of the truck bed. The Full-Metal JackRabbit blanket rolls around a reel inside the canister with the help of a coil spring which maintains tension on the cover at all times making it easy to open. The canister measures 9.6” wide by 9.66” high.

Lighting
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.
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.
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
The world's leading manufacturer of Diesel Truck Performance Accessories, Bully Dog, has just dumped a whole load of videos onto the StylinTrucks.com website. So if you're researching performance truck accessories for your diesel pickup truck, then look no further.
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 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.
Towing
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
Accessories
So you have a beautiful garage. But what condition is the floor in? The floor is the last thing that people think to upgrade in their garage. It is cold, dusty, dirty, and stained.

As you start to get into your older years, you realize that all the nagging and reminding you over, and over, and over to wash your hands was actually worth it. Pay her back with great truck accessories.

Restoration
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!
