Up here in the Bozone, which is what we call Bozeman, Montana, the weather gets pretty nasty. Snow, rain and the occasional mudslide keep folks with big trucks pretty busy towing city folk tourists out of the muck. In order to keep your rig on the giving end of these messy rescues, make sure you equip it with some super diesel power.

When I wanted a new truck bed cover for my 99 Sierra, I ran across quite a dilemma. Do I save a few bucks and buy the Undercover Tonneau Cover my buddy has? Or, do I blow his truck away with a custom painted truck bed cover from Gaylord’s? The internal struggle was quite wrenching.

Oh, and get the soft tacos and pop the pill.

Many guys who pull a toy or two behind their truck are also fiercely brand-competitive. But, the same crowd who sees their rear window as a blank easel for denouncing their neighbors’ truck brands may find their time wasted when battling over hitch and towing equipment. This is the case for any truck guy looking for a side in the tame conflict between Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch.

So, it was one of those days. Work was a royal pain. I had a headache. And, when I got home my girlfriend was loading the last box of her junk. When I asked what was going on she said “I’m sick of you, I’m sick of this place, and I’m sick of your stupid truck. I’m out of here!”

Serious off-road enthusiasts are modern day explorers and adventurers that want to go where no one has ever gone before. They are usually off exploring those caves or driving up that mountain to see how far they can go. To meet these challenges the typical serious off-road Jeeper wants to enhance their Jeep by adding aftermarket performance parts that help them achieve the optimum rock-crawling, trail-thrashing ability. by David Brooks

I spend more time on the highway in my dually Sierra than I do at home with the family. I’m not complaining. I don’t much care for my old lady and the brats. But I spend a fortune on fuel, and it’s cutting into my profits. Lucky for me, there is tons of gear out there to boost fuel savings for big rigs like mine. With my new truck bed cover and air filter, I’m saving cash hand over fist. Here’s my story.

There are many who are looking forward to retirement and would like to spend their time seeing the country from the inside of their home away from home. Most are also shocked at the average 5 or so mpg that RV’s get, and they end up with their dreams dashed. by David Brooks

Nothing gives me the heebie-jeebies like insects. That’s why I get such satisfaction buzzing around town in my Super Duty. Its massive front-end can kill thousands of those winged bastards every year. And now that I have a bug avoidance shield, I’m able to take care of business without as many gooey smears left on my windshield.

What do us right-minded conservatives and those Beaujolais-drinking, terrorist-appeasing, Yalta-forfeiting liberals have in common? We’re all going to die sooner or later. Showing respect for the dead can come in many forms, but I’ve figured out how I’m going to pay homage to my kith and kin. I’m going to immortalize them by lifting my Silverado.

You would think that a minor childhood trauma like being locked inside an oven that was then turned on would not scar a person too badly. But ever since that fateful afternoon, I’ve had an uncontrollable fear of tight places. However, I heard on an episode of Dr. Phil that the best way to overcome these mental weaknesses is to face our nightmares. And that’s exactly what I did—with a truck tool box.

When you have a new ride, you need to cover your ass. And there’s no better CYA move than shielding your seats with some car seat covers. But, when you have a sparklin’ new Ford truck, there’s nothing you need more than Ford truck seat covers. Think of where you go (and what you sit on when you’re there), and getting a set of seat covers becomes a no-brainer.

When times are tough on the home front—like if you’ve blown the mortgage chest on a flat screen or “accidentally” made out with her sister at a party—you may find yourself sans-domicile for the first time ever. But don’t take to a life of living in a water heater box or posting up on your buddy’s couch (or your lady’s sister’s couch), scrounging for food and fighting toothless vets. Instead, take to your truck. A gang of truck accessories can build the peaceful pickup life for you.

The right pad teamed with the right rotor can transform your driving experience. Such a heaven-made match exists when high-tech Power Slot rotors make contact with the stout stopping of a set of Hawk Brake Pads. Will they join the pantheon of great manly duos that can be spoken of? Only time will tell.

One of the biggest things on peoples minds these days are the prices at the pump. In reality that should not be the case, as that is something that is out of our control. The thing that people should be thinking about is how they can increase their fuel economy because that is something that they are able to control. by Nathan Young

In a day where phrases like Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel, Exhaust Gas Recirculation, Urea Injection and most of all Diesel Particulate Filter are being used in an industry that is more accustomed to phrases like "Boost Fooler" and "Mufflerectomy" many people are wondering if this is the end of the Diesel Performance era. Many people are even asking, "Is Diesel Performance Dead?" by David Brooks

The Rubicon Trail just east of Sacramento, CA is famous for its ability to eat 4-wheelers alive. Rigs of every manufacturer who dare to face this rocky mistress quickly find themselves up to their axles in trouble. One thing’s for certain; the Jeep brand still reigns King of the Rubicon.

Mud flaps exist to do the thankless job of stopping spatters, slop and gunk from mucking up your vehicle. Sometimes they can even prevent a run in with the law as we see in the following story.

If you’re practicing to become a bona fide amateur stunt hoon, you’d better bring the right equipment along. Before our maiden hooning trip, my crew and I thought that all our bases were covered with some batting helmets, plenty of duct tape, and an ice chest of tall boys. We learned the hard way that having a Warn Winch or a Ramsey Winch is also essential. Here’s what happened.

When I see the word “Nerf,” the first thing that comes to my mind is a plush oval spiraling through the sky. However, I had to adjust my internal definition after I started accessorizing my F-150. Turns out that some companies out there have taken that universal term for spongy foam and applied it to cold, hard steel step bars. And as I found out one agonizing afternoon in the park, the similarities between a flying cushion and a metal tube are few and far between.

When you think you have everything your truck needs, guess again—you probably don’t have a blinding bank of lights. No worries, though, because there are plenty of brands like PIAA, KC and Hella that make the performance lamps you need to bleach the nighttime. Get ready to flip the switch on portable daylight!

Boy, I learned the hard way that it takes a quality hitch to tow like the big dogs. It happened when I moved my sister’s old singlewide from Shady Acres over to the Starlight. Once we put the wheels on and lowered that old Classic Coach onto the bumper hitch, all hell broke loose—literally.

My ’99 GMC Sierra is in serious need of some new exhaust. The old system looks like Swiss cheese and the cab fills with smoke at red lights. It really makes for one-hell-of-a headache. Plus, the rumble is loud enough to crack plaster, which makes me the scourge of my neighborhood. I figure it’s time to outfit that old rig with some new exhaust tubes.

These days, you have to blaze your own trails in order to avoid slogging through traffic. But you can’t just start motoring your pickup through a stranger’s backyard naked. You need to have a plan of attack and a few accessories along for the ride because things can get mighty hairy. Here are my thoughts for all you intrepid traffic-phobes out there.

When it comes to power and torque, the top of the food chain these days is the late-model diesel truck. Leaving the factory with over 300 horsepower and 600 ft/lbs of torque, this new breed of hot rod is a force to be reckoned with. And, this is before the addition of any of the popular diesel modifications now available. The burgeoning diesel aftermarket makes it possible for oil-burnin’ motorheads to extract more power—lots more power.

Installing vehicle wraps can be learned easily and does not require the knowledge of rocket science. However, it is not something you can do yourself (unless you own a professional wrapping business). Designing and putting it on is different from making graphics for banners, tarps, and other flat vinyl surfaces. by David Brooks

These days, diesel trucks are the undisputed kings of power. Having shed their smoky, work-a-day reputation, diesels have become the modern-day muscle car. Diesel drags are ripping-up tracks across the nation, the aftermarket has burst the multi-billion dollar mark and the Big 3 continue cranking out these powerful machines for us hopeless torque junkies.

Oddly enough, out of all of the research done into hybrid technology GM has been forward thinking enough to make theirs are not only affordable, but ingenious as well. They now offer both the Sierra and the Silverado pickups as hybrids country wide. Using a technology not formerly seen in hybrids, GM attempted to not only lower emissions in their pickups, but to make them handier as well. by David Brooks

Truck wrap advertising is changing the way outdoor advertisers reach out to their target consumers. Because trucks are able to move from place to place and offer a wider working space for marketers to place their information, more companies are going for it, as opposed to simply placing their vinyl graphic ads on smaller cars. by Rick Martin

Whatever you call it, be it forklift or lift truck, we are basically talking about the same type of machinery. It was invented somewhere in the 1920s and it’s been indispensable to industrial activities ever since. As we all know it, any successful operation starts with the appropriate amount of research.

When purchasing industrial equipment, nothing matters more than being an experimented buyer. Or, in the case where you’re not such a buyer, you need to do your best to become one. Spending more than necessary or choosing characteristics of no immediate use are only a few of the common mistakes that can be very easily made.
