For these parcel delivery vans, one way of maintaining the quality of the body is through correct washing techniques.

Off Road Truck Tires

Friday, August 26th, 2011

When it comes to the performance of your truck the tires can play a big role. Whether you are looking for used monster truck tires or basic all terrain tires choosing the right tire for both your truck and your needs is important if you want to get the best performance possible.

Off road tires are available in a wide range of sizes and styles so choosing the right one may seem a little overwhelming if you aren’t very familiar with this. To help narrow your choices think about how you will be using the truck most and what type of terrain you will be driving on most often.

There are three basic types of tires to consider. All season tires are made for basic road use. All terrain tires are in the middle; they can be used on the road but they are more rugged than all season tires and can be used for off roading as well. Extreme terrain tires are rugged tires made for the serious off roader.

The other important consideration is size. Check with the manufacturer of your truck to see what size of tires you can use with your vehicle. Bigger tires will provide more clearance and better off roading performance, but they may also require modifications of your truck. If you have a jacked up pickup truck or some other type of lifted truck you’ll want bigger tires, but make sure you still stay within the limits of the modifications, otherwise you will cause damage to the vehicle over time.

Don’t skimp on tires. This is an important part of your truck. Choose quality tires that have good reviews and a decent life expectancy. It is better to pay a little more up front for tires that will provide what you need and last longer than to save money on something you’re not really happy with and will need to replace in a couple of years.

Snow Plows = Awesome!

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

This is for everyone that thinks snow plows are awesome! Every winter we are bombarded with high winds, tons of snow and sleet. And every year we remember why snow plows are awesome. There is nothing I hate more than shoveling snow the ‘old school’ way. I know I am not that old, but let’s get real here. I am outside for no more than a half hour and my back already hurts. I can’t wait for the kids to get older to help share the burden. I had a friend come over after our last big snow storm. He has a snow plow on his truck, so I gave him ten bucks and he took care of my driveway responsibilities. It seriously couldn’t have taken more than a half hour at the most. This is when I decided to go and buy one. I haven’t found the lucky one yet, but I am confident that within the next month I will have one! Get ready snow, you’re done!
