Ditch The Bumper: Suicide Doors Rollpan Sale

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Minitruckers are a unique breed — they love to build trucks, they love to build ‘em low, and they love to break stuff in the process. They damage one part more than any other: the rollpan, an aftermarket rolled piece of steel that’s welded between the bedsides in place of the stock rear […]

Get Your Gas In Differently: Solid By Design ‘07-’08 Tundra Gas Door

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The gas door on my truck has become the bane of my existence. After all, at $3.50 a gallon, going to the pump isn’t fun anymore — in fact, it irritates the hell out of me. If I had an ‘07+ Tundra though, I could make the gas-getting experience a little more fun with the […]

All-About-My-Truck Week: Removing Moldings

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

After 13 years of sun, the stock rubber moldings across the rockers of my ‘95 Chevy Silverado had peeled and turned brown. Even though I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty and perfect under the trim, I also knew it would look better after I took off the old stuff. As it turned out, […]

Get A Leg Up: Amp Research BedStep

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I’m old. Not like dinosaur old, but once I hit 30 it was all downhill from there. Knees feel achy, my hands cramp up, and I’m heavier — oh, the benefits of aging. The BedStep by Amp Research is one of those accessories that I thought was retarded when I was 20. […]

Spray On Some Color: Line-X XTRA Bedliner

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

We’ve all seen the commercials that tell us drop-in bedliners are bad, and spray-ons are better, but does everyone want a black bedliner? If you’re the fancy guy who wants something different — maybe blue to match your eyes, or green to match that rash you just can’t get rid of — check out Line-X’s […]

Hot Rod LED: Billet LED Turn Signal Mirrors

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Watson’s StreetWorks makes these fancy billet mirrors for street rods, but if you’re a shovelhead, you could even customize your motorcycle with ‘em. LEDs shine through both the front and back of the billet aluminum assembly, so people can see which way you’re turning whether you’re coming or going. Plus, it means you don’t have […]

Infinite Drop: Greddy G35 Strut And Spring Kit

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Know what I know about the metric system? I know that some retard at Chevy decided to switch everything to metric, but then he stopped halfway through. Other than that, I’m no good at conversions, or numbers, or even googling it apparently, because according to my calculations this drop kit hammers the crap out of […]

Get Your Goat: Original Parts Group ‘64-’68 GTO Emblem

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Wondering why there haven’t been a lot of posts recently? Well, sorry to say, but I was out and about on my honeymoon. That’s right, ladies, I’m off the market. No longer will you be able to get a piece of this 275 lb, tattooed hunk of flesh. Instead you’ll have to settle for my […]

DJ Quik: Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Detailer

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I’m sure there’s some kind of interesting technical info I could write about this product, like how it has fancy hydrophobic polymer technology, or the fact that it repels water, but at the end of the day, here’s what it comes down to — this stuff works. Go out right now, grab a bottle, […]

Paul Wall’s Got Nothing On You: Nu Image Corvette Grille

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Billet grilles are so last-year, at least if you’re in the “baller” scene. Seems like the mesh-style grille is the hot ticket nowadays, and now they make it for the ‘06-’08 C6 Corvette. It’s a chromed mesh made from stainless steel, stamped to match the shape of the bumper, and its non-scratch rubber edge won’t […]
