K9 Cop Truck 25

bed matsI have a buddy that is a police officer and he is part of the K9 unit. For the last couple of years he had a basic squad car, a crown Victoria, that had been only slightly modified to accommodate the dog in the back seat. He never complained about the car, and he even got to keep it at his house since it was specially marked as a K9 unit and since the dog lives with him.

Last month though, the police force stepped it up and bought him a brand new Ford Explorer. And let me tell you that this thing has all of the bells and whistles. When it comes to truck parts and accessories, they did more to this thing than slap some lights on top and stick a computer in the front seat. It has all kinds of special performance stuff like a fancy suspension and a Quadzilla performance tuner for the engine. And the dog gets a special crate that looks like it was custom made to fit into the back of the Explorer complete will all kinds of drawers for storage. Seriously, every inch of space in the back of his truck has been used with the special equipment. You know that he likes his new truck better than that old car.

Why do I need fender flares? 20

fender flaresAlright, so it’s not the most common question that you’ve ever heard asked, but it something worth wondering about. If you are a truck owner, there are plenty of things that you can add to your truck that will make it a lot better. A truck tool box, for instance, will add a whole lot of class and style to your truck. Fender flares are similarly great for this purpose. So to answer the question, do you need them on your truck?

There are plenty of reasons why people choose to add these things to their vehicle, and not all of them are the same. If you talk to some truck owners, you will find that it’s all about the look. How do you set your truck apart from everyone else who happens to own one of these guys? The answer is really quite simple - you add a little something to it. Some other people like these things because they protect the actual fender of your car. It’s cheaper to replace a flare if you get into an accident than it is to actually replace the fender itself. Whatever the basis for this choice, it’s evident that people are popularizing these add-ons in a big way.
