Are you a truck enthusiast? Or just take pride in the looks of your truck? Aftermarket truck accessories are what can separate your truck from the pack. I am a big fan of aftermarket truck accessories because I love the feeling of driving by another vehicle and watching the heads turn to stare at my ride.
I personally drive a 1999 Chevy Blazer. I have several add ons on my Blazer. Let's start with the rims. I have 20 inch chrome Rozzi Detentions wrapped with 255/35/20 Falken GRB FK-451 tires.
Once I put on my new rims I loved them, expect for the large gap that I now had in my wheel well. So I bought a Belltech 3/3 drop kit and lowered it 3 inches.
As I started to look at pictures online and in magazine of other Blazers I realized that I had not yet begun to scratch the surface of the potential that my Blazer had. I decided to remove the Westin Nerf Bars that I had and add a Street Scene bumper, side skirts and custom grille. This gave my Blazer the look of a Extreme Blazer in my eyes. Then I added a few other odds and ins such as euro lights, window visors, floor mats, racing pedals, and headlight covers.
Guess what, there is still so much more that I could do to this Blazer.
It becomes addictive. Next on my wish list is a custom hood, and possibly a custom paint job. With so many resources out there for ideas such as truck magazines and truck enthusiast web sites the possibilities are truly endless.

Suzuki Recalls 2006 Eigers
The American Suzuki Motor Corporation has already set out press releases everywhere. And in the press release they are recalling the 2006 models of the Suzuki Eiger all terrain vehicles.
According to the company, they have found out that the mountain brackets that were used to secure the left-front suspension arm of the vehicle to the actual frame of the Suzuki Eiger were not welded entirely. Thus, such a situation with the left-front suspension arm could lead to a breakage of the said Suzuki ATV part and could lead to much worse car problems. The company claims that with the recall, they would be able to fix the problem and send out the 2006 Suzuki Eigers with perfectly welded parts that would pose no further problems to owners and drivers.
This act towards recalling the 2006 Suzuki Eiger was done after the company did receive a note from the Consumer Product Safety Commission,...
What to look for when making that Racing Go Cart purchase
With all the choices in chassis and motors, it can become a dilemma if you don't know what you are looking for when making that racing go cart purchase. If you have an unlimited racing budget, then by all means just buy all new stuff, any of the major go cart manufacturers make a great product. If your racing budget is small, and you are looking for the right cart for your money, I will give you some things that I look for in buying a potential cart for resale, or for personal use.Overall appearance is most important, because you can see just how well the cart has been treated by the way it looks at first glance. From there I look at the axel and all components linked to it, I am looking for the axel to have little or no rust on it and I spin the tires to make sure the axel isn't bent, and that the bearings roll free. You should not hear the bearings when the axel is turning, if you do they will need to be changed soon.
Then check the brakes out to make sure there are no leaks...

A Guide To Discount Tires
Worn tires compromise an automobile's safety, traction, and gas mileage. Buying new tires is intimidating due to the cost; thus a number of car owners replace worn tires with discount tires. Discount tires may be bought from the original dealership, warehouse stores, or the automobile section at a department store.
When purchasing discount tires, a car owner must be aware of the manufacturer's name, model year, and model name of the vehicle. That is generally all a tire store needs to know to fit correct tires on the vehicle.
It helps to be aware of the size and rating of the tires. If the discount tires are pre-owned, a car owner must make certain that the tread is of adequate depth for gripping the road, that there is uniform wear across the tire, and that there are no bands breaking through the tire.
It is imperative that, even under budget constraints, a car owner does not purchase tires that have a lower speed index or load rating than the original...
