If your truck has been with you a while, it might be time to give it a bit of a makeover. Everyone wants to own the coolest truck on the block. However, spare parts cost plenty and maintenance can be tricky. Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out where to begin and this article is here to guide you. If you are looking to spruce up your truck from the inside out, here are a few tips to get you started.
A New Set of Tires
The quickest way to improve your truck’s efficiency is to change the worn-out tires with a newer set for a smoother ride. New tires improve fuel efficiency and safety. Choosing the right set can be tricky so you need to be careful about the size and make, since this affects the longevity of the tires.
Adding Height with Lift Kits
Many truck owners want to add height to their vehicles without spending thousands. The easiest way to achieve this would be possible only with the help of lift kits which can raise your truck by up to 3 inches. Always get the parts installed by a verified dealer, who deals in truck repairs so your truck’s warranty isn’t void.
Changing the Headlights
Trucks usually come with LED or HID lamps, but if you don’t have LEDs for your truck, avoid fitting a cheaper set. The cheaper lights found at spare parts markets often don’t match the lumen output you would expect and may give off a white and bright glare. This may cause disturbance and is a safety hazard for oncoming drivers. Avoid this scenario and get HID lights to replace your existing headlights.
Make a Bold Statement
You could change the whole vibe of your truck by making a few changes at the front. Most trucks look the same when they leave the factory and an upgrade can help you stand out from the rest. Front grilles are the best accessories you can experiment with and you’ll find a wide range of options available.
While some would like to fit the grilles themselves, it can be safer to approach professionals for such work. If you want to get a stunning look, opt for dust-coated or chrome-finished grilles.
Revamp the Upholstery
The older your truck gets, the duller your seats will look, no matter how hard you try to clean it. After a while, the seat covers tend to fade and you’ll notice a little wear and tear, especially around the edges. This eventually damages your seat, which could be a more expensive affair to repair. It is recommended to regularly change the upholstery of your car seats, not just for the visual appeal but for long-term maintenance.
Choosing a darker seat cover shade is a smart choice since it looks less dirty and you won’t have to worry about washing them as often. You could also opt for leather or faux leather seat covers but those are a little more difficult to maintain as compared to fabric covers, which are removable and washable.
The longer you have your truck, the more you’ll want to keep it well-maintained. As a result, the longer it will last and retain a strong resale value. A few simple steps can not only help you spruce up your truck from the inside out but make it as good as new. That way, you’ll enjoy a comfortable and stylish ride every time you get behind the wheel.
