We love our trucks here in Australia and many of us treat them like an extended member of the family. We give our ride a name and we try to take care of them as best we can. You will see many Australians out on the weekends washing their trucks and polishing them to a deep shine. Many people say that our trucks are an extension of ourselves and so this is why we want to add to them and not only increase their value but also make them stand out from the others.
There are so many different things that you can add to your truck to liven it up and to give it some much-needed care and attention. You could always invest in some new ute trays that are not only practical but they look amazing as well. If you are growing tired of how your truck looks currently at the moment and you would like to add some things to give it an upgrade then the following are just some suggestions.
- New wheels & tyres – These are things that can transform the whole look of your truck and because they are such a popular addition all across Australia, this has helped to drive the prices downwards. This is great news for you and there are many different wheels to choose from as well as many excellent tyres that you can use on the road or off-road as well. Make sure that you do not prioritise looks over performance because you also need to keep yourself and your family members safe when out on Australia’s roads.
- Install some LED light bars – It is important that we are able to see clearly in the dark and especially if you live out in the countryside where many animals are known to run into the road. Hitting one of these animals like a kangaroo, for example, cannot only kill the animal involved but cause extensive damage to your pickup truck. The bills can run into many thousands of dollars and so this is why it makes sense to improve your visibility once the sun goes down.
- Get a ute liner – If you are going to buy a brand new affordable tray then it makes perfect sense that you would want to protect it as well so you can choose from a number of many different liner options. You could also invest in some rubber mats to protect the surface and minimise any damage caused by any cargo that you might be carrying.
Many Australians also install nudge bars that can also be incredibly functional but also add some much-needed glamour to your ride. The thing to always keep in the back of your mind is that you shouldn’t make any major significant modifications to your truck because if you do, you’re going to require the right kind of certification, so don’t start to go shopping until you are knowledgeable about this.
