Christmas gift idea lists are a plenty during this time of year, so what’s one more. Well, the MOST IMPORTANT gift idea list obviously. That’s right, this one is for your truck.
The Lund Bi-Fold Ramp makes loading heavier objects a breeze.
But before we get on with our list of ideas, here’s a note from one of our sponsors:
For the holiday season, AutoAnything.com is offering big discounts on parts, free shipping, AND cash back on orders over $199.
»Get $30 off $399 w/code KEEP30 at AutoAnything. Ends 12/30/11. Restrictions apply.
1) Lund Bi-Fold Loading Ramp. Are you constantly loading and unloading your pick up bed? Getting tired of lifting boxes each time one of your ‘friends’ asks you to help them move. Then get this cool loading ramp to make the job easier.
The American made, rust-resistant, durable and light-weight aluminum Lund Loading Ramp will save your back while helping you breeze through loading items. You can even use it for your ATVs, dirt bikes, rototillers or any other heavy gear that you need. Each of the panels holds 750lbs for a combined total of 1,500lbs!
The best part is that it comes apart easily and has a rubber angle protector to protect your tailgate. Save your back, get a ramp.
A Tonneau Cover is always a nice addition to any pick up truck.
2) A Tonneau Cover. For years, tonneau covers have been a great accessory for pickups since they cover and protect the contents of the truck bed while also streamlining the truck’s appearance. And tonneau covers often come with a locking mechanism, they’re a decent way to add a whole lot of “trunk space” to a pickup truck. While there are too many tonneau options to list, some of the most popular tonneau covers include:
- Undercover Tonneau cover – See our review of the Undercover Tonneau cover for the break-down.
- BakFlip Tonneau cover – The Bakflip Tonneau review is that it’s easy for one person to install and remove.
- The Truxedo Tonneau cover is an inexpensive way to cover the bed, but it’s not really secure. It does, however, look nice.
- Extang Trifecta Tonneau cover – We reviewed the Extang solid-fold tonneau, which is basically a more expensive version of the trifecta. Both are quite popular.
aFe's cold air intake kit is a great gift idea.
3) A Cold Air Intake Kit. This great addition to your truck isn’t as well-known as tonneau covers or side-steps, but cold air intakes offer more power, better gas mileage, and they make the engine sound even meaner than it already does. It’s a very cool gift idea for the hot-rod type of truck owner.
Westin's Platinum Oval Steps are a best-seller.
4) Some step bars. As trucks have gotten taller thanks to the many lift kits on the market, so has the challenge of climbing into your ride. Solve that problem with some step bars. There are thousands of step bars to choose from, but Westin’s Platinum Oval Step Bars are top-sellers on AutoAnything.com and only $200-$400 per set depending on your truck.
We like after market exhaust systems made by Borla, Gibson, Flowmaster, and Magnaflow.
5) A cat-back exhaust system. Does your truck need more power, better gas mileage and more powerful sound coming from the exhaust. Well, duh, of course it does! This is another great gift for a hot-rod truck owner. Check out our Tundra exhaust system overview for more info.
