If you think, it isn’t the right time to prepare for
winter, and then you are wrong. You must be prepared for winters because they
not only slow down the pace of humans but also impact the pace of cars and
trucks. So, in that case, it becomes necessary to buy replacement car parts to enhance its performance and keep it going in such
chilly weather.
Remote
starter
Who wants to enter a chilling car and sit on cold
seats when you are coming after grocery shopping in such a cold weather? One
way you can use your remote starter- if you set the thermostat and defroster
before turning off your car the night before, you can start it remotely in the
morning to have it warmed up before it is time to go.
Its not bad to invest in a good quality remote starter.
Remote starters play vital role in not only making your interior warm before
you enter in such an extremely cold weather but they also enhance engine’s
performance by letting it warm for sometime.
This will also help in clearing the ice away from your
windshield.
Fog lights
It is very important for the fog lights of your truck
to work in good condition before the winter arrives. This is because in case
you are passing through, dense fog, you might need to turn them on to let the
other drivers know about your presence on road.
Fog lights should not be used otherwise and you might
be fined for using them inappropriately. They are useful in winter storms.
We
often cant see what is in front of us in such dense weather and its extremely dangerous
to roam around with heavy cargo at our back. Turn on your truck’s fog lights in
order to get clear view of the road.
Tow straps
When it comes to getting a truck unstuck, the best way
is to invest in good quality tow straps, cables and hooks.
A tow strap is a strong nylon strap with hooks hard
sewn into each end. Because of their small, lightweight size, these are ideal
for keeping on hand in any vehicle that’s prone to getting stuck.
A tow strap can be a life saver if used correctly. A
tow strap will help you get out of the stressful situation.
Winch
Winches are lifesaver for your truck. Whether you are
stalled mid way or the UTV has fallen upside down on a ditch, the winches are
always a friend.
Now that we are talking about getting the truck out of
the sticky situation, winches do wonders in getting out of the snow bank. For
everyone who is an off roader or someone who has to traverse through rough
areas, winches are a must have truck accessory.
Snow Plough
as it continues to get colder out this fall, its time
to start making preparations for winter weather. It becomes difficult to move
around in snowy weather without clearing the snow out of driveway.
You must buy a snow plough keeping in mind what type
of truck you are using. Any truck smaller than ¾ ton is not a snow plough truck,
but many manufacturer still make plough that can fit SUVs, Quarter ton and Half
ton trucks.
Expandable ploughs are great for clearing lots of
varying sizes because of the flexibility and ploughing capacity they can
provide. While choosing material, you should be careful. Stainless steel has
more visual appeal than poly and is also corrosion resistant. But stainless
steel is prone to denting and dings. Mild steel remains a snow plough workhorse
with great durability, rigidity and excellent value.
Floor mats
Winter weather always gets messy. Between salt, ice,
snow and slush there’s a lot of gunk you don’t want puddling on the floor of
your truck. Avoid this problem by getting some fresh floor mats.
This will help you protect your truck’s floor as your
boots track in winter grime.
Emergency
gear
During an emergency is a lousy time to think of all
the things you should have been carrying. The important thing is not to wait
until the last minute to prepare.
Make a vehicle checklist of these things- heater and
defroster, emergency flashers, brakes and brake fluid level, antifreeze and
radiator, windshield wiper operation, tire pressure and tread depth, fuel
level, oil level, batteries etc.
Also keep an emergency kit that contains- a good set
of jumper cables, flashlight, a jack and a lug wrench, spare tire (if
possible), emergency signalling devices, food, water, sleeping bag, knife and a
mobile charger( in case you need to ask for help).
Never forget to follow this checklist if you want a
hassle free ride in winter. Here, we sell only the most durable original
equipment and aftermarket auto accessories and parts in the auto parts
industry.
Nevertheless, proper care and maintenance of the
overall car is very important. If in case, some of your auto body parts are
worn out already, there's no need to worry.
