Cheapest Dodge Ram Logo Easy Fit Mud Guard - Set of 2


I purchased this product for a 1500 Ram and it fits perfect. It was easy to install and looks great on a black truck. The mud guards don't hang down too far where they will drag if pulling something heavy but are long enough to protect whatever is being pulled from the stuff that flies off of over sized tires. They are't made out of cheap material. It is a heavy rubber that has been holding up without any signs of wear and tear. They aren't too wide where they stick out the side of the truck and look funny either. I have had them on my truck for about 4 months and so far, I am very happy with the product.Get more detail about Dodge Ram Logo Easy Fit Mud Guard - Set of 2.

Buy Hella Twin Tone Horn Kit


These horns are a nice replacement for the junk-
stock horns on any car or truck.

Don't be fooled by the dB volume rating given by HELLA! These are AS LOUD- but NO LOUDER than your stock passenger horns!!!

Housings are as durable as the O.E.M. horns you are removing; all exposed metal parts have nice gold irridate plating.

And..........how can you beat the price-AMAZON beats all others!!!!!!

Purchase Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box Hanger


Nothing fancy here, the Cargo Box Hanger works as advertised. It's a little expensive so I first went to Home Depot to see if I could build something cheaper. Well, I could have struggled with odds and ends to make something but I would not have looked as nice or been as sturdy. This thing is sturdy.

One problem, the supplied screws both broke off in the wall despite a pre-drilling and using a slow drill speed. Yakima needs to provide sturdier screws. The holes for the screws do not allow for a much larger diameter screw either.Get more detail about Yakima Rooftop Cargo Box Hanger.

Order Champion Power Equipment C30145 Winch Kit - 3,000 Pound Capacity


The winch was as advertised, it was an old model but that is to be expected for the price. The fairlead fit the bracket that came with the unit but would not fit the bumper hitch bracket made by the same company. I had to buy a new fairlead to fit the speed fit bracket because the hole centers were different from one bracket to another. I called them and they said that they had changed the fairleads to a standard size so I would have to buy one from them for around $30 even though both brackets were from them and the box said it would fit their 3000 # winch. I guess you get what you pay for.

Shop For Yakima Fork Lift Fork Mount Rooftop Bike Rack


I have this mounted on my 2008 Subaru Impreza STI with OEM Factory bars and the fit is perfect. I had a problem with other racks that were made for either round or square bars. My OEM bars are large and oval-shaped, and this rack had no problems fitting on. The clamps are very sturdy.

I took my mountain bike on a 5 hour drive to Mammoth Mountain from Los Angeles, even hitting speeds of 80+. The rack held up very well. I prefer the fork mounted design of this rack because it seems like a more secure way to mount the bike. I only wish it came with a separate front wheel holder so I didn't have to throw the front wheel in my trunk.Get more detail about Yakima Fork Lift Fork Mount Rooftop Bike Rack.

97-01 TOYOTA CAMRY MIRROR LH (DRIVER SIDE), Power, Non-Heated, For USA Built Cars (1997 97 1998 98 1999 99 2000 00 2001 01) TY26EL 87940AA010C0 Top Quality


I thought this product would be a problem in some way because it was so inexpensive but it worked as well as the orignial mirror with no problems at all. Between my husband and I, we make adjustments to this mirror 2 to 3 times a day when we take turns driving. We have had it on the car for about 2 weeks now and we still have not experienced any problems. A couple of wrecking yards wanted $100 for an unpainted mirror. Needless to say, I was very pleased with my purchase--my paint job on the mirror is a different story however.

Blitz 50863 Water Container This instant


This product is described as featuring a "Transparent color (that) allows view of water level." Unfortunately, that is not true. Mine came molded in an opaque blue plastic, and you cannot see the water level.

Also, the spout is made from a thin plastic that feels brittle, and both it and the container have poorly molded threads that make it easy to cross-thread the spout when attaching it. Furthermore, the container cannot be sealed without the spout in place and exposed as shown in the product photo. This all combines to make the spout a vulnerable weak point that could be relatively easily snapped off, rendering the container useless.

I will keep mine since I don't intend to use it regularly and I think the spout will survive my limited use, but my next purchase will be a genuine army-issue water can. They are much more durable.

Heininger Automotive 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar "Full-Size" Get it now!


While there was only 1 other review (favorable) for this product and it seemed a bit pricy, I took a chance and bought it. And I've very glad that I did. I have a Dodge Dakota pickup with a 61" width bed, and so was concerned about the fit, but it fits both compact and full-size pickup trucks - I came out fine. This is a high quality, heavy duty bar. After installing it, I have no worry about it breaking, bending or not being able to stabilize whatever load I put in my truck. I would recommend this bar to my friends. I opted not to get the HitchMate Cargo Divider Bar, but I know where to go if I need it in the future. Get more detail about Heininger Automotive 4016 HitchMate Cargo Stabilizer Bar "Full-Size".

Transformers Deceptacon Sticker (Decal) - 5.5" Buy Now


We ordered the Autobot sticker and then we decided we needed 2 more... when the first one came we were dismayed to see that we were charged $8.99 shipping on a $1.99 sticker (it's not like it arrived in a speedy fashion). We said at least the next 2 stickers are coming together and we will only be socked with the shipping once - but we were wrong. The stickers came together but we were charged $6.00 for one sticker and $5.99 for the other even though they came in the same envelope together and with no additional packaging than if it had been the one sticker. So the 3 stickers, at $1.99 each, actually cost us $27!!! So in conclusion, look elsewhere.Get more detail about Transformers Deceptacon Sticker (Decal) - 5.5".

This is a very nice product with high quality components. Warning, Item description says it will fit factory roof racks.... this is ONLY true if your factory bars are LESS than 1.25" wide.

Hollywood Racks F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Decide Now


This is a sturdy bike rack. You should feel safe. However I doubt it can fit four bicycles as it claims since I really have a hard time to put even three bikes. Before you purchase this rack, you also should know that this rack only comes with one strap for fastening the bike. If you plan to put more bicycles on it, you need to buy extra straps.Get more detail about Hollywood Racks F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.

Purchased this mirror 2 years ago and use it during all season towing. The weather has taken its toll on the straps, but the mirror fits well. Even at highway speeds, very little vibration. Expect the rubber straps to need to be replaced if used in hot and cold environments. Good value for the money.Get more detail about K Source 3791 Universal Clip-on Trailer Towing Mirror 5" x 7".

Discount Bully CR-600L 600 Series Receiver Hitch Mounted Step


Nice step. I bought one used before and was really happy with it until I backed into a cement base of a light pole in a parking lot. I hit it pretty hard and thought I had trashed my bumper. When I looked though, the Bully hitch step had taken all of the impact! No damage at all to my vehicle, but wasted the Bully step. This thing saved me probably $1600. I left the old one on until I received this one. I won't EVER be without one now. I HIGHLY recommend this product. The LEDs work very well and make you much more visible to anyone behind you at night, when you really need it. The new price here through Amazon was almost as much as I paid for a used one. Buy new, save the hassle.Get more detail about Bully CR-600L 600 Series Receiver Hitch Mounted Step.

Cheapest TerraLUX TLE-3 MiniStar3 LED Replacement Bulb Kit with 3 Super Bright White LED's for Mini Maglite and 2AA Flashlight

Last time I bought a noname flashlight which works 1AA battery and it has 1 LED for 3 USD. With this replacement bulb product My maglite is same bright as noname cheap product. So I only waste my money for this product. I do not recommend people to buy this product. About battery life maybe they are right. Battery lasts in long time. BUT ITS NOT BRIGHT.

Buy Curt Manufacturing F-18 2 In X 2 In Tube Cover Plastic Black Bulk


Like the other person said, its cheap looking. It does a job, but it won't last through any sort of blunt force, and it sticks out a bit from the hitch. I was hoping it would be flush, but instead it sticks out another 2" from the hitch opening.

PIAA 19223 10-Watt Xtreme White Miniature Dome Light


As I had a nine LED dome light giving good, bright, truly white light along with short lifespan, I gave this PIAA bulb a chance, expecting more durability AND the white light advertised, also with proper light distribution (which is the weakness of LED units).

I was COMPLETELY FOOLED. The light is very dim, times under my previous LED and not even on par with the OEM bulb (the car is a Honda Civic 2003 4-door), and, worst of all, not white at all, but yellow as any normal incandescent bulb.

I replaced as soon as I could with a new, 16-LED source, that gives me proper interior lighting with very even light dispersion. I recommend this one much more. PIAA? Don't waste your time and money on them. In my case, those belong in trash since a few days ago.Get more detail about PIAA 19223 10-Watt Xtreme White Miniature Dome Light.

Thule 961XT Speedway 2-Bike Trunk Rack Get it now!


This is an excellent bike rack but the hatchback design for the newer hatchback SI leaves some improvements to be desired for the trunk mount. The top and bottom hooks are secure but the ones mounted near the rear brake lights (as shown in the Thule example) seem to slide down as the car hits bumps in the road. This loosens the mount and it begins to bounce more as you ride. There are no sharp corners to adequately hold the side hooks so I am looking to add something (tape or closed cell foam) to prevent slipping. Secondly, my mountain bike design does not fit well on the rack. I have to rest the rear suspension spring on the bike rack arm so the weight is not evenly distributed. This could be another element causing the side hooks to slip. Either way, it's an excellent bike rack aside from the design issues with my hatchback Civic SI and Iron Horse mountain bike.

We took this car top carrier on a 12-hour road trip and got caught in a rainstorm that actually caused a bit of a flash flood. We sat in pouring rain for about a half hour (and I mean pouring--like being in a car wash) and everything stayed perfectly dry inside the carrier. Also, it never felt like we had a carrier on top of the car--very aerodynamic. Pretty expensive, but I'm glad I got it.Get more detail about Thule 604 Ascent 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black).

[ Wagan Wireless Rear Backup Safety Sensor]]

Easily installed if you are handy with tools and wiring (about 2 hours). I installed the system about a month ago on a Tundra pickup. The license frame mounting was very simple. The range is very short like all of the after market sensors but it is a great help in parking and connecting to a trailer. With a canopy it is difficult to see behind. For the price I think it is well worth it.Get more detail about Wagan EL2456 Wireless Rear Backup Safety Sensor.

Low Price Wilmar W1623 4 Ton Bottle Jack


If you read what little instructions are posted on the side of the jack and on the box, you may be fine with this.

I accidentally over-loostened the lowering nipple and spilled fluid out the bottom. I dutifully cleaned it up, and purchased more fluid. The problem is that there are no clear steps on refilling.

Looking on the web, instructions generally said to pump the jack all the way up, fill in the fill hole until it's level, then let it back down, and repeat.

Now, it extends up 1" because there's air trapped in the shaft, and I'll be darned if I can't figure out how to 'burp' it. Wilmar's webisite is a media page (pretty without content) but some simple instructions in a pamphlet would be very helpful.

It's a cheap, bottle jack. You get what you pay for.Get more detail about Wilmar W1623 4 Ton Bottle Jack.

Cheapest Trailer Alignment Kit Magnet Hitch Line Up Boat Camper


I give this ten stars.

I rent but have a trailer that I pull with a small car. My landlord doesn't allow any kind of trailer in the parking lot, so I have to park on the street. I have to move it every few days because of city laws, so I keep it connected to my car.

I have been dragging the trailer around just to go to the hardware store. I have a clutch which makes it very difficult to line it up forward/backward.

I bought this because thought it would make it much easier to detach and attach my trailer, so I wouldn't have to use my wife's car if I didn't want to drag my trailer around.

The first time I used this it worked like magic. If you put the one of these on the car, right in front of the hitch ball, when it hits the trailer ball socket it will tilt forward. You can see that happen in the rear view mirror (in most cars) and you know when to stop.

To align left-to-right, when backing up you just keep the metal telescopic poles visually in line in the rear view mirror, and turn the steering wheel left or right as necessary. In my case everything lined up perfectly on the first try. I stopped the car and got out. I did not have to get back into the car. The ball was lined up perfectly with the socket. I just lowered the trailer socket and clamped it together. That day, I spent more time cleaning, lubricating the ball, and connecting safety chains and the electrical plug, than I did hitching the ball.

My only regret is that I did not think of this invention myself and make a million dollars on it.

The magnets are very strong. It extends 43 inches. So far the foam balls have held pretty good but I'm not taking chance, so I grab the thinnest part of the telescope with my fingers to make it longer, rather than pull it up by the ball, fearing it may break off the ball.

I just love this device and it will change the way I manage my trailer/car use relationship for the better.Get more detail about Trailer Alignment Kit Magnet Hitch Line Up Boat Camper.
