More than one in five vehicles sold in the US are pickup trucks, and why not? They're an excellent family vehicle with tons of space inside for passengers and cargo. And with rugged tires, sturdy suspension, and a truck bed, there’s nothing better for guys who want to work and play hard.
If a guy you know loves his rig and there’s a special day coming up, treat him to something unique that he will love. Here are ten great gifts for truck guys you’ll find at JEGS.
Road Armor 12,000 lb Electric Winch
Getting stuck is a rite of passage; some guys do it for fun. Whether on purpose or accidental, getting a truck out of the muck requires some pulling power, and the Road Armor 12,000-lb electric winch is a great option. Using the truck’s 12-volt power, this winch has enough gumption to yank a big vehicle – even larger than a full-size truck – out of a tough spot. All he’ll need is a winch mount, but he’s probably already got a bumper winch mount, right?
A New Exhaust System
From the factory, trucks today must comply with a long list of regulations, whether it’s noise limitations, fuel economy standards, or emissions. But after it’s already his, a truck exhaust system is something that genuinely says he’s special… with a mean growl. Check out a complete Magnaflow or Flowmaster exhaust system from the cat back, or even just a muffler that gives his truck a louder roar or a husky tone. With options from cat-back to axle-back or even just a tailpipe tip, it’s a personal touch.
Accessories for… Well… Access
AMP Research BedStep
Age creeps up on all of us, and hopping up and down from the tailgate can make you feel like you’ve wrenched your back or messed up your knees. The AMP Research BedStep could almost claim to be a medical device for all the injuries it’s prevented. Fitting to the corner of the truck frame under the rear bumper, it kicks down as a step-up. When you’re done, it tucks back up out of the way. It’s available for virtually every make and model of pickup.
Rough Country Electric Running Boards
For the fairer of the species or the vertically challenged, climbing up into the truck cab can be a stretch. Heck, even for able-bodied tall guys, running boards are nice to have. But even better, when they retract out of the way for times, you’re getting a little ornery in the field or over rough roads. Rough Country Electric Running Boards are wired to lower when you open the door, retract when it’s closed, and many even light up so you can see the puddle you’re about to step into. Plus, they’re more competitively priced than other brands without sacrificing quality.
Must-Have Truck Tools
JEGS High Lift 3-Ton Steel Jack
Everyone needs to lift a wheel off the ground occasionally, and the dinky factory jack is almost more of a hazard than a help. A JEGS High Lift 3-Ton Steel Jack is one of the best gifts for truck owners, and it will get used a lot. From changing flat tires to lifting a buddy’s bumper to clearing a rock on the trail, it’s among the most versatile tools you’ll ever have.
Rampage Trail Can Utility Tool Box
One of the most brilliant truck gifts you could ask for looks like an old-school Jerry Can, but what’s inside is the cool surprise (not your hack wrapping job). The Rampage trail Can Utility Tool Box fakes out anyone looking to pilfer tools, overlooking the inconspicuous jerry can, but it unfolds to reveal its goodies. Equipped with a locking cap, removable drawers, a tote tray, and non-slip liners, this toolbox will wow anyone who sees it used.
Updating Old Tools
JEGS Pro Digital Tire Gauge
Those silly little stick tire pressure gauges are almost impossible to read. Update his gauge today with a fancy digital version, the JEGS Pro Digital Tire Gauge. It’s ideal for home garages, on-the-go toolboxes, and pitstops on the track. It has an 18-inch hose so you can read the display without being a contortionist, a 45-degree air chuck, and a backlit display so he can use it at night, too.
JEGS Dead Blow Hammer Set
No frills, just plenty of rage-releasing impact. It doesn’t matter if it’s a seized bolt to bang out, a ball joint to slam in, or a set of running boards you’re trying to install. A set of high-quality JEGS Dead Blow Hammers will save plenty of time and effort. It includes a 16-ounce hammer with a steel face and a peen, an 8-ounce urethane-coated hammer, and a 12-ounce brass-plated cap hammer, and he will love each of them. He might even throw away the carpenter’s hammer he’s used instead.
Truck Maintenance Tools
JEGS Square 5-Gallon Utility Jug Kit
Maybe it seems mundane, but not spilling gas on his shoes will make this one of the truck gifts he gets excited about. The JEGS Square 5-Gallon Utility Jug Kit comes with a highly flexible clear jug hose so he can skip the flimsy yellow plastic tubes that always crack or get holes. The handle makes it easy to pour, and it includes a funnel if it’s something other than fuel you’re pouring.
JEGS Soft Magnetic Fender Cover
If it seems like he loves his truck more than his children or spouse, he probably wants the softest, most protective fender cover when working on it. The JEGS Soft Magnetic Fender Cover has a gentle fleece outer layer with nylon lining, preventing scratches on the paint where his belt buckle or jeans rivets usually make contact. Plus, with six magnets, it won’t slip out of place while it’s in use.
