Nerf Bar for Your Truck or SUV

March 31st, 2008 by admin

Nerf bars are not anything that is considered soft. Sometimes when you hear the words nerf bar you think about a nerf ball, that is soft and flexible but the truth of the matter is that nerf bars are hard, metal, and often times used to tie things into the back of a truck or to step on when you are getting in and out of your truck.

A nerf bar is going to be known by other things as well. You see trucks that have side steps to get up in the truck, this is also a nerf bar. You see trucks that are going down the road with a bar in the bed that is used to tie things in the back of the truck, this is a nerf bar. You see trucks or suvs that are going down the road with a bar over the front, along the front of the grill, this is also known as a nerf bar. A nerf bar is a round, tube like thing that is mounted on a vehicle, usually a truck but often times can be found on a suv as well. A nerf bar is sometimes known as a sports bar as well.

The nerf bars that you see most often are not installed at the factory. This is a way that people will customize and change the appearance of their truck or suv. The nerf bar can be installed using the factory mounts, which are holes and brackets in the vehicles. If you are putting a nerf bar on a vehicle that doesn’t have holes, your mechanic could make holes for the installation of a nerf bar without a problem.

The types of nerve bars you can buy are going to be tube like metal pieces that will be bent and fit for your particular vehicle. You can buy chrome nerve bars, or you can buy polished metal nerve bars. You can paint nerve bars or you can coat them with a plastic covering. Nerf bars also come in plastic, that are not heavy duty but that are created only to change the overall look and feel of the vehicle.

The nerf bars that are installed on the side of a vehicle are used to climb in and out of the truck or suv. These bars are made to support the weight of the person stepping into the vehicle and rarely are ever made of plastic. The nerf bars that are included for the use of the side of the vehicle are often times going to be flat in portions of the bar, for easy stepping into the truck without slipping off. Nerf bars can include logos, designs, and sometimes are painted brightly to catch the attention of people around them. Nerf bars are used to make a vehicle look more sport like, so that one feels as if they are different from all the other vehicles out there on the streets.

A Look at Truck Tire Chains

March 31st, 2008 by admin

Truck tire chains can be purchased for everything from a pickup truck to an 18-wheeler. Drivers can find a chain to fit just about any need, spanning every size and style, and desired performance.

Single highway truck chains are recommended for highway use on trucks, buses, and RVs. For trucks that see more off road action than highway time, single V-Bar reinforced traction chains are recommended. This type of chain is available for light trucks, heavy trucks, busses, and RVs.

Of course, studded truck tire chains are always a good choice for off-roading. Drivers should first make sure that studs are legal in their state. If they are, studded cross chains provide one of the best options for off-road traction. Single studded truck tire chains can be purchased in 6, 7, or 8 mm. Dual triple studded tire chains are also available in 6, 7, or 8 mm.

For dual tires that are more accustomed to highway driving, dual triple truck, bus, and RV chains are recommended. The V-Bar is also available for dual tires. For vehicles with minimal clearance between dual wheels, dual mount chains are built without a center chain.

Finally, wide base chains are available for vehicles that have minimal clearance between wide base tires. Whether driving a light truck, heavy duty truck, bus, or RV, truck tire chains are available for every condition.

Tire Chains Info provides detailed information about automatic, snow, tractor, truck, ATV, skidder, and snow blower tire chains, as well as tire chain rentals. Tire Chains Info is the sister site of Trailer Hitches Web.

Unmanned Robotic Truck Wash Tunnels

March 31st, 2008 by admin

With labor costs soaring and the quality of work ethic in the United States lacking we will need to have more robotic systems to do those jobs that most humans will not do. You should understand that this is becoming critical and is not an anti-union or worker sentiment, but rather an industry known choice, which is becoming more and more prevalent. In the truck washing business for instance it can take as many as 10-30 men for a 1-3 bay truck wash and that is a lot of folks. Still each truck takes about 20-30 minutes from the time it comes into the bay until it exits.

Washing equipment such as trucks without the use of people is possible and can be done, but it is not an “Easy” proposition to get it right. You have to know what you are doing and not allow equipment salesmen to baffle you with Bullshit, which they are all too good at. You see at the end of the day all that really matters is;

1.)Is the Truck actually clean

2.)Did you clean it without damaging it; the paint, the decals, the mirrors, wipers or some other component.

The rest is “water under the truck wash” if you understand the flow of thought here? The truck wash sector is going robotic like it or not. For those who claim that an all hand wash is better, well that maybe true today and for a few more years, but soon their will be no difference between a robotic truck wash or one done by a small team of humans, in fact the robotics will get incrementally better until, the humans can no longer compete in quality or costs. Think on this in 2006.
