A candid and real look at snow removal.
Hi, we here at RealTruck have been getting thousands of inquires wondering what my feelings are about snow removal. (Ok, that’s not true, we haven’t had any, but if we did, this is what I would say to them)
I live in Jamestown, North Dakota where the average snowfall can be anywhere from 26 inches to 40. I live in a normal home with a double driveway about 20 feet across by 40 foot in length. I have looked at all the snow removal options available and would like to share my thoughts on them.
Back Breaker
Shovel: The good old fashioned snow shovel. Where do I start with the problems with this solution? Time, hassle, freezing cold, danger just to name a few. I don’t have time to stand out in the cold and throw snow off to the side with my shovel. Don’t be fooled by commercials that show you just walking behind a shovel and gently pushing it as you go. That does not happen. Snow has a mind of its own and digs in and gets heavier as you go. I watched my neighbor try this gradual stroll down his driveway while pushing his shovel. I think he was even whistling as he did this. It all looked good for the first few seconds, until he hit his first crack in the driveway. He then found himself lying flat on his back watching the snowflakes attack from the sky. Shoveling is only a good option for small sidewalks. And please no one write me about what a good workout this it. So is carrying your child on your back to take them to school. I don’t plan on doing that anytime soon. Sorry Shovel, it’s time for you to shove off.
Snow Blower: Here is the next great invention that 1985 brought. A snow blower. A machine that will actually blow the snow off of your driveway. When I first saw this, we had just gotten our first microwave and cordless phone (the kind that has the really big antenna, but I digress) The snow blower has its place in snow removal. If you get a light powdery snow once in a while and have a semi-large area to clean off, a snow blower is a great way to do that. With costs ranging from $1000 to $1500, it will move some snow. The drawbacks are that I still have time issues and I am still standing out in the frigid winter air. I am not making this up, my other neighbor is a snow blower guy. He literally looks like someone who is going on an expedition to Antarctica when I see him out there at night. Not a bad solution, but not the right one for me.
SnowSport Plow
Snow Plow: Not an option for a guy like me. I drive a pickup and my wife drives a mini-van. There is no way we are spending $3000 on some big bulky plow that will probably do a ton of damage to my vehicle. That’s where the SnowSport Snow Plow comes into play. A light-weight aluminum snow blade that will work with most pickups, SUVs or even mini-vans. I am not going to go into a long description of how the snowsport works, if you want that click here. I will tell you that this is the perfect solution to my situation. The blade literally goes on/off in seconds. I often will plow on Sundays at half time of the game. What about cost? I bought the Snowsport HD complete package which cost me $1450, the same as a high end snow blower. I also checked on a snow service. Their cost was about $500 a month. We get snow at least 5 months out of the year. Not a good option. SnowSport also make different models that start at under a thousand. I never realized that a snow plow would be a viable option for someone like me. If you find yourself in need of an affordable, time saving and effective snow removal solution, the SnowSport Snow Plow could be the perfect solution for you.
This month, all SnowSport Plows including the HD, 180 and ATV styles will offer free shipping and if you order by noon, it will ship the same day.

Our pickup trucks today require high tech accessories to make run harder and faster without taking the engine apart and starting over. The aftermarket truck accessories market has taken notice and is turning out a wide variety of different performance bolt-on products. Each product has it’s own appeal to each person.
Bolt on performance has become a huge industry in the truck accessory aftermarket field. Some truck owners search accessories which are inexpensive but perform at the same level as the more expensive performance parts. However, those highly polished parts may look good and perform well but they are also more expensive. With the right know how you can have your truck looking great and running even better. Here are some of the more popular performance parts we sell:
Cold air intakes may be the most popular bolt on performance product we carry. Intake kits allow the engine to breath better and therefore increase horsepower output. If your looking for pure power gain and are not concerned with appearance a less expensive plastic bodied intake will be great for you.
Another popular performance pickup truck accessory is an underdrive pulley. These are another direct bolt on but require a little more work as fas as installation goes. Underdrive pullies reduces the work of your truck’s engine while freeing up horsepower and torque. Some engine applications require a pulley puller to remove the factory pulley.
Performance chips, engine computer chips, modules and microtuners can give you the quickest horsepower gain of any aftermarket accessory. Performance chips are simple and quick to install. They require no maintenance and give you a sudden increase in horsepower in only a matter of minutes. It’s from altering your truck’s computer. Depending on your make and model, it isn’t anything to see over 100 hp just by hooking up a microchip to your truck. Diesel trucks tend to benefit the most from chips and tuners.

We get a number of calls about the Access Roll-up Cover. It is by far our best performing soft tonneau. I thought i would take a moment to share my experience as a long time owner and as a business who sells the Access Cover.
