These Car Accessories Will Make Your Summer Tailgating Great

Summer tailgating is a time-honored tradition – and it can be made even better with a few easy and affordable modifications to your car. Here are some accessories and car mods that can be added to your vehicle to make tailgating both more convenient and more comfortable.

Rubber Tailgate Mat and Tonneau Cover

You can start your preparations by making sure that your truck itself is tailgate ready. That means a rubber tailgate mat and a tonneau cover, both of which will keep your stored items safe and protect your truck from damage. When choosing a tonneau cover, you may want to invest a bit more in order to get something more convenient. A rolling or hinged hard cover is usually the best way to secure your possessions and access them easily.

Hammock Chairs With a Trailer Hitch Stand

Hammock chairs can be installed on a trailer hitch stand for easy seating. These two hammock style chairs will be suspended from a frame that's connected to your trailer hitch. Just drop them down and you can relax anywhere – whether you're headed to a tailgate party or simply going down to the lake with a friend.

Bed Rails and Bed Extenders

Bed rails and bed extenders are metal rails that can be used to either raise the sides of your truck bed or extend your bed past the gate. When you're tailgating, you're likely bringing a lot of things with you: seating, coolers, BBQ grills, and more. These extenders mean that you can store a lot more in a single truck.

Pick-Up Speakers and Audio Systems

Pick-up speakers pump audio directly into the sides of a truck's bed, turning the truck itself into a stereo system. If you want to get the party started at your next tailgate, this is a great option -- and some more recent vehicles even come with this as a pre-installed option.

Cargo Gates and Nets

Cargo gates and nets are positioned inside of the truck bed or over the truck bed to secure smaller items. Otherwise, your tailgating items could simply become projectiles – when you're carting many small items (such as food and snacks) you have to be extra careful about how they're secured.

The best thing about these accessories is that they're fast and easy to install. Contact Mobile Install today to learn more about everything from installing tonneau covers to audio systems.
