From racing fanatics to audio enthusiasts, there are a number of accessories and features than enable you to customize your truck. These days country is cool, but redneck is better; and it is the redneck accessories that really add the finishing touch to the perfect truck. Here are seven steps to obtain the perfect redneck customization for your truck.
Step One: Buy a Truck
Before you can customize your truck with the latest redneck accessories, you need to get a truck. When purchasing your truck, consider a truck from the mid-1970’s that is 4WD. This style of truck is perfect for mudding and hunting. As long as the truck runs, you can make it work. You can probably make it work, even if does not run, but that will mean more money on your truck and less on your redneck features.
Step Two: Jack it Up for the Over-sized Tires
One traditional feature of a redneck truck is to make it big. To make it big, you need to jack up the body of the truck. Once jacked, you have room for another accessory: oversized tires. You are not a true redneck if your truck does not have oversized tires. In this case bigger is better. If you are going to customize your tires, you have to lift up your truck or you won’t be a real redneck.
Step Three: No Muffler, No Problem
Redneck trucks don’t need mufflers. A muffler will hide the loudness of your truck and you want people to know when you arrive or roar past them on the road. Instead, take the straight pipes out through the back. Or, you can send them up through the bed. Either option is equally redneck acceptable.
Step Four: Accessory Lights
One more way to customize your truck in true redneck fashion is to add a few accessory lights. There are several types of accessory lights, but the most popular are the KC lights on top of the roll bars. It is two accessories in one: a roll bar and lights.
Step Five: Protective Features
For the front of your redneck truck you need to protect it from anything that might get in its way. One accessory is to add an iron bumper with a brush guard. You can also customize with a front bumper winch. Another feature is a camouflage bug deflector for the front of your truck.
Step Six: Additional Accessories
Above are many of the basic, redneck features and accessories you can add to your truck. There are a few more to add if you want to make your friends have redneck envy. One look all redneck trucks should have is rust stains. It makes your truck authentic.
You can also add fender skirts and a gun rack (though in some states you can’t actually use it). To talk to your redneck friends, add a C.B. with dual antennas. One optional feature is to add a rebel flag. Many redneck trucks have them, but not all of them.
Step Seven: A Final Touch
Your truck is almost customized to the max and you will be able to ride in redneck style. One last feature is to customize your horn. One popular horn, the “Dukes of Hazard” horn, will whistle Dixie. If your horn would make Luke Duke proud, it’s good enough for your redneck friends.
Now that your redneck truck is ready to go and you can proudly wave your redneck flag, go put on your Bass-Pro Shop clothes, your flnnel over-shirt, and your red-wing work boots and enjoy your night. That’s a ten-dash-four, good buddy.
