<\/a><\/p>\nTo celebrate its partnership, RacingJunk has teamed up with aftermarket e-commerce retailer Turn5<\/a> to give away a $500 gift card<\/a>, redeemable at any of Turn5’s three enthusiast properties: American Trucks<\/strong><\/a>, American Muscle<\/strong><\/a> and Extreme Terrain<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Each property specializes in aftermarket equipment designed to supplement and enhance the specific type of vehicle. In the case of American Trucks, that means cool stuff for pickups. Stuff like suspension and performance mods, truck covers, roll bars, tool cases, lights, and pretty much everything that makes truck-owning fun.<\/p>\n RacingJunk sat down with Adam Maqboul, the host of American Trucks’ many how-to and adventure videos, to talk product, modding and making the most out of your pickup truck.<\/p>\n RacingJunk:<\/strong>\u00a0 So, you buy an F-150. What’s the first mod you make to it?<\/p>\n Adam Maqboul\/American Trucks:<\/strong> Definitely the first mod is a tonneau cover. It\u2019s the first thing I did to my Ranger, and it\u2019ll be the first thing I do to my imaginary F-150! Too many time\u2019s I\u2019ve been caught needing a covered truck bed for my cargo. It\u2019s a must for new truck owners, in my opinion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RacingJunk:<\/strong> American Trucks offers videos to help truck owners install product and improve their vehicles. Where would a new owner start?<\/p>\n Adam Maqboul\/American Trucks: <\/strong>Hey, we have a video series for that! Our \u201cFirst 5 Mods\u201d videos would be great for a new truck owner looking to dip their toes into the aftermarket world. Typically the first few mods include a tonneau cover, side steps, leveling kit, maybe wheels and tire and even things like a cold air intake. I would also start off by figuring out what you plan on using your truck for. Work truck owners may want to go a slightly different route for their first few mods than a typical daily driver\/commuter (i.e. storage solutions for the work truck guys vs. appearance & convenience mods for the commuter).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
