Compustar CS600 Remote Starter Blowout!

Have you ever thought about getting a remote car starter? If you're here with us in Calgary, or really anywhere around the country, that's not surprising. Leaving the warm comfort of your house in the morning just to start your car can be a real downer way to begin a work day. Plus, then you're faced with a dilemma.  Do you leave your car running outside, watching it from the window to make sure no one tries to make off with it, or do you want until your ready to go, and sit out in the cold while the vehicle warms up?

Either way, it's important in any weather to let your car run for at least thirty seconds after ignition. That gives your oil enough time to start circulating properly through the engine so that everything runs as smoothly as possible without causing any damage. When it's cold, it's especially important to give the oil at least a few minutes to warm up and start circulating effectively.

The Compustar CS600 is one of the best entry-level remote starters on the market. With 1000 feet of range in optimal conditions, you can start your car from anywhere in your home without an issue. The kit comes with 2 programmable, one-way fobs that are compatible with any automatic transmission vehicle. The four button setup gives your keyless entry, remote trunk access, as well as hot and cold start. It even comes diesel-ready for maximum versatility.

Don't want the hassle of carrying around the fob? Or maybe you just need that extra bit of reassurance in the instance of lost keys. Whatever the reason, the CS600 is also DroneMobile ready right out of the box, so that you can start, secure, or track your car from virtually anywhere, at any time.

Now priced at $280.00, you can get the Compustar CS600 Remote Car Starter with all of the kit pieces, and we will even install it for you! Offer available only while supplies last. Please note that some vehicles may require extra components, so make sure to get in touch with our sales associates to make sure you've got everything you need.

Rigid Industries: A New Brand with Auto Truck Depot

At Auto Truck Depot, it's our goal to provide you with access to a wide variety of high quality products from all over, shipped right to you. To that end, over the last year we have been hunting for great, new brands and products, and one of those brand is Rigid Industries.

Who Are Rigid Industries?

Rigid Industries is a manufacture of high quality, durable LED automotive lighting options. Durable and designed for hard wear, the cast aluminum casing with a black finish is lightweight and rustproof. The lights themselves are guarded by a scratch resistant poly-carbonate lens that is designed to withstand the beating of the open road and won't yellow. Stainless steel hardware completes the completely rust-proof, decay resistant construction. Inside, their aluminum PCB Smart Boards, copper thermal conductive pads, and gold plated electrical contacts are built to last a long time without loss of quality. Waterproof connector mates that comes with the wiring harness seals off the electrical system from damage. But besides the detail-driven, durable construction, what really makes Rigid stand apart is their situation-specific design.

The Components

There are three components to every Rigid light, the casing style, the quality, or type of light it produces, and the lens. When combined, you can create a light that will function in the best possible way for your specific uses.

Light Casing

How much light are you looking for? Do you need one or two direct lights, or is it more appropriate to mount a more flooded light bar? Your choice may also be influenced by the type of vehicle your lights will be mounted on.

LED Lights

The greatest benefit to LED lighting is that they produce a much brighter light while using less power. Another great benefit is their longevity. Unlike standard tungsten or halogen bulbs, LED bulbs will almost never burn out. That means no extra costs buying light bulbs or time lost changing them. The smallest light size has a mere 1.1 Amp draw, using 15.8 Watts, and puts out 1568 raw Lumens of light. The largest has a 19.93 Amp draw, takes 275 Watts, and outputs 23000 raw Lumens.

The Optic/Lens

The Lens of the light is what determines the light quality. All of our lights come with the exclusive hybrid spot optic, a light quality settling between a full spot and a flood.

Combined together, these components create killer LED lighting systems for your truck or SUV. Whether you're an off-roader, a regular camper, or you need a bit of extra light, Rigid is the way to go.

Product Comparison: RetraxONE VS. RetraxPRO

It can often be difficult to peg down the differences between some of the models of tonneau covers, especially when they're made by the same company and are built in the same style. Even so, you'll still need to make a choice, so why not make an informed one? In this article, I will be discussing the primary differences between the RetraxONE and RetraxPRO, which applies to both the standard and MX models.

Basic Functionality

At a base level, they seem quite similar. Both are, obviously, retractable tonneau covers, and many of their similarities come from a base design engineered to create smooth action and reliable protection. Their sealed ball bearing rollers are mounted to each section to create smooth action with no catches. By sealing them, the bearings can't get clogged up with dirt, dust, or grime, so you can continue accessing your truck bed with easy, single-handed motion for the lifespan of the cover. 

Both covers feature the same, great storage canister design. Compact and streamlined, the canister contains a spiral track inside that prevents the cover from grinding against itself when being retracted. This prevents premature wear, as well as keeping dirt from getting dragged around and clogging up the system. It also means the cover won't jam when you're opening or closing it, keeping operation quick and easy.

Both covers are coated with a strong UV protective seal to guard against fading. They're designed to last a long time, maintaining their look and functionality, and they back their designs with a limited lifetime warranty on both covers. Both covers feature an easy, clamp-on installation that is strong and requires no modification to your truck. There are no snaps or velcro on either cover, meaning fewer components to break or fall apart, and no fumbling around in the cold. Finally, both covers lock at multiple points along their tracks, making them great for fifth wheel hauling or cargo loads with a great variety in size.

So, I know what you're thinking right now. What is the difference, because it doesn't really seem like there is any? Well the major difference in the construction materials. The RetraxONE is built primarily from a poly-carbonate material called Lexan. The material is designed to function in temperatures that vary between -40 degrees Celsius and 130 degrees Celsius, a hugely wide range that makes it a viable cover in all climates. 

The RetraxPRO, on the other hand, is constructed from a rugged, lightweight aluminum alloy which gives it the capacity to hold over 500 pounds of distributed weight on top. On top of the that, aluminum is a metal that doesn't react with oxygen, meaning it won't rust. Both materials are durable and designed to last, so really the choice comes down to your needs. If your truck sees a more rugged work life, you may want to make the upgrade to the RetraxPRO.

There are also a couple of extra features included with the Pro. The most important of these is the built in key lock. The primary purpose of a tonneau cover is to protect your cargo. Mostly, that is protection from the elements. Both the Pro and the One seal off your truck bed from the elements, guarding your cargo from snow, rain, and mud. Both covers will also prevent thieves from cutting their way into your truck bed, as they could with a soft cover or even a hard Tri-Fold. Only the Pro provides you with a key lock to completely seal off your truck bed from unwanted eyes and hands.

The Aesthetic

A final note on differences between the two covers is their style. While a streamlined look is inherent in retractable tonneau covers, it is important to note that the RetraxPRO is definitely a more low-profile look. For some, this is important, and so it's definitely an element to consider.

Whichever your choice, both of these covers are going to serve you well. Retractable tonneau covers seal your truck bed better than any other, both against the elements and against thieves. This is especially important in a season of snowfall or rainfall. Don't limit your time available to carry cargo to just clear days.Whether it's for work or play, we live in a country that spends a lot of time outdoors. Get out there without a monkey on your back.

Product Overview: DECKED Truck Bed Organizer

Organization is a skill that often evades people. Many of us struggle to find the time in our schedules to continually sort and clean out our vehicles. This is especially true of those who use your vehicle for work. If you're a contractor, self-employed handy-person, or simply find yourself carrying around a lot of tools and other items, the DECKED Truck Bed Organizer could be the best solution to your organizational needs!

The Details

The DECKED Truck Bed Organizer is a revolutionary product made from 100% recycled materials. Designed specifically for each truck, these storage drawers mount to the bottom of your bed, providing you with 2, 48 inch drawers that can be filled with tools and other items. Perfect for keeping your truck cab clean of clutter, they also feature a weatherproof design to protect your equipment from rain, heavy snow, and mud. It is important to note, however, that very fine powder snow and dust can still slip in, so make sure more fragile items are still kept inside the cab.

Constructed from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) co-molded with a recycled galvanized steel frame, the DECKED system has an unearthly strength, able to support up to 2000 pounds of evenly distributed weight. That means that while you lose a bit of truck bed depth, you don't lose its functionality. Weighing in at only 200 - 230 pounds, the weight capacity of your truck will not be greatly affected by the addition. With extreme UV protection to ensure longevity, DECKED backs their product with a 3 year warranty. 

Accessories

One of the great benefits of the DECKED Organizer is its versatility. There are a wide range of add-ons built specifically for the bed organizer to expand is usability and maximize your truck bed's functionality.

D-Box

The DECKED D-Box is a tool box designed to fit the drawers (2 in a short box and 3 in a standard box), by using a unique, interlocking, nested design. Each one comes with 2 internal dividers and can hold up to 50 pounds of cargo. They have been test-dropped from tailgate height at maximum weight capacity to ensure long lasting durability, and their recessed locking levers and EPDM gasketing ensure a tight seal that won't accidentally come undone. They even have a ruler and common bit and bolt guide in the lid. 

Planning to go camping, or hosting a tailgater? Fill them with ice to keep your food or beverages cold, and easily drain and dry them afterwards. If you have a lot of small objects or tools to fit in your drawers, the D-Box is a great way to maintain and amplify your organizational structure.

Drawer Dividers

If a tool box is too much, why not try a simple divider set? They come in packs of 4, and split up your drawers to help keep tools and other damaging cargo separate from anything fragile. Or simply make searching for a specific item quick and easy.

Drawer Locks

Find yourself carrying a lot of precious or valuable cargo? Organization is great, but security is a must have when it comes to cargo transportation. These drawer locks can be installed on your drawers quickly and easily, and they feature silver cores and thickened cams for extra durability.

Drain Plugs

Do you host a lot of tailgaters, or find yourself often out for a day trip? These drain plugs can be installed on your drawers so that you can fill them with ice to keep beverages or food cold, allowing you to drain the water from the drawer afterwards, and offering more space than just in the D-Boxes.

Tie Down Tracks

The DECKED Core Trax allow you to maintain your truck bed versatility by providing durable anchor points for tie down straps so you can continue to haul large cargo. They are available in a 58" and 48" length, and they are constructed entirely from 6061 T6 aluminum allow and stainless steel to prevent rust and weather wear while minimizing weight and maximizing durability.

Thule and Yakima Tracks

These T-Tracks are designed to mount on top of your DECKED organizer to provide a mounting place for nearly all Thule and Yakima racks. Don't sacrifice your trucks versatility for a bit of storage! You can continue hauling your bikes, skis, snowboards, and more while still keeping all the little stuff safe and organized.

With such a wide range of available options, perfect fit installation, long lasting durability, and great versatility, how can you go wrong? The DECKED system helps you to keep your truck completely organized with as little effort as possible. Your cab will never again be cluttered with too many tools, and you can still haul all kinds of oversized cargo on top!

Rundown: Husky Weatherbeaters Floor Liners

With winter holding on with sunken claws, have to make sure your truck is protected from the elements. Generally, people are pretty good about keeping their vehicle's exterior clean and protected, but the interiors are often forgotten.

How many times have you climbed into your car with snow-drenched boots? How frequently do you try to bang off the snow? Vehicle interiors get dirty, it's the nature of the beast, but the more you can do to protect the lining the better off you'll be, both in longevity and resale value. Your truck's floors are covered in a carpeted layer, and while that carpeting is designed to be durable and weather resistant, it's not invincible. Buildup of snow and mud can get inside the fibres, causing wear, rot, mildew, and it quite simply makes a mess. That's where Floor Liners come in.

Husky Weather Beater Floor Liners are engineered to fit your vehicle perfectly with FormFit design. The liner's edges are raised along the edges, helping to prevent spills, and Husky's Stay-Put Cleats grip the carpet underneath the liner to stop it from sliding around under your feet. Built from heavy duty materials, Husky Liners guarantees their Weatherbeaters for life! Plus, you'll never struggle to clean out your vehicles floors again. Simply pull out the liner, spray it down, and you're good to go.

Everything You Need to Know About Centramatic Wheel Balancers

The Company

Centramatic, established in 1985, is an automotive accessory manufacturer based out of Texas that specializes in a unique, on-board tire balancer. Beginning with just the heavy-duty trucking industry, Centramatic has since expanded their wheel balancers to R.Vs, buses, trailers, light duty trucks, and motorcycle.

What's So Special About Them?

The Centramatic wheel balancers mount directly onto your vehicle's wheel system, and can be used to balance single or dually tires. This means they're constantly balancing your entire wheel system; the drum or disc, the rim, and the tire. They can even account for snow and mud build-up. 

A tire system with a Centramatic balancer runs at an eight to ten percent lower operating temperature, which is part of why they increase your tire life by twenty five percent or more. Plus, a properly balanced tire means an incredibly smooth ride and improved driver experience. Proven over the last 32 years, some Centramatic balancers last for as long as 3 million kilometers!

How Do They Work?

The balancers are designed to mount right on your vehicle's hub, tucked in with the tire. The outer tube of the tire is filled with small, Durametal beads in a synthetic fluid. 10 times harder than shot, these Durametal beads are free flowing, and rely on centrifugal force to balance. Once you pass 32 - 35 kilometers per hour, the beads are forced to move to the opposite side of the wheel from the heavy deflection caused by your imbalance. By spreading out the weight, the wobble in your tire is removed.

Environmental Benefits

Many of the great, cost-saving benefits of the wheel balancers are also environmentally friendly. BY increasing tire life, you are decreasing the amount of rubber waste that goes into landfills. This is especially important for trucking companies or people who are on the road a lot. Tires are expensive and rubber takes a very long time to break down.

Using a Centramatic wheel balancer also means no more lead weights. The weights used to balance your tires can often fall off, depositing chunks of lead in places that could be damaging to wildlife and plant life.

Improved tire balance also means increased fuel economy. For work vehicles or trucks that guzzle a lot of gas, cutting costs on fuel is very important, and comes with the added benefit of a decreased carbon footprint. 

Applications

Currently, Centramatic's wheel balancers are being made primarily for working vehicles. This includes, semi trucks, trailers, buses, motor homes, and most light duty trucks. They are also now available for motorcycles. If your vehicle is one that spends a lot of time on the road, you want to keep it in the best shape possible. Properly balanced tires prevent damage to your steering column and suspension system, and have an increase lifespan and fuel economy. Now available at Auto Truck Depot, Centramatic Tire Balancers are a long-lasting, effective tool for your vehicles.
