7. Break It In Right
Engine builders using flat-tappet cams have grown increasingly concerned that motor oils do not provide adequate wear protection for new engines. Royal Purple Break-In Oil is formulated to allow optimal ring seal and protect rotating assembly components during the break-in process. Royal Purple combines highly refined mineral oil, preferred for engine break-in, with advanced additives containing high levels of zinc and phosphorus to optimize protection in flat-tappet and roller engines.

11. Store Your Stuff
If you're tired of crap sliding around in the bed of your truck but don't want one of those huge storage boxes, we have a product for you. The Swing Case from UnderCover stores in that empty space behind the wheelwell and is hinged so that with the pull of a lever the case swings out over the tailgate. The case also sits 3 inches above the bed floor, allowing you to fit things like plywood. The Swing Case also fits underneath a tonneau cover. And if you ever need to take the case with you to the job site or a great fishing spot, it lifts off the hinges and is completely portable.
