TUFLOCDelivery vans and pickup trucks are easy targets for cargo theft. In many cases, the only thing between a would-be thief and a person's gear is a regular door lock or a padlock. Esmet, Inc. has created the TUFLOC to solve this problem. The TUFLOC eliminates the shackle and hasp, the weak points of standard padlocks. TUFLOC uses two interlocking wings made from nickel-plated cast 304 stainless-steel. It has recessed bolt holes and a rekeyable high-security lock cylinder. Esmet, Inc.; 800/321-0870.www.esmet.com

Simple StartBlack & Decker's Simple Start makes it easier to deal with the unpleasant surprise of a dead battery. Instead of having to get out of your truck and attach jumper cables, you can restart the vehicle from the inside. Plug Simple Start into the cigarette lighter/power port, and the electricity travels through the truck's electrical system to the battery, giving it a boost. A boost indicator LED and audible beep let you know when you're ready to go. Black & Decker; 800/544-6986.www.blackanddecker.com

Optimal Spare KitIf your truck's spare tire is stored under the bed, not only can it get more difficult to remove over time (thanks to rust), but if the spare was relocated, you may increase ground clearance. The Optimal Spare Kit installs on the back of a truck or SUV, and its bracket allows the kit to fold down, keeping the truck bed or cargo area useable. Buyers have a choice of a metal shroud or soft cover. Optimal Spare Kit; 863/815-4711.www.truckconnie.homestead.com
