Are you an avid off-road fan? If you are then, you, along with all the others like you can understand how beneficial it is for an off-road vehicle to have auto accessories like fender flares.

Still, if you are not that enthusiastic about off-road driving and have not even ventured into the edges of the pavement roads but yearning for your truck to have that certain edgy and rugged appearance, then you should definitely take an interest in picking out fender flare kits.

Fender flares are impressive exterior auto accessories for your vehicle. They mount to your vehicle's exterior wheel wells, though the actual mount is inside it. The overall result is an extension and expansion to the size of the fenders.

Basically, fender flares are useful for protecting the side area of your truck from the rocks, sticks, mud and other forms of debris that could damage its paint job in a matter of seconds or even cause dents that would destroy the clean bodylines of your truck. Fender flare kits also beefs up your truck pretty well, making it more rugged in appearance - a clear expression of masculinity or muscularity.

Are you already set to buy fender flare kits for your vehicle? Hold on! The market offers several options, which you must understand first before you start investing on a set.

1. Make sure that you find the right set - it is important that you choose the right set, instead of the most expensive or the trendiest. Choosing a set of fender flare kits would depend on your vehicle. If you are buying for your Jeep, then you need a different type from those who are buying for their trucks. Make a point to get one that would fit your vehicle's make and model.

2. Give ample consideration to the construction material of the fender flares you are buying - while most kits are made of plastic, they still vary. There is polyurethane and ABS. Whatever plastic material they are made of, though make sure that you get a set that is UV resistant or UV stable since UV is the worst enemy of plastic material.

3. Size matters - yes indeed, even in picking out. It is a consideration of major importance. If your only goal is to improve your vehicle's appearance cosmetically, they whatever size you feel like may be great. However, if your foremost purpose is actually for protection then pick out a size that would make the flares extend far past lip of your actual fender.

4. Color considerations - most types of fender flare kits are black. Nevertheless, most companies manufacturing them already provide paintable ones. You can also order available sets with OEM colors. Unless you intend to have black, make sure that when you buy, choose a set that specifically states it can be painted.

Finding the most appropriate set for your specific vehicle can be easy enough with the proper knowledge of the options available in the market for you. There are those that are purely for cosmetic improvements and those that are reliable in providing protection especially on off-road areas. Before deciding on making a purchase, always do a mental review and make sure that your choice set of this auto accessory perfectly matches your list of wants and needs.

Volvo Trucks, Mentor Graphics Complete Autosar Project

Mentor Graphics Corporation has recently announced successful results of an AUTOSAR demonstrator project recently completed in collaboration with Volvo® Trucks. AUTOSAR is the standards organization working to create an open standard for automotive engineering architecture. Mentor is a premium member of AUTOSAR.

The project, the goal of which was to increase the knowledge about AUTOSAR within the Volvo group as well as evaluate commercial viability of the AUTOSAR concept itself, entailed completely redeveloping an existing climate control system using AUTOSAR technology.

AUTOSAR recently released its first set of specifications (release 2.1, January 2007) for use as basis for product development. Automotive OEMs and suppliers are looking at the possibility of basing their products and systems on AUTOSAR technology but the AUTOSAR partnership has stressed from the beginning that commercial vehicles should not be explicitly considered when developing the AUTOSAR concept. AB Volvo – also maker of top of the line Volvo parts, being a commercial vehicle manufacturer (trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine engines) as well as an AUTOSAR Premium Member, decided to evaluate the AUTOSAR concept from a commercial vehicle manufacturer’s perspective to verify whether the AUTOSAR standard can handle the special needs of this domain, without causing problems.

Mentor Graphics was the main contractor for the project responsible for developing and integrating the entire basic software. A key factor in Mentor Graphics tool development for this project was the adaptation of VNA (Volcano Network Architect) into the design flow, enabling predictable network communication over CAN (Controller Area Network) even in the context of AUTOSAR.

Five months after the start of the project the prototype was successfully integrated and tested in a real truck. Results from the demonstrator project indicate: (i) the major AUTOSAR concepts are working; (ii) it is possible to handle special needs for commercial vehicles; and (iii) AUTOSAR components and tools are mature enough to start concept studies targeting product development.

“Mentor's expertise in AUTOSAR and its commitment to the customer showed in the timely delivery of products as well as technical support for the integration effort that led to a successful closure of the project within a very short time,” said Serge Leef, general manager, Mentor Graphics System Level Engineering Division. “We believe our investment and commitment in this area will ultimately lead to tremendous benefits for our customers. These recent results are an important milestone in the road to commercial deployment of AUTOSAR standards.”

Ist it possible to change out the rear drum brakes on 2007 New Body Silverado and switch to OEM disc?

I have found aftermarket kits but I would rather have oem disc brakes. My dealer said it would require computer changes and such costing 10k! However I think he has no idea what he is speaking of when I see aftermarket kits out there. Can't I just have the parts ordered? Does this impact the abs? Proportioning valve?

i know the kits your talking about ,and yes it can alter the braking system sometimes,but the kits for the newer vehicles they give you everything needed to do this with,it doesn't alter the proportioning valve none but it can affect the abs system on it,some kits come with extra sensors for this,if you buy one buy a good kit,good luck with it.
