The Position

The Gear That Gets You Home

A lift and tires get you to the trail. Accessories and recovery gear get you back off it. This is the equipment that separates a truck that looks built from one that actually is — winches, armor, sliders, recovery kits, and lighting, all mounted and wired to a standard you can trust when it is hubs-deep and getting dark.

We treat this gear as functional first. A winch is only as safe as its mount, a skid only protects what it covers, and a light is only as good as its wiring. Everything we install is load-rated, frame-tied where it matters, and wired marine-grade — no zip ties, no scotch locks, no jewelry that fails the first time you need it.

This page is the hub. For the deep details on belly protection and bumpers, we built dedicated pages — head to skid plates and bumpers & armor for the full rundown on each.

What We Install

Accessory & Recovery Categories We Build

The full menu of protection, recovery, and capability gear — each mounted and wired right, with dedicated deep-dive pages for the big two.

Recovery

Winches

Warn winches sized to your rig and mounted to a frame-tied bumper, wired on a fused circuit. The piece you must trust when you are stuck — see our dedicated Warn winch page for sizing and line options, or the full winch recovery gear guide for every option.

Front & Rear

Bumpers & Armor

Winch-ready front bumpers, rear bumpers with tire carriers, tube, and custom fabrication. This is its own deep specialty — the full story is on our bumpers & armor page.

Belly Protection

Skid Plates

Engine, transfer case, fuel tank, and full belly armor in steel or aluminum, matched to where you wheel. We moved the deep dive to its own skid plates page — start there for coverage and materials.

Rocker Protection

Rock Sliders

Frame-mounted bolt-on and weld-on sliders that protect the rockers and double as a step. Full detail on our rock sliders page — this hub just gets you pointed the right way.

Get Unstuck

Recovery Gear & Air

Recovery points, kinetic ropes, shackles, traction boards, and on-board air for airing up and running tools. We mount it where you can reach it and rate it for the loads recovery actually puts through it.

Lighting

Light bars, pods, ditch, and rock lights wired fused and aimed legal. We run Baja Designs and Rigid — the full menu and our wiring standard live on the lighting page.

Where to Start

How to Prioritize Accessory & Recovery Gear

The most common mistake we see is gear bought for looks before protection. The right order is simple: protect the truck, equip it to recover, then make it see and store. Spend on what keeps you moving first, and the bling reads better on a rig that actually works.

We sequence every accessory build around where you actually wheel — places like Hidden Falls, Barnwell, and River Run have taken out plenty of unprotected oil pans. Tell us your terrain and we will map the priority.

1. Protect First

Skid plates and rock sliders come before anything cosmetic. A cracked oil pan or crushed rocker ends a trip and costs more than the armor. Protection is the foundation of a real build.

2. Equip to Recover

A winch on a frame-tied bumper, real recovery points, and a basic recovery kit mean you get yourself — or a buddy — unstuck without a tow truck that cannot reach you anyway.

3. See & Store

Lighting for the dark trail and storage or air for the long day round out the rig. Worth doing — after the protection and recovery gear that actually keeps you moving is in place. Pair storage with overlanding roof racks for the full long-day setup.

FAQ

Accessory & Recovery Gear Questions, Answered

The whole package that turns a lifted truck into a capable, self-reliant rig: winches, front and rear bumpers, skid plates, rock sliders, recovery gear and mounting, lighting, air systems, and storage. We install gear as standalone jobs or as part of a full build, and we wire and mount everything to a real standard rather than zip-tying it on. We carry deep, dedicated pages for skid plates and bumpers, so this hub points you to the right one for each.

Both. We stock and sell gear from the brands we trust — Warn, ARB, Baja Designs, Rigid, and more — and we also install customer-supplied parts to the same standard. If you bring something that is not right for your truck or will not hold up, we will tell you honestly before we mount it, but the decision stays yours.

Absolutely — a huge share of our accessory work is adding gear to trucks we or someone else already lifted. We do account for the weight, especially a heavy steel front bumper and winch, since that affects the front suspension, so if a build adds a lot of nose weight we will flag whether the springs need attention. We want the finished rig to sit level and drive right, not nose-down.

Start with protection and recovery before bling. For a wheeled rig, that means skid plates for the belly and a winch on a frame-tied bumper, then rock sliders for the rockers, then lighting and storage. We help you sequence the build so the money goes to what keeps you moving first. Tell us where you wheel and we will map the priority order.

Yes. When there is no good off-the-shelf part for your vehicle, or you want a specific combination of winch, lights, tire carrier, and storage, we design and weld custom in-house. Custom bumpers and mounts are a core part of what we do — built around real recovery points and proper integration, not just looks.
