Aftermarket Truck Accessories Pittsburgh: Bed Covers, Running Boards, and Lighting Upgrades

YO PITTSBURGH TRUCK OWNERS!!! Ready to TRANSFORM your ride into the ultimate work machine AND weekend warrior?? We’re talking serious aftermarket accessories that’ll make your truck actually functional – not just pretty!!

Whether you’re hauling gear through the South Hills, commuting from Castle Shannon, or hitting those Pennsylvania back roads, the right accessories can COMPLETELY CHANGE how you use your truck. And guess what? You don’t have to drive all over creation to find quality parts and PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION – we’ve got you covered right here in Pittsburgh! 🚀

TONNEAU COVERS & BED PROTECTION – Because Weather Happens

Let’s be REAL about Pittsburgh weather – one minute it’s sunny, next minute you’re getting DUMPED on!! That’s why a quality tonneau cover isn’t just an accessory… it’s PROTECTION for your investment.

HARD vs SOFT COVERS – What’s the deal??

• Hard tonneau covers = MAXIMUM security + weather protection. Perfect if you’re storing tools, equipment, or anything you CAN’T AFFORD to lose!

• Soft covers = Easy access, lighter weight, better fuel economy. Great for weekend warriors who need quick loading/unloading.

• Retractable covers = Best of both worlds!! Roll ’em back when you need full bed access, close ’em up for protection.

HERE’S THE THING – installation matters BIG TIME!! A poorly installed cover = water leaks, wind noise, and FRUSTRATION. Our team has been installing these systems for YEARS and we know EVERY TRUCK MODEL inside and out.

Popular brands we install:

• UnderCover (those hard tonneau systems are BULLETPROOF)
• BAK Industries
• Extang
• TruXedo
• RetraxONE

Pro tip: Tonneau covers can improve your gas mileage by up to 10%!! That’s money BACK IN YOUR POCKET every time you fill up! 💰

RUNNING BOARDS & STEP SYSTEMS – Get In Your Truck Like a BOSS

Okay, let’s talk about FUNCTIONALITY!! If you’ve got a lifted truck or just want easier access (especially for the family), running boards and step systems are GAME CHANGERS.

TYPES OF STEPS WE INSTALL:

Nerf Bars = Classic round tube design, great for RUGGED LOOK + basic step function

Running Boards = Wide, flat steps with MAXIMUM SURFACE AREA – perfect for work boots, dress shoes, whatever!

Power Steps = These AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOY when you open the door!! Talk about LUXURY MEETS FUNCTION!

Side Steps = Cab-length coverage, sleek appearance, perfect for crew cabs

Rock Sliders = For the OFF-ROAD WARRIORS – protection AND access in one package!

INSTALLATION MATTERS because these things take a BEATING!! Cheap installation = loose bolts, rattling, and eventual failure. Our mounting systems are ROCK SOLID – we’re talking about supporting your full body weight, day after day, year after year.

Materials make a difference:

• Aluminum = Lightweight, no rust, great for daily drivers
• Steel = Maximum strength for HEAVY-DUTY USE
• Composite = Non-slip surface that stays cool in summer!

LIGHTING UPGRADES – See Everything, Look AMAZING

Pittsburgh roads can be SKETCHY after dark, especially those winding South Hills routes! Plus, if you’re doing any kind of work or outdoor activities, PROPER LIGHTING isn’t optional – it’s ESSENTIAL.

LED UPGRADE OPTIONS:

Headlight Conversions = Swap those WEAK HALOGEN BULBS for LED systems that’ll light up the road like it’s DAYTIME!!

LED Light Bars = Front bumper, roof mount, or grille mount – we’re talking SERIOUS ILLUMINATION for work sites, camping, or just because they look AWESOME!

Fog Lights = Cut through Pittsburgh’s morning fog and evening mist like a LASER BEAM

Rock Lights = Undercarriage lighting for off-road adventures (and they look SICK parked at car meets!)

Tail Light Upgrades = LED conversions for better visibility AND that modern look

Work Lights = Bed lighting, side-mount spots, wherever you need BRIGHT, RELIABLE LIGHT

HID vs LED – what’s better??

• HID = Super bright, great throw distance, proven technology
• LED = Instant on, lower power draw, longer life, COOLER COLORS

Most of our customers are going LED ALL THE WAY these days – the technology is just BETTER now!
