Exterior Upgrades

A front bumper upgrade often adds a winch mount, light mounts, better approach angles and recovery points. A rear bumper upgrade adds protection and recovery points, and many include a hitch opening or a place for lights or a tire carrier, depending on the model.

A winch needs a solid mounting plate, so a winch-ready or winch-compatible bumper is the usual choice. Check the winch size against the bumper mount, and choose a winch rated well above your vehicle weight. A common rule of thumb is about one and a half times your gross vehicle weight.

Light bars throw a wide, long beam and mount on bumpers, roofs or behind the grille. Pods are compact and work well as fog or auxiliary lights, alone or in pairs. Ditch lights mount at the A-pillar or hood hinge to light the sides of the road and trail. Check the beam pattern, such as spot, driving or combo, and the mounting location before you buy. Many off-road lights are rated for off-road use only, so check your local rules before using them on the street.

Running boards are a flat, full-length step under the doors. Side steps and nerf bars are usually tubular and may be shorter or have separate step pads. Both make getting in and out easier, and fit depends on your cab style and model year.

Soft roll-up and folding covers are lighter and usually simpler to install. Hard folding and retractable covers offer more weather protection and security and generally cost more. Choose by how you use the bed, and check the bed length and model year before you buy.

Every listing shows the model-year range and fitment details such as cab style or bed length. You can also start with Shop by vehicle to see parts that match your year, make and model.
