Knowing that I would see 2WD and 4WD action, I wanted to protect the side of my truck with a set of DeMello Offroad rock sliders. These sliders are extremely strong and come in both bolt-on and weld-on applications in either round or square tubing. Besides the incredible protection they offer, the sliders feature a great-looking, textured powdercoating and also double as side steps for shorter passengers.
For the bed of the truck, I went with a thick coating of Line-X spray-on bedliner with the company's new UV coating. As most of you already know, Line-X bedliner lasts as long as your truck does, and the new UV coating is said to protect the bedliner from fading due to the sun's harmful rays. So far, my truck's bedliner still looks brand-new.
Wanting to store and stow my camping and safety gear, I added a SnugTop SnugLid SL tonneau cover with remote-control power locking mechanism. The cover locks down and never rattles or suffers any damage even in rugged terrain. When I don't need the cover, it is easily removed and stored in the garage.

As an avid mountain biker, I recently found an exciting new product to help me get my regular mountain-bike fix more conveniently. Simple tie-downs work great for carrying one bike, but they take time to secure, and when your weekend includes a trek into the Big Bear mountains with three of your friends you need something with more ability. The Fat Boy! bike rack by Sierra Coast Cargo Racks securely holds up to four mountain bikes in a truck bed. Mine was installed in less than an hour and quickly loaded with four bikes to check the fit. The front tire of each bike slides into its own channel, and an oversize quick-release clamps the tire down, holding the bike in place. I was able to fit all four bikes with the tailgate closed - that's impressive. The rack can either be bolted to the floor of the truck bed, or you can purchase Sierra Coast's Rack Clamp which allows you to mount or remove your rack in seconds. The racks come in various sizes for different truck beds and have optional mounts for dirt bikes.
