Race Sport Lighting: RoadRunner Series Light Bars and Auxiliary Spotlights

New from Race Sport Lighting, the RoadRunner Series of light bars and auxiliary spotlights combines slimmer, more stylish Blacked Out® frames with a compliant design you can blaze when not conquering off-road trails.

While most high-powered LED light bars are approved only for off-road use because of their wide optical beam patterns, lights in the RoadRunner Series keep the extra light focused straight and to the sidewalk, down and low. This pattern makes these lights great for work vehicles that have to operate in remote areas away from streetlights, plus for general drivers looking for more reaction time in low-light driving conditions.

Race Sport Lighting unveiled a new manufacturing style with the launch of the RoadRunner Series as well, using a screwless frame for a weatherproof seal and an innovative heat-transfer lens that prevents ice buildup in cold environments and the undesirable refraction that can go along with it, heating up the lens face up to 30 degrees warmer than competing brands.

RoadRunner Series lights are currently available in 7”–50” light bars, auxiliary cubes, spotlights, and flush-mount variants.

Features

  • Slim, heavy-duty, Blacked Out® housing
  • Screwless frames create a waterproof seal.
  • Compliant design for on- and off-road applications
  • Heat-transfer lens helps prevent ice buildup and unwanted refraction.
  • Available in 7”–50” light bars, auxiliary cubes, spotlights, and flush-mount variants

Turning wasted space into lockable storage, the Under-Seat Storage Drawer from Dee Zee gives you stowage options other than your valuable truck bed without crowding passengers, pets, and other interior gear.

The 16-gauge steel casing mounts to existing holes under the seat, so no drilling is required for installation, and the rust-inhibiting textured-black powdercoat matches most interiors. Three plastic dividers are included for organization, while a rubber mat prevents shifting, damage, and vibration.

Scheduled availability in Q2.

Features

  • For popular full-size Ford and GM truck applications
  • Lockable storage fits in the otherwise wasted space under your rear seat.

CURT (18112): Trailer Hitch Cargo Carrier with Double-Folding Ramp

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

With its innovative double-folding ramp, this trailer hitch cargo carrier from CURT helps you transport bigger items but stands half as tall when folded up for travel, reducing obstruction and drastically limiting wind drag. Built from black carbide powder-coated aluminum, the 18112 cargo carrier is perfect for hauling bulky items like lawn mowers, snow blowers, mobility scooters, or just stashing some extra camping gear.

CURT designed the versatile ramp to be the heart of the design: it folds out for easy loading; it folds in half for transport; and it can fold completely into the carrier itself to remain out of the way when not in use. The shank also folds up to facilitate vehicle parking and storage.

The hitch carrier is rated at 500 lb, leveraging fully welded tubes for dependable strength. It includes an anti-rattle hitch pin that won’t drive you crazy on the road and built-in reflectors to let other drivers know you’re there. The standard, folding 2” shank fits most class 3, 4, and 5 hitches, while the 50” x 30.5” x 4” basket has built-in eye bolts to fasten ratchet straps, a cargo net, or bungee cords.

Features

  • Fully welded aluminum
  • Mounts to any 2” x 2” receiver tube
  • Rated to carry up to 500 lb
  • Carrier measures 50” x 30.5” x 4”
  • Built-in ramp for easy loading of lawn mowers, scooters, and similar equipment
  • Three-position, double-folding ramp sits half as high as other models in transport.
  • Threaded anti-rattle shank
  • Integrated eye bolts for attachment and security
  • Built-in reflectors
  • Warranty: limited lifetime
