Rival by A.R.E. LED Lighting goes beyond factory installed options for A.R.E.’s truck caps and tonneau covers to offer exterior lighting that can be used virtually anywhere on the vehicle.
The LED lighting is available in a wide range of styles: LED light bars in 10 inch, 30 inch, 40 inch and 50 inch; cubes and flush mounts for spot or flood lighting; front facing or down facing auxiliary lighting; strobe and beacon safety lighting; and round and square work lights.
Rival by A.R.E. Light Bars delivers bright, crisp white light for heavy duty work and off-road play. The 30 inch and 40 inch light bar can be factory installed on A.R.E.’s MX Series truck cap to deliver more light to professionals and weekend warriors. A.R.E.’s flush-mounted cube lighting is designed to be non-intrusive while delivering powerful illumination, making them ideal for truck bumpers and utility beds.
Rival by A.R.E. lighting is currently available through your local A.R.E. dealer and will be available later this year through select online retailers.
In addition to lighting, A.R.E. offers its Ascend Roof Basket to increase load capacity while maintaining a low profile and rugged look for today’s trucks. Available in two sizes – 55- x 42-inches and 55- x 52-inches – the roof basket is aluminum with black textured powder coat. Consumers can easily add lights with the 360-degree attachment points.
For added lockable storage, the new ShotLock system provides a safe and secure space for valuable items in your home, vehicle or under an A.R.E. cap or cover. The ShotLock QuickDrawer 200M measures 11- x 8- x 3.5-inches and features a spring-assisted drawer opening, offering universal lockable storage for transporting cash or expensive items from store and restaurants to local banks. Also available is the compact ShotLock Handgun 200M, designed to secure handguns with its military grade 14-gauge steel construction, dual internal locking points, a mechanical lock and top-opening hinge design.
