New Truck Products to Help Consumers Get the Most Out of Their Favorite Workhorse
The truck and SUV segments continue to present one of the strongest growth markets for accessories and modifications. More than a quarter of winners and runners-up from the New Products Showcase judging at the 2018 SEMA Show were from the Truck, SUV & Off-road category, with the off-road/4x4 sub-category again seeing the second-most entries of all. In particular, the Jeep JL has sparked wide innovation with products manufactured specifically for the new model.
The following is a compilation of the products entered into the New Products Showcase at the 2018 SEMA Show for Truck, SUV & Off-road vehicles.
Ablaze Grilles The A7 machined grille for the ’18 Jeep Wrangler JL was designed by Ablaze, keeping the signature Jeep slots with an aggressive Ablaze touch. The aluminum frame features a 12-in. mill-cut chamfer along the inner edge of the grille openings. Polished stainless bolts are used to hold the grille together, along with a sturdy clean installation. 951-549-1555 |  |
