Designed to perfectly fit the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, these brackets were machined to mount on the A-Pillar and hold single-stud mounted lights. The 4.5″ LED Light Cannon (XIL-OEA9706TJCPZ1) kit comes with two lights, a wiring harness, and mounting brackets for a plug-and-play experience. As with most Vision X vehicle-specific kits, the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ A-Pillar kit does not require any drilling to be mounted.

The new A-Pillar brackets will allow TJ owners to install lights in a unique spot on their vehicle and achieve light distances of up to 1,000 feet. They are constructed from high-quality steel, and surpassed rugged product testing at the infamous King of the Hammers event earlier this year.

The Elite by UnderCover is the most refined UnderCover tonneau cover to date. It is meticulously designed and engineered, making it the new standard in the aftermarket industry. The Elite has spectacular new features that set it apart, starting with a completely new design that includes a handle with codeable BOLT lock. The Elite’s new handle is easy to use and ergonomically correct, and its OE design matches the look of new trucks. ABS composite material and X-Effect underside give it incredible strength and durability. An included lanyard allows you to easily access cargo that is just out of reach, and when not in use, it stores neatly out of the way. A new removable LED light is 3 times brighter than the original! Just slide the release to remove the light, fold out the hook to hang it, use the magnet to stick it, or simply set it down on its built-in feet. All UnderCover products are made right here in the USA.

OMIX-ADA (13516.01): Exo-Top 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler JK, 2-Door

The OMIX-ADA 13516.01 Exo-Top for the 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler JK (2 Door) is an innovative new design that, for the first time ever, combines the joy of top-down driving with the utility of a roof rack, taking convenience, function, and style to new levels. It allows Jeep owners the ability to conveniently lower, raise, or remove the soft top without having to unload gear from the roof-rack cargo. By combining the soft top and roof rack, owners can experience a Jeep to its full potential for camping, offroading, or any lifestyle hobby they may have.

This new top also features an innovative Sun Slider retractable function that allows the front of the top to slide back with the release of just two latches, creating an open-top experience for owners without the hassle of getting out of the driver seat. Integrated into the 300-lb.-capacity roof rack is an advanced, externally suspended soft-top design that fastens using a series of hook-and-loop straps along the perimeter bars of the roof rack. The pulling force applied by these straps help to tighten and shape the soft top.

RetraxPRO MX—Matte Black Finish

The RetraxPRO MX has the same great quality as the RetraxPRO but in a black matte finish. RetraxPRO MX bed covers are made with heavy-duty aluminum slats covered in a matte powdercoat, giving them the strength to support distributed loads of more than 500 pounds! The RetraxPRO MX uses sealed ball-bearing rollers that are mounted onto each section, allowing the cover to retract and extend easily with one hand—without the need for pull straps, Velcro, snaps, or springs. Ball bearings provide smooth operation, preventing the cover from binding when opening or closing. The patented low-profile design is always flush, enhancing the integrity of your truck’s style rather than overwhelming it. Your cover will seal tight and look great. Unlike soft covers that bulk up when rolled, the flush front cover streamlines the overall appearance and provides a firm, dependable seal that keeps out the elements and helps keep the bed dry. The RetraxPRO MX cover can be latched or key locked in any position. This allows for unlimited flexibility in hauling almost any object, and the secure Dual Latch Locking System provides protection unlike any other cover.

By John M. Arnaud

Last Thursday, Total Truck Centers and The AAM Group enjoyed a special visit with representatives from two of our program vendors: CURT Manufacturing, a giant in the towing industry, and ARIES Automotive, whose custom pickup and Jeep accessories help trailblazers everywhere break their own ground.

We spent the day brainstorming ways that Total Truck Centers’ marketing tools and services could introduce CURT and ARIES products—hitches, grille guards, bumpers, seat covers, and towing accessories—to more of our jobbers and their customers.

Thanks to Jeff Perez, Joe Thompson, and Patrick Cripe for flying out to see us. We loved having you and look forward to an exciting year ahead!

To add towing power or aggressive styling to your truck, head on over to your local Total Truck Centers retailer, or find an affiliated store using our dealer locator.
