Getting to Know Go Rhino! Truck Parts

Truck lovers have always loved locking on all the little (and big) extras on and around their rides. Grilles, mirror covers, tonneau covers…these are common aftermarket customs applied to rigs all over the globe. But what about the important peripheral stuff like step bars, hitch steps, and bumper guards? You see these mods often, too, but there are only so many brands to trust. One of them, of course, is Go Rhino!

Go Rhino spends their time creating line after line of sidesteps, racks, and an assortment of other accessories meant for heavy-duty assignments. Many of their products are vehicle-specific but they also offer a fine collection of universal truck parts, as well. Most folks who hop on board the Go Rhino! train are looking for hardcore steel construction along with efficient utility to handle everyday tasks. A little style never hurt anybody, either, which is why you can find most of their catalog available in nice finishes such as black powder coat, polished steel, and chrome.

Go Rhino Step Bars

Step bars are always a hot item in the trucking community, mostly because they are an asset many can relate to. Just about anyone who owns a truck likes having an easier time stepping into their rig, which is exactly what a nerf bar is designed for. Go Rhino gives motorists a big fat selection of sturdy steel sidesteps to choose from. Take the Dominator series, for instance. This is a collection of Go Rhino step bars that feature an angled drop-step that protrudes down from the bar itself. Both the bar and the step pad have a nice, non-slip surface so that your footing never loses grip entering or exiting the vehicle.

OE Xtreme Sidesteps

Looking for a thick solution to your stepguard issues with a touch of sleekness thrown in? The OE Xtreme line of sidesteps brings that to the table in spades. Crafted from steel tubing and available in several diameters (4”, 5”, and 6”), OE Xtreme Plus sidesteps deliver a robust answer for those who need some added oomph when climbing up to the cab.

While most of their nerf bars fit strictly according to wheelbase, you can also find some that run from wheel to wheel regardless of model. This is an important feature for those who regularly have the need to adjust cargo in the truck bed or on back of the roof. That extra bit of length towards the rear makes a big difference for drivers constantly on the go.

Go Rhino Grille Guards

This is an interesting segment of Go Rhino products simply because of the allotment of options at your disposal. You can find straight-up truck bumper guards that focus most of the action towards the bottom of the front-end or go for a total setup that includes brush guards. It depends on what you need, what your driving habits are like, and so forth.

We are talking about brute tough stainless steel heading the charge for your monster whenever you’re behind the wheel. The brush guards rise up on each side while the face of the grille peeks behind uncompromising steel security. Anything from rocks to tree fragments don’t stand a chance against these grille protectors. Errant shopping carts and unaware motorists who back into the grille in a parking lot don’t stand a chance, either.

Go Rhino HD Winch Guard
Just for the sake of initiating a little more utility to spice things up, Go Rhino said “what the heck?” and built a line of their grille guards with a winch included. So, you don’t just gain the ability to travel with more confidence but if you need to tow or pull something out of the mud, you’ve got all the strength you need. The winch bumper guards come in two distinct versions: standard and HD. The “HD” is for heavy-duty, a term all truck fans should be familiar with. These bad boys have a winch that can pull up to 16,500 lbs. without breaking a sweat. Standard comes in at around 9,500 lbs. and is more geared for the day-to-day motorist who likes dirtying it up once in a while.

Go Rhino Bed Bars and Xtreme Racks

Bed bars are for everyone, but those who enjoy taking their truck off the pavement and onto the rocky trails at night are who really love these things. That is because Go Rhino bed bars are designed to give you the ultimate freedom in customizing your bed setup for auxiliary lights. Rhino’s bed bars are tubes of steel shaped and angled for you to install them near the back of the cab so that they extend upwards for you to place a light strip on. Intended for a streamlined application, the bars can be layered into double or even triple setups for whatever you need. They are connected together with the help of nylon washers so that there is no dreaded “metal on metal” contact. The bars also feature base plates for installation into the bed itself. This part does require some drilling into your rig, but it’s as minimally invasive as can be. Go Rhino gives you all the hardware you need plus installation instructions.

Xtreme Rack Sport Bar Thunder Series
On the other side of the equation are Xtreme truck sport bars. Once again, the goal here is to give you a way to get a light bar on your truck without the old-school tradition of bolting something into the roof. Xtreme sport bars are straightforward when it comes to installation. All you’ll have to do here is utilize the OEM stake pocket holes in your rails and insert the pillars of the rack right into them. They are much more compact than bed bars and also give you the ability to dazzle things up a bit. Want some flames on the sides of the uprights to send a little message? You can have ‘em, along with several of their attractive finishing options.

Finishes

Go Rhino offers black powder coating, chrome, and polished steel for the wide majority of their inventory. The attribute that makes their finishes stand out is the warranties. You don’t just get a nice, fashionable hunk of steel with Go Rhino!, but you also receive a guarantee that your finish will hold up. Black powder coat and chrome finishes come backed by a 5-year warranty while polished steel comes in with a limited lifetime warranty.

At UltraRev, we’re happy to work with Go Rhino because they make truck parts that not only perform as described, but also don’t make you pull your hair out over installation. They care about their product line and have the reputation to back it up. Truckers who just want some no-nonsense toughness bolted onto their vehicles or custom fanatics looking for both versatility and style have been using Go Rhino parts for a very long time. And that is because of the quality and performance their accessories are known for. Interested in seeing what’s available for your ride? Check out our selection today!
