Protect Your Truck's Bed with Husky Quad Caps

One area of every truck that doesn't get enough attention is the bed rails, which is odd considering the actual bed of a truck is what makes it...well, a truck. But the bed rails are very often under attack, from your elbows pulling some piece of equipment over them to various types of debris that litter the roadways. On top of that, for some truck models they can become rusted over the lips of the rails. That could mean either a simple paint job or worse, some legitimate body work. No matter what, you shouldn't leave the rails unprotected if you don't have to and make no mistake about it, you don't have to.

Husky Quad Caps are rubberized TPO rail liners that install right over the rails and offer an instant degree of top-notch protection. Once installed, Husky quad caps act as a brute-tough layer of defense against scratches and dents. Every time you lug tools out of the bed or throw some cargo into the back, you will no longer have to worry about the rails being susceptible to possible scuffing or scraping. This is a big deal, especially for truck owners who work with tools or other equipment as part of their jobs.

Husky bed rail protectors are black, so they match the tailgate liner of every truck spot-on. They also fit seamlessly, as if they came as part of the factory design.

When it comes to installation, bed rail protectors are very easy. Husky truck bed caps are backed with double-sided foam tape, so all it really takes is cleaning off the bed rails with alcohol and then sticking them on. Plus, once they are on they will stay on. In fact, the only way they will come off is if you painstakingly uninstall them yourself.

UltraRev offers Husky truck bed quad caps for many truck models. To see what's available for your hauler, check out our online store today!

Husky Heavy Duty Liners Deliver the Protection Truck Owners Need

Truck owners, most of the time, require more protection inside the cab than folks who own cars. Think of the basic generalized profile of people you know who own trucks. Most of the time these drivers are in and out of their vehicles frequently, they likely work outside or even if they don’t, they use their trucks for recreational activities. This means that the cabin floors are constantly exposed to whatever it is you’re bringing back in your rig with you. So if you’ve been on dirt, the floors get dirty, if it’s sand, sandy, and so forth. This kind of thing is par for the course.

That’s why a lot of times, Husky Heavy Duty Liners are so popular for truckers. Husky Heavy Duty Liners aren’t marketed specifically to truck owners, but it is within this segment where they are probably used the most. And for good reason. What makes Heavy Duty Liners different from other types of floor mats is what actually goes on in the mats themselves. Regular truck floor mats have some lines in them, some 3D studs of some sort, maybe some rubber bullet-like shapes…you get the picture. It’s just enough weird shapes to make it look like the mat provides some grip. Husky heavy duty mats are different.

Instead of oddly-shaped studs and squiggly lines parading throughout the surface of the mat, Husky Liners show off deeply ingrained channels that are put there for the sole purpose to trap any kind of spills or water from escaping. They aren’t barely three-dimensional, either. The channels are deep enough to where you can stand a penny up inside of them. You could spill a quart of milk on top of one of these mats and it’ll catch all of it.

Of course, it all comes down to the material. After all, when we’re talking about floor mats, material is perhaps the most important part of the equation. Husky pounds their heavy duty liners with their own rubberized concoction that is GUARANTEED to never crack, rip, or become uncompromised in any way. This is absolutely crucial. If you use your Silverado to get you to the construction site, you can rest assured your boots won’t be pulling on the material and stomping the liners into flattened rubber mush. No way. You can count on them to outlast the life of your vehicle.

When you’re looking for floor liners and mats for your machine, UltraRev has you covered with a full line of Husky Heavy Duty Floor Liners. We’ve got you covered with truck mats for all sorts of models including Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge Ram, and more.

Husky Liners – Floor Mats for All Seasons

Husky Classic Series Floor Liners
In the Northeastern part of the US, we have been enduring one of the coldest and most snow-filled winters in recent years. Naturally, in the automotive industry, a lot of companies use winter weather as a major selling point when it comes to floor mats. You have read the copy before, with sentences such as “floor mats protect your car against ice and slush.” And it’s true, undeniably. Car floor mats are important if you want to keep your interior carpet in good condition, especially during periods of ice and snow. But the thing is, unless you live in the arctic, the weather will change, the season will pass, and all that jibber-jabber about floor mats during the winter becomes irrelevant.

Drivers who are really interested in taking care of their vehicles employ floor mats throughout the entire year. But if you happen to find yourself as a more casual car owner, using floor liners is actually even more important than it is for the typical enthusiast. Why? Because it’s one less thing to worry about. Husky Liners are what would be defined as “all weather floor mats”, meaning they don’t have a specialty. They are equally stringent protecting against sand and dirt as they are snow and water. In other words, folks living out in San Diego can benefit as much from Husky Liners as those residing in Vermont in January.

There are various reasons why Husky Liners Floor Liners are versatile. Firstly, they are made of a rubberized compound the company invented (and patented). If you haven’t ever felt this material, it’s…different. It doesn’t feel like the generic kind of rubber you find floor mats at the local auto parts store are made from. Husky Liners feature a surface that when in contact with wetness, maintains a resistant nature. Think of it as the Under Armor for interior defense. This material, however, also does an outstanding job against sand, soil, rocks, and dirt. So if you’re a surfer, you won’t have to worry so much about millions of grains of sand finding their way past your floor liners and into your car’s carpet. 

Husky X-ACT Contour Floor Liners
Another one of Husky’s biggest attributes is the way they fit into a vehicle. Unlike regular floor mats, Husky floor liners cover virtually every square inch of your interior’s floor. To put it differently, they take away the gaps other floor liners present. If you aren’t using custom floor mats currently and still display the mats your car came with, you can see it for yourself. You will notice that your current mats are assigned to a specific area of the floor. On the driver’s side, it is under the pedals, on the passenger’s side, it is immediately underneath the glove box. In the backseat, your mats are resting right in back of the front seats. Husky floor mats are designed to cover the entire area of your floor. The only visible gaps should be under the front seats, and that’s basically it. Husky mats provide an encompassing shield thanks to an exact custom fit to your vehicle’s specs.

 Bottom line, there has been a misconception that custom floor mats are more for people who live and drive in harsh weather conditions than they are for people from dry, sunny climates. When you own a vehicle, no matter where you are from, you are as susceptible to messes and debris inside your ride as anyone else. And if you plan on keeping your car or truck for years to come, failure to replace the factory floor mats will come back to haunt you. Husky Liners floor liners are a great way to protect your car’s carpet as well as its resale value.

UltraRev carries Husky Floor Liners for most vehicles. Check out our selection today or contact us directly for more info!

DC Sports Header Systems Rocking Out for 2014

It’s still early in the year but you can kind of see where trends are developing already and a lot of the news has been about DC Sports. DC Sports has always been an exciting and highly-respected name in the performance parts realm, but this year looks to be even bigger for the California based outfit. The racing scene has picked up over the last year with more shows, more competitions, and of course, the entire subculture that surrounds it. There’s a pretty good chance that it will be DC Sports Headers at the forefront of it all. You have so many drivers switching out for heavier engines in their compacts that it’s a good bet they’ll want lighter headers to help them flow more freely. Well, that’s what they’ll do if they want to win, anyway! DC Sports 3 into 1 Headers are the go-to for this upgrade, canceling out the heaviness of a V6 with the lighter, more accommodating steel setup.

DC Sports also showcases their 4-1 and 4-2-1 headers, which have always been big helps to performance drivers. Stainless steel or ceramic-coated depending on the application, the right header package makes a big difference for the low to mid-range sprint you need. Quick recommendation: If you are not really experienced, don’t try this at home. Get your header installed professionally, preferably by a shop that is familiar with making racing customizations or is just a place you trust.

The calendar is packed this year with plenty of events so even if you aren’t a competitor, get out and enjoy the fun! Before the flag drops many events will let you walk around and check the drivers’ gear under the hood and elsewhere. You are bound to see plenty of DC action up close and personal.


It doesn’t matter if you don’t go for checkered flags, DC Sports headers are for any driver who wants to go the distance. Check out our selection at UltraRev to see what we have for your ride. We’ll take care of you with any of the DC Sports parts you’re looking for!
