The recent addition of a state- of-the-art Salvagnini fully automated laser cutting machine has enabled T- REX designers more freedom to create designs that rely heavily on laser cut- ting. This exciting new series of grilles marries the innovation of its sister company, ZROADZ Lighting Solutions, with T-REX's renowned design and production capabilities. The resulting ZROADZ series of grilles incorporates a modern web design in a one-piece laser cut construction. Many hours were devoted to finalizing the unique web design and retaining the rigidity necessary to allow light mount- ing. ZROADZ series grilles feature a Slim Line single row light bar, com- plete installation hardware and a matching wiring harness. The afford- ability of these grilles makes them an ideal option to the popular Torch grilles and these complete kits offer unmatched value anywhere in the mar- ketplace. ZROADZ series grilles are available for most popular late model trucks, with new applications being added regularly. ZROADZ LED Lighting Solutions is a wholly owned subsidy of T-REX Truck Products Inc. The company focus is on providing a complete offering of light mounting bracketry and complete LED light kits. ZROADZ offerings include three patented products, includ- ing roof mounted light bars with single bolt attachment featuring its patented thru bolt wiring and its patented noise reducing wind diffusers that solve the issue of noisy roof mounted light bars. One of the most innovative products to hit the market in years, ZROADZ patented Modular Bar mounting system pro- vides forward, rear and side facing lighting options all in one system. Completely customizable and able to be changed as needs require, ZROADZ Modular Bar is a must- have for the serious enthusiast. ZROADZ offers applications for popular foreign and domestic light trucks with forward, rear and side facing appli- cations as well as the most complete offering of Jeep lighting applications available through one brand. ZROADZ's design focus is on pro- viding products that are fully functional, solve known issues and offer bolt on applications. Most products utilize com- mon hand tools for installation, making ZROADZ Lighting Solutions an ideal choice for the casual or professional installer. This approach has proven to be widely accepted by shops, new car deal- erships and DIYers alike.
