Aftermarket Daily News 8 9 Wednesday, November 1, 2017 Dee Zee is known for building durable, functional and stylish products for today's trucks. In 2016, the company part- nered with Kelderman Manufacturing, a well-known name in the off-road industry, to design and manufacture its first off-road bumper. Each is custom fit for the specific year, make and model of your truck. You can trust the K-Series Bumper as an accessory that will last the life of your investment. Each features one-piece construction, made from heavy-duty steel for serious strength. They are finished with Dee Zee's exclusive two-stage fin- ishing process, where they are e-coated and then powder coated with a textured black finish featuring NRT™ to inhibit corrosion. Add a winch plate with 1-inch thick shackle mounts to Heavy Duty models and the K-Series Bumper can handle up to a 16,500 pound winch. These bumpers are easily customized, Dee Zee (Cont'd. from p. 1) with cutouts provided on each side for standardized LED lighting sizes, plus a center opening for up to 20-inch light bar (lights not included). The back end of your truck is some- times overlooked when it comes to acces- sories, so don't forget to add a matching K-Series Rear Bumper to complete the look. They include integrated steps on either side to provide easy bed access. Both the Front and Rear bumpers are eas- ily installed – no drilling, welding or cut- ting needed. Made in the USA, Dee Zee's K-Series Bumpers offer a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing, and one-year warranty on the black powder coat finish. In addition to bumpers, Dee Zee manufactures a wide range of truck accessories, including tool boxes, trans- fer tanks, side steps and cab racks.
