At Renegade Truck Accessories Inc., Our Shop In Austin, Texas Carries A Wide Variety Of Truck Accessories To Enhance Your Ride And Its Performance.
Factory trucks leave the dealership built for average conditions, which means they rarely match how working drivers or off-roaders actually use them. Bare sheet metal beds scratch on the first haul, stock halogen headlights fade on dark country roads, and low factory suspensions scrape over rough job sites. Outfitting a pickup requires parts that handle real weight, comprehensive truck performance upgrades, and installation that stays tight after thousands of miles on Texas highways.
Since opening our shop on Research Boulevard in 2005, our crew has built over 80 years of combined hands-on experience fitting work rigs and personal trucks across Austin, Texas. We test hardware in real-world conditions, recommend gear based on actual towing needs, and complete every installation in-house.
Truck owners bring their vehicles to our shop for specific upgrades:
- Bare truck beds needing impact protection against heavy tools and gear
- Trailer hitch setups requiring proper gross weight and tongue capacity matching
- Tall factory ride heights that make entering and exiting the cab difficult
- Stock suspensions that sag under heavy payload or tongue weight
- Dim factory lighting that fails on unlit rural roads or night job sites
- Hot cab interiors built up from relentless Central Texas sun exposure
Heavy Duty Hitches and Towing Frameworks
Towing a heavy trailer with an incorrect hitch height or underrated mounting receiver causes dangerous sway, uneven tire wear, and frame strain. A proper tow setup accounts for total gross vehicle weight, tongue pressure, and drop distance to keep the trailer level on the highway.
We fit custom receiver hitches, weight-distribution systems, and fifth-wheel setups tailored to your truck frame. Mounting a hitch involves securing high-grade steel hardware directly to factory frame points without compromising structural integrity. Matching receiver classes to your specific trailer load lets you haul machinery, campers, or utility gear with full control.
Bed Protection Caps and Cargo Security
Unprotected truck beds rust quickly once scratches expose raw metal to rain and chemical exposure. Bare bed floors also let cargo slide during transport, denting the sidewalls and damaging valuable tools.
We line truck beds with heavy-duty drop-in liners and fitted mats that absorb impact and prevent cargo slippage. For complete weather protection and security, we install hard folding tonneau covers, soft roll-up covers, and fiberglass caps. Fitting a camper shell or bed cover keeps gear dry during sudden downpours and locks equipment out of sight.
Bumpers Armor and Cab Accessibility
Stock plastic bumpers crumble under light brush contact or trail impacts. Upgrading to heavy-gauge steel front bumpers and full-width grille guards protects your radiator, winch mounts, and front bodywork from road debris and deer strikes.
Getting into a lifted or high-clearance truck cab should not require jumping. We install wide aluminum running boards, steel nerf bars, and individual side steps directly to body mounts. Selecting wide step pads with aggressive tread grip prevents slipping when boots are wet or muddy.
Suspension Tuning Lifts and Wheel Packages
Heavy payloads and tongue weights push factory setups down, lifting the front end and throwing off headlight alignment and steering response. Upgrading your truck suspension with leveling kits raises the front end to eliminate factory rake, creating space for larger off-road tires.
For serious trail clearance and aggressive stances, we install complete suspension lift kits. Changing suspension geometry requires precise alignment, correct shock valving, and recalibrated drive angles. We match heavy-duty wheels and all-terrain tires to your lift height, balancing road noise, wet traction, and load ratings.
High Output Lighting and LED Conversion Kits
Yellowing factory halogen bulbs leave blind spots along unlit Texas backroads. Upgrading to high-output LED headlights sharpens beam projection and extends forward visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.
We wire custom auxiliary lighting packages for worksites and trail driving. Installing high-intensity LED light bars, fog lights, and rear floodlights gives you complete perimeter illumination. Our technicians run clean wiring harnesses through relays and cab switches, protecting your electrical system from power surges.
Heat Rejection Window Tinting for Texas Climates
Summer heat in Austin bakes truck interiors, cracking leather seats and overwhelming factory air conditioning. Standard glass allows solar heat and ultraviolet rays to penetrate directly into the cab.
We apply high-performance window tint films that block solar heat and glare before it enters your truck. Precision computer-cut patterns fit glass edges cleanly without bubbling or peeling. Blocking ultraviolet light keeps your dashboard intact, reduces cab temperatures, and adds visual privacy for tools stored inside the cab.
