On a customer's truck
A customer's Ford Ranger Tremor with a Candy Red Refuge, rooftop tent, and awning.
Why it's zinc-dipped
“Dipping is a more labor-intensive process that involves dipping the part in the zinc instead of just coating it. The process takes time and costs more money, but the end result is a product that is much more resistive to rust and corrosion. A perfect example is our Jeep Gladiator that lives in harsh Minnesota winters, and has no rust!”
— Elias Brown, Co-Founder
That extra time is why every rack is built to order and ships in 3–5 weeks. Backed by a 3-year anti-corrosion warranty.
How it's built
Every Refuge starts as flat U.S. steel. The parts are laser-cut, then bent on the press brake, right here in Colorado.
Watch it on the trail.
