The Origins of Addictive Desert Designs

ADD was founded in 2007 in Arizona, United States. Since then, they’ve made every truck accessory and upgrade in their Chandler-based factory. With a focus on quality materials, exceptional fitment and utilising the most up-to-date technology, their core range started off with bumper bars. They’ve since expanded to include chase racks and tyre carriers to deliver a comprehensive range that enables you to upgrade your truck to handle everything the toughest drives can throw at you.

The Benefits of Addictive Desert Designs Accessories

Front and rear bumper bars give your vehicle more protection in the event of any collisions, help shield your vehicle from debris, and provide some additional impact protection. Not all bumper bars are built the same, and Addictive Desert Designs stands out due to its stringent manufacturing process. 

The process starts off simply, with a plain sheet of metal. It’s then laser cut with incredible precision and assembled and welded to the right dimensions for the truck it’s designed for. Next, they powder-coat the metal in their signature black, complete with satin black accent panels. Following that, the bumper bar is sandblasted and coated in a primer for a secondary protective layer to ensure that if your bumper ever does get scratched, it’ll still have a slick look, as well as plenty of protection to keep you covered until it can be repaired fully. 

The beauty of ADD Offroad bumper bars is that they’re bolt-on. This means you don’t need to worry about drilling precisely or impacting the integrity of your truck. Depending on the bumper bar you choose, they also come with a range of additional features, including winch mounts, D-ring mounts anddriving light mounts. They’re also designed to fit around your truck sensors, so you’ll have all the capabilities you’re used to and then some. Each product is fully custom-made, meaning that when you order, you’ll be getting a product designed and built just for you.
