Default Edmonton truck accessory shops

I was sure there was a thread on here awhile back about recommendations for truck accessories in Edmonton but I couldn't find it through search.

So, that said, where would you suggest? Pro Truck seems to have a good selection.....

What I'm looking for first is a good quality winter front/grille insert. The one I wanted isn't made anymore (Lund). So now it looks like either Cloud Rider or Air Hawk. Any other suggestions?

Eventually will probably want a tonneau cover (Leer), bull/light bar and LED fog/driving lights.

Thanks and I apologize for not being able to find the other one.

I have used Truck Outfitters several times and been quite happy with service, selection, and price. They have some sales over the year too...

Raven Truck Accessories caries Leer. I have got two Leer canopies from them and was happy with pricing/service.

I am sure they will have the rest of the stuff you are looking for.

I generally use Truck Outfitters - although I do get a little discount because of my employer.

My only dealings with Raven went poorly. I won't get all slanderous here, but I also will not go back. Ever.

I have had pretty good experience at canopy west. The manager there seems pretty down to earth and approachable. I am sure they all have good and bad though.

Most of the truck accessory shops do installs. There is some variation in prices from one to another though. And different quality of side steps. Some thinner wall pipe than others etc.
Painted ones have to be kept real clean in winter or they will rust. I coated mine with black box liner paint and coated the inside with a rust inhibitor(Fluid Film from CT). Chrome is better for less rust problems but i still would spray some rust protector inside of pipe before install.
They are real easy to install yourself. Most use existing holes in the truck so just normal hand tools are needed. Mine took about a hour to install,but second time around i would guess less time.
