Abstract: A control arrangement is provided for an integrated compressor and winch assembly. The integrated assembly includes: a clutch mechanically coupled to an electric motor and selectively engageable with at least one of a compressor or a winch mechanism; an electrical control circuit having an operational mode for controlling the compressor and another operational mode for controlling the winch mechanism; and a mode selector in communication with the clutch and the electrical control circuit, whereby actuating the mode selector actuates the clutch and selects an operational mode for the control circuit.

Abstract: An integrated air compressor and winch is provided that utilizes a source of rotary motive power for driving both a winch drum and compressor mechanism. The integrated air compressor and winch is preferably provided with a gear case that is operable to provide an appropriate gear reduction for driving the winch drum while providing an appropriate drive speed for operating the compressor.

Abstract: An integrated air compressor and winch is provided that utilizes a single source of rotary motive power for driving both a winch drum and compressor mechanism. The integrated air compressor and winch is preferably provided with a gear case that is operable to provide an appropriate gear reduction for driving the winch drum while providing an appropriate drive speed for operating the compressor.

Abstract: A vehicle having a brush and grill guard fabricated to blend with the contour of the vehicle so that the design features of the vehicle are not compromised. Frame extensions are mounted to the frame and support a pair of vertical support plates. A winch carrier and winch mounted thereon are optionally mounted to the support plates or directly to the vehicle frame. A fascia configured as a compound curve is fitted to the vertical plates and has a removable cover to hide the winch from view when not in use. An exposed edge of the vertical plates and/or the fascia are provided with a protective and visual enhancing elastomer strip molded to the edge.

Abstract: A cover for a pickup truck bed including the features: An anchor strip is applied to the front wall and a front cover panel is hingedly connected thereto. Center and rear panels are hingedly connected together and a lock mechanism on each panel locks the panels in the desired covered position while allowing the individual panels to be unlocked and pivotally opened about the respective hinge connections. The hinge connections permit relative sliding along the hinge axis for dismounting of the cover panels. The panels are sealed to the truck bed walls and the hinge connections are formed by a nesting arrangement that seals and channels water over the truck sides. The rear panel seals against the tailgate and locks the tailgate against opening. The panels are sized to be readily handled by one person and are standardized to fit a variety of truck bed sizes.
