Westin Automotive leads the charge in 2024 for off-road enthusiasts seeking fresh new gear.
As the popularity of overlanding continues to grow, so does its crossover potential with traditional off-roading. In fact, the two categories have become pretty blended over the years.
While off-roading typically involves short, adrenaline-packed excursions and overlanding emphasizes extended journeys with vehicle-based camping, both activities prioritize adventure and resourcefulness. They both put some serious stress on a vehicle, too.
Many of Westin Automotive’s product offerings are well-suited to support the challenge and excitement of pushing a rig to its limit. Whether it’s for an afternoon on the trails, a week in Moab, or a month traveling through the Great Unknown, the company knows that safely reaching your destination and returning home are the most critical parts of the mission.
So, if you’re an off-road enthusiast, overlanding aficionado, or just someone looking to enhance the exterior protection of their truck, Jeep, or SUV, take a look at the exciting new products that Westin has on tap for 2024.
Westin EXP Truck Topper
When your pickup doubles as home base, a truck shell offers a safe and easy way to keep all your high-priced gear and essentials securely stowed in the cargo bed. A common drawback of these accessories, however, is not being able to quickly and conveniently access the gear when you need it. The Westin EXP Topper resolves this issue thanks to its modular construction featuring multiple locking door openings.
To make this topper even more functional, integrated roof rails make mounting options almost endless so you can easily haul all your gear in a cinch. Skis and snowboards? Let’s go! Canoes, kayaks, and standup paddle boards? You bet. Sleeping accommodations for you and your co-pilot? With a static load limit of 700 lbs. and a dynamic load limit of 300 lbs., the EXP Topper can handle just about any challenge you throw at it.

Any product destined for the rigors of off-road trails needs to be constructed with durability at the forefront. Westin fortified the EXP Truck Topper with a 5-panel double-walled aluminum construction that not only strikes the perfect balance between strength and weight reduction, but also stands up to the elements thanks to weatherproof joints and seals and a sleek, black powder coating.
A built-in third brake light prioritizes safety by bumping up visibility, while an interior magnetic LED light offers instant – and easily rechargeable – illumination when needed.
OEM fitment makes for an easy installation, with assembly in under an hour. Enjoy complete removal in 15 minutes or less for hassle-free access to your bed’s cargo area. All necessary hardware and instructions are included. Currently, there are vehicle-specific fitment applications for the Ford F-150, Jeep Gladiator, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tacoma.

The ultimate sidekick for outdoor escapades, the Mesa Roof Rack is crafted from high-grade extruded aluminum and precision-engineered for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

There’s also an integrated and detachable 16-gauge aluminum wind deflector panel for extra functionality and enhanced aerodynamics. When left in place, the panel reduces drag and cuts down on annoying wind noise, ensuring a smoother, more fuel-efficient journey. Remove it, and voila! You reveal a convenient light mount channel, ready to accommodate auxiliary lighting for those nighttime adventures or low-light conditions, boosting your visibility and safety.
Crafted for the long haul, the Mesa Roof Rack is coated with an electrostatic base coat for top-notch corrosion resistance, then topped with a rugged textured black powder coat finish for extra durable protection. Best of all, installation is a breeze with all necessary hardware included, plus a solid 3-year warranty to seal the deal.

Pro-e Power Running Boards
With all that cargo stored away in the truck bed or up top on the roof rack, you might need a leg up to reach everything. Grab a boost with the Westin Pro-e Power Running Boards.
A top-notch upgrade for Trucks, Broncos, Jeeps, or SUVs, these boards automatically extend and retract when the doors open and close for easy entry. Conveniently there when you need them and hidden when you don’t, the boards seamlessly integrate with the vehicle’s body and maintain its sleek appearance.
If you’re worried an electric running board can’t stand up to off-grid adventures, rest assured the Pro-e is built to last. Crafted of corrosion-resistant aluminum and equipped with two waterproof IP68 rated motors per side, the Pro-e Running Boards can stand up to wet, muddy, and snowy conditions, and can even be submerged under water through river crossings.

Offering outstanding protection in simple but rugged designs, the team of products includes aggressive rock sliders, skid plates, bull bars, brush guards, and coming soon – a new front and rear bumper.
Forged from high-strength 7-gauge steel covered in a textured black powder coat, these bumpers make for promising additions to the lineup, offering superior strength at an affordable price.
With an optimized angle of approach over factory equipment, the new XTS front bumper is ready for off-road adventures featuring a 4.5” x 10” mount to accommodate most winches up to 12,000 lbs. capacity and two recovery points for shackles.
