When
WAAG Los Angeles began manufacturing off-road products in 1993,
it had 50 years of experience in manufacturing fine custom brass
and iron bedroom furniture.
The two would seem to have little in common, but WAAG's design savvy,
sophisticated metal-working skills and attention to detail in the
furniture industry made for an easy transition into the competitive
automotive aftermarket world.
In
the process, WAAG has risen to national prominence while transforming
grille guards from the boxy, crudely manufactured eyesores of yesterday
into attractive accessories that reflect the refined styling of
today's trucks and SUV's. The company's progressive approach has
resulted in numerous innovations in off-road gear that remain the
envy of the industry. WAAG introduced contoured styling that follows
and accentuates the distinctive lines of the vehicle. WAAG was also
the first to blend welds, miter tubing and utilize tough, durable
gaskets to eliminate rust.
Perhaps
most importantly, WAAG has always insisted that each grille guard
be an easy, bolt-on installation that requires no cutting or drilling
-- something its competitors can not claim. To achieve such a lofty
goal, WAAG has worked overtime to develop innovative bracketry that
utilizes existing factory holes which saves time for the installer
and ensures a perfect fit every time.
It
is WAAG's high standards and huge customer demand that led to other
ground-breaking WAAG products. WAAG took an item as basic as a side
tube and in 1998 created the first "Wheel-To-Wheel" side
tube that was fully frame mounted and extended to the rear wheel
with a rear step to allow easy access to the truck bed or tool box.
Our Wheel-To-Wheel line has spawned yet another design innovation:
the one-piece "Kickout" side tube for dually pickups that
flares out at the rear to follow the lines of the rear fender. No
manufacturer today offers, or has even attempted such a product.
Most
recently, we introduced the WAAG Rear Bumper Guard, the first guard
of its kind to embody the spirit and design of the front grille
guard. The guard, originally targeted for upscale SUV's with painted
rear bumpers, has proven popular with all models and makes of SUV's
and trucks. The guard, which mounts in just minutes to factory tow-hitch
mount locations, and includes heavy gauge steel plates and protective
vinyl molding, completes the off-road ensemble with style.
WAAG's
precision engineering and cutting-edge design continue to set the
pace in the aftermarket industry as evidenced by the growing number
of WAAG imitators in the off-road field.
Though often copied, WAAG's commitment to quality, customer satisfaction
and being an industry leader has yet to be equaled. WAAG is determined
to keep it that way.
