Sometimes it\u2019s so much trouble getting your vehicle ready for an outdoor adventure it\u2019s almost not worth it. Emphasis on \u201calmost.\u201d \u2018Cause you\u2019re not going to miss out on the excitement of roaming the highways and byways; climbing mountains roads to breathe in the pure, exhilarating air; heading off to your favorite water place to do anything from cliff diving to a sunset sail; or vacationing in the desert to sand surf, hang-glide or search for ancient fossils.<\/p>\n

So you wrestle that cap onto your truck, hoist the cargo carrier up onto your roof, gather up all the sleeping gear and stuff it here and there, and drag out the pet carrier. It is physically and mentally exhausting.<\/p>\n

The founders of FLATED have been outdoor adventurers all of their lives. They each have their own areas of expertise and joined forces to create innovative, hassle-free, affordable and durable products to outfit vehicles.<\/p>\n
