Sleeper Side Accessories

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleeper Side Accessories

What products are included in the Sleeper Side Accessories category?

This category covers the exterior components mounted along the sleeper side of a semi truck, including battery boxes, tool boxes, storage compartments, fuel tank fairings, sleeper panels, steps, and mounting brackets. These parts are designed to add storage, protection, and a finished look to the side of your sleeper cab.

What materials and finishes are these accessories available in?

Most sleeper side accessories are built from aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum pieces are often available in diamond plate or smooth finishes, while stainless steel options provide a polished or brushed look. The material and finish you choose will affect both the appearance and the long-term durability of the part, so consider your climate and how much wear the component will see.

Will these accessories fit my specific truck make and model?

Fit varies by manufacturer and truck model, so it is important to check the listed compatibility on each product page before ordering. Many sleeper side accessories are designed for a specific make, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, or Freightliner, and mounting points can differ even between model years. If you are unsure, reach out to our team with your truck's year, make, and model to confirm fit.

What is involved in installing sleeper side accessories?

Installation typically involves mounting brackets or hardware that attach to existing frame points on the sleeper side. Some parts bolt on using factory holes, while others may require drilling to match your truck's setup. Hardware is included with most products, but having basic tools on hand, along with a second set of hands for larger pieces like tool boxes or fairings, will make the job easier.

How do I clean and maintain these parts to keep them looking good?

Aluminum diamond plate and stainless steel components hold up well to regular use, but routine cleaning helps prevent buildup of road grime and salt that can dull the finish over time. Washing with mild soap and water, followed by a dedicated metal polish for stainless or aluminum, will help maintain the shine and protect against corrosion, especially in areas with harsh winters.
