The shop on Redwood Road

We design and manufacture heavy-duty off-road truck and SUV accessories at 720 S Redwood Rd in Salt Lake City. Steel arrives flat and leaves as a bumper, skid, slider or rack — cut, formed, welded, finished and crated in one building.

We fixture every platform ourselves and revise it when a customer sends a photo of what the trail did. The phone reaches the shop floor, not a call center.

Common questions

Why is there no online store?

Armor is configured, not carted — winch or no winch, hoop or low-profile, steel or aluminum, step or no step. We spec the build with you and quote it with freight to your ZIP, so there are no surprises and nothing arrives that doesn't fit.

Will it fit my truck?

If we have fixtured the platform, yes — everything mounts to factory holes. Send year, model and trim with your request and we confirm before anything is cut. If the platform is new to us, we quote it as a one-off.

Do I need to cut or drill anything?

No. Bumpers, sliders and skids bolt to existing frame and crossmember points. A few high-clearance bumpers need the plastic valance trimmed, and that is stated up front in the install guide.

How long does a build take?

Current lead time is 3 weeks from deposit, plus 3–7 days in transit. We email tracking the day your crate leaves the shop.

Can you build for a fleet?

Yes. We run repeatable batches of the same package for utility, rescue, guide and agency fleets, with consistent finish and documented lead times.

How does shipping work?

Bumpers, sliders and racks ship LTL freight on a pallet with a liftgate and a call to schedule; skid plates go ground. Freight over $1,500 ships free to the lower 48.

Can I return a part?

Uninstalled, unmarked parts in original packaging can be returned within 30 days, less return freight and a 15% restocking fee. Custom fabrication is non-returnable.
