We will had a very successful fall full of new product developments. After getting everything setup for full production, we are now ready to shift to some more new products.


  • A Pillar Light Mounts
  • Engine Skid
  • Upper Rear window guards (look like boomarangs that fit nicely with our upper guards)
  • Behind seat Hi Lift mounts

What would you like to see made for your XJ?

*Important note* We are not going to be offer XJ Tube fenders. Reason: They would cost more then $1000 for a full set of 4 (plus truck frieght as they would be too large for UPS), they would be ALOT of work and we feel for that price, they won't sell enough to make it worth while. I am sorry, I know everyone wants to "see" them.
 
those little clothing hangers on the grab handles! Some trick Billet ones or something! :D I honestly can't think of anything right now!
 
I would like to see you guys come up with an 8.8 conversion kit. Just the Leaf spring perches, u-bolts, spring plates, and shock mounts. If you really wanted to get energetic you could source the yoke adapter, and a second passenger side brake line for the kit. I bet you would sell a bunch of those. Only a few companies out there making them, and none are what I would call complete.
 
Or figure out a way to do a full (or almost full) belly skid!!! LOL
 
Hitch mounted tire carrier that can handle a 35" tire..
Jerry can holder that can be attached to the rear hatch.. (im willing to drill into it!)
Pinion gaurds
TC raise kit so us 242 owners can use a 231 Skid
steel Glovebox door with a better quality lock.. (haha yeah right)
maybe some neat Auto shift knobs..
super thin steel or maybe aluminum custom speaker bars for those that are doorless..
Different styles of custom rear compartments/storage to house Trail essentials..

Can I be one of the first for a behind the seat hi-lift mount?

It's been my experience that they are way more trouble than they're worth. I have a formatt fab one.

Really nice to carry your hi-lift around and it doesn't get rusty, dirty, etc.

But when you have to use it, you get to empty the back of the jeep, often in a place that isn't necessarily conducive to maintenance (if you're wheeling).

Just wanted to throw it out there, before you make a 1000 of them and you sell 10 of them.
 
A full belly skid would be cool to see.

A rear shock hoop would be cool too. For everyone who has snapped off those stupid little bolts for the bar pins in the sub frame. It would add a little strength too. Id buy one form you guys if it had the right price point.

What is the "right price point" in your opinion?

From what Ive seen Id say if it was about $100-150ish shipped to my door, Id get one right now. Seams reasonable, yeah...? (I dont know :dunno:) Bent tube, sleeved holes, bent sheet metal ends, and some hardware. Utilizing the rear seat belt bolts and the rear sway bar location would make it a bolt in modification. If you end up making some Id love to be put on the list for one.

I'd probably grab one as well.
 
JKS makes one, but I think the design could be improved upon (thiers bolts into the stock upper shock mounts I think) I'd be happy with a weld in one!
 
I'd like to see an engine skid.
And diff pinion guards would be sweet!!

Have you guys thought about making a dana 30 truss?

Something that goes in between the uca's? I don't need something as big as the tnt setup.

Not really, but we might see what we can come up with.

what about beadlock rings?
Click to expand...

This would not be a big deal at all, however arn't there enough DIY Beadlock kits available already? What would we do to make ours stand out? The price is already beat into the ground from everyone and their brother offering them.

How about some front and rear Bar Pin Eliminators? I would probably buy a pair if they were ready pretty soon

Nope, there are WAY too many companies that make these and they already make them cheap.

Keep the ideas coming!
 
I've almost bought the quarter panel armor a couple times...But I really want something that extends forward to the back of the door (I have a 2 door)...I'd really hate to leave that area exposed/unarmored... So maybe add an option for either 2 door or 4 door when ordering the QP armor? Obviously the 2 door version would cost a bit more, but I think it'd be worth it. Just a thought :)
 
^^speaking of which, if you guys would be interested in at least doing one set of them with the integrated tail light boxes, shoot me a PM with potential pricing. I'd understand if there isn't enough of a demand for doing regular production, but I really want some QP armor that covers that area :thumbup:
