Smittybilt Overview


Smittybilt is one of the top automotive organizations in the United State when it comes to off-road automobile merchandise. From its bumpers to its other automotive products, the organization has regularly strived to give its customers the best quality products to enhance the safety and comfort of their vehicles. The Smittybilt administrative and corporate executives, technical specialists, and manufacturers have constantly worked to be ahead of its competitors and project into the future. The vision the organization has for the future is reflected in the technological advances in the products it creates. At the same time, Smittybilt has endeavored to provide its products at reasonable prices.

An intriguing feature for off-roaders is the Smittybilt KOH XRC Aluminum front JK bumper. The clear advantage that the aluminum bumper has over the steel models is the lighter weight that the vehicle will carry. Weight reduction results in horse power.

The bumper is made from 1060 aluminum construction. Because aluminum is a lightweight material, drivers will be reaping the benefits of twice the horse power of their vehicles in off-road and on-road treks that they take. They will be able to feel the less bulky ride as the aluminum bumpers make automobiles 60 percent lighter.

The new Smittybilt M1 truck bumpers are an updated edition for this decade. These truck bumpers are bound to make for greater safety both for the well-being of the vehicles as well as the well-being of the motorists who take the wheel of SEMA trucks. The work that has gone into the creation of these bumpers was thoroughly planned by the Smittybilt manufacturing team, who annually seek to find better ways to stay in touch with the advances and technology of the automobile industry.

These are the bumpers for the committed, intense off-road truck driver. The M1 truck bumpers include a two-piece design. This provides an easy installation. No drilling is needed. So the installation is a one-man job. In addition, it includes a winch cradle, D-ring mounts and a fog and driving light kit. The Smittybilt M1 bumpers can accept the heaviest of winches--up to 16,500 pounds--which means motorists can get the largest of trucks out of the nastiest of jams out on the trail.  

The Smittybilt Atlas rear Jeep JK bumper with tire carrier is also in high demand. For the serious truck driver with a love for off-road traveling, this is a bumper that has everything. The Smittybilt team has created yet another product that will be of great benefit to its customers. It is the continuation of the organization’s commitment to drivers’ safety and comfort.

Equipped with Jerry can holders, the Atlas rear Jeep JK bumper also comes with a rack mounting system for trail gear, D-ring mounts, a tire carrier for up to a 37-inch spare and more. The JK bumper is twice as powerful as the more traditional bumper because the tire carrier is frenched in, which gives the tire carrier a lower center of gravity and better leverage. Furthermore, the increase in seams creates extra strength.

These and other benefits of these fine products are just another example of Smittybilt’s commitment to its customers’ safety and comfort when trekking through the streets or off-roads in their Jeeps and trucks. Smittybilt’s team of corporate executives, manufacturers, and technicians strive to produce goods of the highest quality for its loyal consumers, potential customers, and the casual patron. Smittybilt makes efforts to provide reasonable, low prices that appeal to motorists everywhere in the United States.

Smittybilt: Honing Products to Perfection


For over 50 years, Smittybilt has supplied truck and Jeep accessories that off-roaders can’t get enough of. When Basil “Smitty” Smith started fabricating off-road parts in his garage in 1956, they were developed with passion and released to the public with flair. In the 21st Century, Smittybilt is still keeping that tradition intact and pushing boundaries in the thriving off-road aftermarket parts industry.

Originally named Rock-ett Products, Smittybilt evolved into a father and son business with Smitty and son Tom living and loving the four-wheel drive lifestyle. Tuning in to off-roaders desires, they created accessories that captured the needs of two-, four-, and all-wheel drive vehicle owners. Their innovations reflected this dedication and carried through to their thorough, exacting manufacturing process.

As demand s grew, so did creations. Today, Smittybilt’s product offering exceeds 2,000 and the company services both domestic and international truck and SUV markets. Products like the nerf bar side step and Jeep tubular front and rear bumpers continue to enthuse vehicle owners and galvanize the off-road community.

Smittybilt has remained squarely at the forefront of design, engineering and innovation. For example, Smittybilt winches are total recovery systems with pulling power geared to get off-roaders out of tough spots. One new refinement of the Smittybilt winch is their amphibious technology series designed to be completely submersible and stay 100% sealed. By land or by sea, Smittybilt has all the topnotch dependable accessories owners need for a superior wheeling experience.
