ABOUT US

DirtBound Offroad, originating as Wilson FabWorks in 2010 in a modest two-car garage, has evolved into a premier Jeep Cherokee & Comanche accessory brand under the leadership of founder Max W. Despite expanding to a 14,000 sqft state-of-the-art facility in Chisago City, MN, and embracing cutting-edge manufacturing technologies like 3Kw fiber and tube lasers, we've remained a dedicated 5-person team. 

Our journey, marked by a commitment to lean manufacturing and operational efficiency through innovations like our DBERP system, has been driven by a passion for quality, precision, and the off-road community. 

DirtBound Offroad stands as a testament to how a small, passionate team can deliver exceptional, handcrafted off-road gear, ensuring each product embodies our commitment to excellence and innovation.
