ABOUT US

DirtBound started as Wilson FabWorks back in 2010, working out of a two-car garage with a passion for building quality parts for Jeep Cherokee and Comanche.

Over the years, we've grown and now operate out of a large shop in Chisago City, MN. Even with advanced tools like our fiber plate laser, tube laser, CNC press brake, and robotic welding cell, we’re still the same close-knit team driven by our love for off-roading and making gear that lasts.

Our focus on lean manufacturing and our KanbanCore system helps us stay efficient without losing that personal touch.

Every product we make reflects our dedication to quality and the off-road community that inspires us.
