Product Lead Times

At DirtBound, every product is crafted to order with unmatched care in our local workshop, not pulled from mass overseas shipments. This hands-on approach ensures superior quality and uniqueness but does require a bit more time. We believe the wait is well worth the personalized touch you'll receive. 
Thank you for your support!

Step 1. Laser Cutting

Beginning with domestic steel, either in sheet or tube form, we utilize our advanced 6Kw 5x10' plate laser and a 3kW tube laser with an 8" capacity to accurately cut the components for your order.

Step 2. Press Forming

Our 6-axis CNC Amada press brake enables Jayme to precisely bend laser-cut components into the specific shapes required for your finished product. Once shaped, your item advances to the welding or assembly queue, poised for the next phase of its journey to completion.

Step 3. Welding

Our skilled fabricators weld laser-cut and formed parts using fixtures and tools, primarily through MIG Pulse and some TIG welding, supported by two human welders and a robotic cell. Post-welding, we smooth the welds and move the product to QC for inspection.

Step 4. Pack & Ship

Next, we prepare items for shipping. If an order awaits additional components, it's queued until completion. We then carefully box or wrap the order, shipping it via a range of carriers. Throughout this journey, the item passes through the hands of five different experts, evolving from a flat sheet of steel to a finished product, all crafted in-house.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Lead Times

  • All DirtBound items, including Bumpers, Sliders, Welded Flares, and Skid Plates, are made in our Chisago City, MN Fabrication shop. Most items are Made-To-Order unless marked as In-Stock, which means they have minimal lead times. We take pride in the quality work we produce, and we know you won't find anything like it on the market. 
  • Why Lead Times May Vary: Lead times are averages and depend on product complexity, material availability, and our operational efficiency. Unexpected issues like equipment malfunctions or supply shortages may extend these times.
  • Acknowledgment: By ordering, you accept the estimated lead times, which are subject to variation due to unforeseen events or supply chain delays.

Order Cancellation Policy

  • Within 48 Hours: Orders can be canceled within 48 hours of placement but are subject to a 5% fee due to non-refundable card processing fees. 
  • After 48 Hours: Cancellations requested after 48 hours, but before fabrication begins, will incur a 20% cancellation/restocking fee. 
  • Fabrication: Orders cannot be canceled once fabrication has started, been sent for powder coating, or shipped.

    Fabrication is considered started once laser cutting has begun.

    All cancellation requests must be made in writing to Hello@dirtboundoffroad.com and you will be notified of approval and refund.
