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.

A GLIMPSE INTO OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Take a peek into our world: a tight-knit team of five at the heart of our operations, where every piece is crafted with precision entirely in-house. From raw steel to your finished off-road gear, experience the dedication behind our 100% homegrown manufacturing process.
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.
