Leave a comment
I receive quite a few photos from customers but some get your attention more than others. Josh from Canada sends us some photos of his FJ Cruiser with one of our winch mounts powder coated black along with some Van Beest shackles coated red. We also sent him some of our popular Sirius Pro Series lights that mount right up on the light tabs included in our mount.

Under armor: RCI full package
Suspension:  OEM Heavy Duty Lift Kit 2.5″  
Wheel setup:  ProComp Wheels 16″x8″ (x5).  Rubber: BF Goodrich KO2 (winter) 33″ and Mud tires 33″ general tire (Summer)

2014 Tacoma T/X Baja – Winch Mount – Warn VR8S

Leave a comment

Mark from California is another happy customer and sends us some pics of his 2014 T/X Baja. Mark purchased our popular winch mount (black powder coated) for his Tacoma along with a Warn VR8S winch. He notes that the winch controller did not need to be relocated over the winch spool…which is typical with this setup.

He also goes on to say “Thank you for a quality product..” . Thank YOU for your business!

Memorial Day 2019 – Sgt Casey Joyce – B/Co 3/75th RGR

We will be closed today to honor those who have fallen in defense of our country, our ideals and our freedoms. There will be no sales occurring for Memorial Day.
 
I would like to take this opportunity as I do every year to honor my cousin, Sgt Casey Joyce B/Co 3/75th RGR, who was KIA in Somalia, Mogadishu on October 3rd, 1993. He is the namesake of my oldest son and a far better man at a young age than I will ever be.
 
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” General George S. Patton
 
And yet I still mourn his loss as so many others do.

Product Updates

March 5, 2019

This is the busy time of year and we often struggle to keep up with demand. This year we started off with a larger inventory than normal to limit any shortages. So far so good overall. We have run out of FJ Camera Armor but should have another batch ready sometime around the 12th of March. We ran out of our 2012-2015 Tacoma winch mounts for a few days but 25 more just rolled off of the welding tables.

The 2016 Tacoma winch mounts have really taken off with consistent sales and looking forward to scheduling another run very soon to keep up with demand. 2005-2011 Tacoma winch mounts sales have been steady as of course have the FJ mounts as usual.

Be sure to check out our winch mount/recovery winch packages for each model!

We are cutting a couple of product prototype winch mounts for the 2014+ 4Runner for a final fitment then off to production before Spring.

We are also working on getting our longstanding FJ40 bumper in to production at this time as well.

MEAN MOTHER SPECIAL – FREE SHOVEL!

Leave a comment

THIS OFFER HAS EXPIRED

Mean Mother. That’s all you need to know.

We are a stocking distributor of what I think is a high quality winch at a great price. The Aussies designed these winches and as we all know they USE their off road gear in Australia. Each winch is tested to ensure it meets specification before leaving the factory so you know what is going on your rig and that it WILL work properly when you need it most.

Having said all of that, U.S. Off Road has been selling quite a few Mean Mother winches with nothing but great results. Not only that but we will be featuring Mean Mother at the Unlimited Off-Road Expo – TEXAS this weekend (BOOTH 32). Additionally we are partnering with Mean Mother 4WD and their distributor 3pConnect with Josh Backes at the great 2017 Lone Star Toyota Jamboree this May.

To kick this next few months off we are offering a super deal on Mean Mother 9500lb Edge Recovery Winches, whether purchased individually or in one of our Winch Mount Combination Kits by giving you one of Mean Mother’s kickass Recovery Shovels. A FREE shovel that retails for $99! You gotta check these out, they transform in to a variety of configurations and are built Aussie tough!

9500 lb Edge Winch: https://www.usoffroad.us/store/winches/vehicle-winches/mean-mother/mean-mother-edge-9500lb-winch/

Winch Mount Combination Packages: https://www.usoffroad.us/store/bumpers/winch-mounts/combo-packages/

NEW PRODUCT: 2016+ TACOMA WINCH MOUNT

Leave a comment

The long awaited and highly requested winch mount for the 2016+ Toyota Tacoma is now in stock!

Don’t want to add a full replacement bumper to your Tacoma just so you can mount a winch? You are not alone. Full replacement bumpers are 100-150+ lbs, degrade aerodynamics and are expensive. Keep your stock bumper cover, factory looks and your MPG with the installation of this winch mount within and behind the stock bumper cover.

  • Designed and built in Texas!
  • No cutting on your bumper cover!
  • Includes our new Big Mouth Hawse coated in a special Black or Silver Teflon infused powder!
  • Simple cutting of black removable chin piece for recovery points and hawse/winch opening. Skid plate acts as simple and very precise template.
  • Removable skid plate included. If you damage your skid plate in the future just remove 6 bolts, remove and replace!
  • Includes power steering cooler relocation brackets.
  • Optional winch solenoid box relocation bracket. (if your winch doesn’t allow side mounting)
  • Optional license plate mount for states that require front license plates.
  • CNC Laser cut – clean and precise
  • 1″ wide shackle mounts are drilled .890″ ID for .880″ OD or smaller pins which is common for a 3/4″ shackle. Pin sizes can vary. We offer Van Beest shackles which will fit our shackle mounts.
  • Lighter than most aftermarket bumpers at 62 lbs WITH the included Big Mouth hawse!
  • Built to last. Winch tubs are .250″ steel with a .135″ skid plate.
  • Full height front and rear winch tub.
  • Will accept most winches with industry standard 10″ x 4.5″ bolt pattern.
