We Build Stuff That Survives

We started 4XNation in a cramped garage with a MIG welder, a snapped axle shaft, and a serious grudge against parts that quit on the trail. Years and a lot of burned wire later, the grudge is now a company.

Fabricators first

We're not a marketing team that found a supplier catalog. We're the people who got tired of watching Toyota 8″ diffs grenade under 37s and decided to build the axle Toyota should have built — the TOY60. Then the Diamond housings. Then weld-together kits for the folks who'd rather burn their own wire than finance someone else's labor. When nobody makes a part right, we make it ourselves. That list gets longer every year — that's the whole plan.

What we make vs. what we carry

Straight talk, because you'd smell anything else: the axle housings, weld kits, and brackets are ours — designed, cut, and welded by us. The tires, recovery gear, and brand-name parts? We didn't make those. Mickey Thompson and BFGoodrich are better at tires than we are, and we're not too proud to say it. What we bring to that side of the catalog is curation: if we wouldn't bolt it to our own rigs, it doesn't get listed. No mystery-brand specials, no race-to-the-bottom junk. Brand-name gear ships direct from the distributor's warehouse, which usually means it gets to you faster than if we played middleman.

The promise

• Fitment before checkout. Pick your rig with the finder and we'll show you what fits. Not sure? Ask a gearhead — a real human who wheels will answer, and we'd rather talk you out of the wrong part than sell it to you.
• Built to be beat on. Everything we fabricate is overkill on purpose, and warrantied like we mean it.
• No pretending. Built-to-order means built to order. Warehouse-direct means warehouse-direct. Lead times live on the product page, not in the fine print.
