In 1956, Basil "Smitty" Smith, started a small machine shop in his garage, called Rock-ett Products. Being one of the original 4-wheel drive enthusiasts, his chief concern was to develop equipment for Jeeps, trucks, and small SUVs. Over the years, Smitty's son Tom worked at Rock-ett and then with the newly named "Smittybilt". Having been exposed to the 4-wheel drive lifestyle all his life, Tom was able to create new and innovative product ideas geared towards the growing off-road aftermarket industry. As the business grew, Tom created more exciting new products including the original "Nerf Bar" side step and tubular front and rear bumpers for Jeeps. Today, Smittybilt, Inc. proudly supplies thousands of customers worldwide with innovative truck and SUV accessories. Smittybilt has expanded its product offering to over 2,000 different products servicing the truck and SUV markets. Welcome to Smittybilt, where innovation and quality are at the forefront of product development.
