AR | RUTS : Ruggedized Utility Trail Sights


Accessory #3. Some of you have asked for it and we're doing it! We're taking the OEM's mixture of plastic and metal and cranking it to 11! The RUTS will be the foundation of a line of accessories that I think will become the Swiss Army Knife for mounting and stowing of readably available off road or overlanding gear. We'll forgo the plastic cap for full billet construction and really anchor it to the inner fender for really robust support. I'll retain a lot the OEM look with the nuanced BRONCO grill look to the opening and mechanical hardware, but the RUTS will be capable of so much more. Think HiLift jack, Maxtrax, aux lighting, recovery cables, fishing poles, limb risers, GoPro, flag, antenna, lashing locations for a kayak, long boards, paddle boards, canoe ... you name it. If there is a use case for additional mounts or adapters, I'm all ears.

This is a larger and more complex part. I'd love to have it ready for SEMA but that will be an aggressive goal. We'll see.

What the point in making the trail sights metal?

the trial sights also act as tie-downs and mounting points. I'm willing to bet for the Overlanding/RTT community expanding the number of connection points for a larger roof rack/cage will allow a lot more static weight and much larger tents.

Imagine something like this:
Barricade Jeep Wrangler Roof Rack Basket; Textured Black J100175B (87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ & TJ) (extremeterrain.com)
But connected at the rear roll cage, windshield mounting points, rear view mirror accessory point, and the trail sights

Aluminum is stronger than plastic. Having a full billet aluminum part will facilitate machined threaded features, bracket mounting, and overall increased part strength.

Everybody laughing at my post but I am confused as to what this part is and where it fits to the vehicle
The RUTS will replace the OE trail sights that mount to the inner fender.

Increased weight rating? Also I got an idea for a plank on a 180 hinge with a kickstand leg. Would make a sweet trail counter top bar.
