ARCHETYPE RACING | RUTS - Ruggedized Utility Trail Sights

[EIGHTLUG]

The concept modular base for the RUTS project are installed. The first add-on accessory for the base plate is the Trail Sight Delete. I know it’s not a look for everyone.

The RUTS billet accessory mount design is next. This will take the plastic trail sight to a whole new level!

I agree. Wait until you see the RUTS version.

I think it looks better with the sight delete and it's the one thing I've been waiting for someone to release, but sadly, I don't have a Bronco yet.

The delete looks great. I wonder if a body color match or shadow black grille color match would look good. The delete is also billet right?

I'm thinking either billet or a similar plastic to the OEM part that ships either in OEM 'plastic' color or primered in PPG for customer finish to their paint color. I like providing options.

The RUTS will definitely be machined in 6061 billet.

Will you be designing limb risers for the RUTS series? Too bad on the tritium sights, but I guess I can just add this to it: https://amzn.to/3FTAZAi

The modular base design is complete. The Trail Sight Delete is complete. Both parts are going into production now. The actual RUTS are already in design and my oh my… we’re, once again, crushing it on the design.

We're moving right along. I'd say 90% complete and almost ready for prime time.

We'll have a full billet trail sight that mounts to the modular base plate. Weight rating, at this point will be limited by what the fender can support, not the plastic trail sight. With the modular base plate, you can swap between the trail sight delete for a smooth look or easily swap to the trail sight. The ultra clean stainless cable limb riser is is an add on. With our upper mount on the soon to come roof rack, it will not be necessary to remove the limb riser to fully open your hood. There are 'hidden' M8 threaded locations on the top of the trail sight. These will be used for the upcoming mounts. Think HiLift Jack... proper beefy stuff. This will give those that want it, a real overland/exploration look.

We're running prototype parts this week. Actual photos soon!

My wallet is open and ready…

How much taller are these than the std. sights?

The size increase is subtle. I’ll get a render of the RUTS overlayed on the OEM. I’m my opinion, any larger and they start to look out of place.

What if we don't want a roof rack, but DO want limb risers? Will you guys make a bracket that attaches to the mount points above the windshield, yet still allow the painted caps to attach for a clean look?
