Rocky Road Outfitters

What Rocky Road Outfitters does

Rocky Road Outfitters is a privately held off-road vehicle parts manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer headquartered in Park City, Utah, founded in the 1980s by Glenn after he was introduced to rockcrawling in Moab and began modifying a Suzuki Samurai. The company designs and manufactures parts for over 100 vehicle platforms across Dodge/Ram, Ford, GMC/Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, and other 4x4 brands, with a flagship product line of rock sliders and step kits, complemented by winch bumpers, suspension lift kits, air lockers, security drawers, snorkels, snowplow hardware, wheel spacers, ring-and-pinion gear sets, and overland/camping gear. It sells a combination of its own branded products and third-party brands (ARB, Tuffy Security, Old Man Emu, Dobinson, Diode Dynamics, AirFlow, Spidertrax, Revolution Gear, Detail K2) through its rocky-road.com e-commerce storefront, a dealer network, and a regional professional installation service covering Northern Utah.

The business model is a hybrid hardware retailer and specialty manufacturer. Primary revenue comes from e-commerce hardware sales with unit pricing ranging from roughly $99 for wheel spacers to over $4,000 for winch bumpers and security drawers, complemented by professional installation services in the Utah market and dealer-channel reselling. Marketing is conducted through the vehicle-specific e-commerce storefront, an email newsletter, and organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram. The company operates with a 22-person team of off-road enthusiasts.
