FAQ's

In most cases, we batch build our products simply because we're set up that way. As a result, it's very difficult to provide an accurate lead time down to the week. We cannot and do not build singular product SKU's at a time. If it's not in stock, it will get queued into the next batch build, which usually resets roughly every 30 days. In most cases, we actually have product in stock, product currently being built, or product at powder coat. 

Backwoods manufactured products have some of the shortest lead times in the industry. We think 10+ week lead times are simply unacceptable. To cut to the chase, we're a large scale production company, which means we use only the latest and greatest technology in tooling, lasers, brake presses, folders, and even robotics. On top of our tooling capabilities, we also have a crew of some of the best metal craftsmen in the business, all with years of experience. It's these reasons that give us a unique edge on small lead times and even allow us to have product in stock.

We have a feature built into our website that shows live inventory for our products. If a product says "In stock", then we currently have that product. If a product says "Re-stocking soon", then it means exactly that – a batch build is on it's way or queued up. 

We also have a way for you to be notified once product is back in stock. Just click the Nofity me button on the product page and enter your contact info and we'll send you a message once it's back. You can always still place your order anyway.

It does not. You will need an aftermarket skid plate system to attach our connector. It works with most aftermarket skid plate systems, but not all.

Nope. Only hause style fairleads will fit with our bumper. They do work on Tacoma bumpers, however.

We offer 5% off for military and first responders. During the checkout process, you will see a prompt asking if you quality. We also have periodic sales throughout the year on some holidays and physically at expos and shows. We also offer discounts and special updates for subscribing to our marketing SMS and Email notifications (pop up on home page).

In most cases, awnings should be compatible with our roof rack. Since our side plates and extrusions mount flush together, this creates a perfect 90 degree edge to accomodate most L shaped brackets that come standard with awnings. For 270 degree awnings, some special brackets may be required. We do sell our own awning brackets that work really well with our roof rack. The mounting interface is slotted and made to accomodate most 180 degree awnings.

There are several ways you can mount your accessories to our DRIFTR rack. Our extrusions are triple slotted, meaning there's 3 T-nut channels per extrusion. Our T-nuts roll or slide into each slot on the extrusion wherever you want and they provide an anchor for a 1/4-20 bolt. You can insert our T-nuts into the extrusion by rolling and slightly tapping them into the channel or you can remove one side of the extrusion and slide them into the channel.

Additionally, we have Deck Accessory Panels that allow you to mount gear even quicker and easier. These deck panels are compatible with E-Track, L-Track, 3/8 carriage bolts, 1/4 carriage bolts, and have generic oval shaped slots to fit ratchet straps and bungee hooks. These panels mount directly to your roof rack extrusions with T-nuts and give you the ability to fully or partially deck your rack so you can walk or stand on it. It also gives you much more surface area for mounting gear.
