That feeling you get when you see another vehicle just like yours? Yeah, that will likely never happen again. Welcome to the world of custom, aftermarket vehicle modification, brought to you by Backwoods Adventure Mods. With a passion for off-roading, our team, led by chief designer and founder Evan House, design, manufacture and sell some of the most rugged yet stylish off-road accessories on the market today. An Arkansas company with an all-American story, Backwoods Adventure Mods products are as solid as our history.

Backwoods Bumpers was created in 2007 inside a shop in Evan House’s backyard in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Ten years later, with just four full-time employees, the company designed and made a complete line of accessories for most late-model trucks in addition to SUVs, Jeeps and vans. The products became especially popular with truck modification enthusiasts and overland sprinter van owners.

In 2017, Evan sold his company to Springdale-based Chandler Equipment Inc. to expand manufacturing capabilities for their line of quality off-road aftermarket steel & aluminum bumpers. Backwoods moved from its original location and into Chandler's 65,000 square foot production facility, which allowed for growth in new products, automation, and production quality.

CEO, Chris Chandler and the team rebranded the company to Backwoods Adventure Mods. Today, the company designs, fabricates and customizes bumpers and modifications for a wide variety of vehicles. Despite BAM's success and rapid growth, the Backwoods team holds fast to its roots. A DIY attitude and willingness to take creative leaps - inspired by that same ambition Evan harnessed to create his first custom bumper - our team is always pushing forward with new ideas and innovative products.
