"Smittybilt was founded over 44 years ago by people with a simple but clear vision: develop products that work, last, and look great!

Smittybilt continues to engineer and manufacture products with the same philosophy of its founders. Smittybilt's innovative products are designed from consumer demand, engineered and manufactured in our state of the art 207,000 square foot facility in Corona, California.

The stylish look, quality, value and legendary fit of Smittybilt products has consistently ranked high with customers, resulting in the expansion of the company to a national level. In 1999 Smittybilt was acquired by Lund International, a diverse company developing and manufacturing a wide range of accessories for cars, sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks and heavy over-the-road vehicles.

Smittybilt offers the broadest line of tubular products in the industry. Applications are constantly updated for new vehicles while applications for classic and older vehicles still remain. The newest products include the Outland™ series of products and SureStep™ side bars. The Outland Sport Bumper Guard provides the same great style, fit, and strength, but in a more compact design. New for 2001 is the Sure-Step Box Step, a new extension to the Sure-Step product line. The Box Step allows easier access to the cargo area and works with new or existing modular Sure-Steps.

Smittybilt's dedication to quality and high-tech engineering are unmatched in the industry."
