Trail Tested: How Autofab Parts Hold Up in Real Off-Road Adventures
There’s one thing every off-roader knows: you can’t fake strength on the trail. Whether you’re rock crawling in Moab, desert running in Baja, or climbing fire roads in the backwoods, your rig takes a beating. That’s why off-roaders rely on Autofab’s fabrication parts—they’re not just built to fit, they’re built to survive.

“Installed and Headed to the Hills”—Stories from the Trail
Here’s how Autofab holds up when the trail does its worst:
🟦 Early Bronco in the Sierra Nevadas
“We dropped in Autofab’s EB302-V8 motor mounts and shock towers before hitting a 3-day trail in the Sierras. Flex, rocks, deep water—we pushed it. Everything stayed tight. Zero issues.”
– Jeremy, CA
🟩 Ranger Trail Rig in Utah
“Installed Autofab’s V8 swap mounts and coil buckets. After 5 days in Utah, including some brutal sandstone ledges, I checked for movement or cracks—none. Still solid.”
– Marcus, UT
🟥 F-Series Diesel Conversion in Arizona
“We went Cummins with our F-250. Autofab’s diesel motor mounts made the swap way easier—and they’re holding up to serious trail torque.”
– Lou, AZ
