Olympic 4x4 Products Sierra Rack


The Sierra Rack that is made by Olympic 4x4 Products is meant for use with the Jeep Wrangler CJ, YJ, TJ, JK and the Jeep Cherokee XJ.  It will fit model years from 1976 to 2015. 

The Sierra Rack has a unique mounting system that doesn’t require any drilling for installation.  All that you have to do is position the Sierra Rack for cargo in the middle of your spare tire as opposed to putting it above the spare so that you don’t have to compromise on the visibility that you have above the spare.

Once you are ready to install the Sierra Rack, all that you need to do is take your spare tire off and  put the mounting plate that Olympic 4x4 Products has already pre-drilled over your lug bolts.  Now just put your spare tire back into place and you will be ready to hit the trails.  The tube that you will mount the Sierra Rack on goes through the middle of your spare tire so that is can accept the telescoping tube which is what the Sierra Rack actually slides onto.  This system allows for you to use the telescoping system to take the rack off when you are not going to be using it.

So, what is the Sierra Rack anyway?  This is a cargo rack that is made for Jeeps and it goes directly behind your spare tire.  This is the ideal way to carry water, spare fuel, a camp stove, camping gear or even a cooler.  Since the Sierra Rack is installed behind the spare as opposed to above it, you do not lose any of the visibility through your rear window.  When you are not using the basket/rack, you can remove it easily and then just put it back on when you need it again. 

Some people do actually just stick the Sierra Rack onto their rear bumper.  However, this means that you will need to compromise on the weight capacity of the rack.  When it is on the bumper, it only has a capacity to hold 50 pounds.  When it is installed properly through your spare tire the weight capacity is 250 pounds when you are traveling on the highway and when you are out on the trails the weight capacity is 125 pounds.

The ability of the Quick N Easy Step to be removed easily is a feature that really comes in handy when you are out on the trails.  Just reach down and then lift it up and as you do this, it will automatically release its position in order to allow for you to put inside your Jeep.  This keeps it safe from terrain that could cause it damage. 

If you have a Jeep that has been raised and you have added a larger wheel and tire package to it, this is the ideal accessory.  The Quick N Easy Step comes in your choice of finishes: pink stuff or textured black powder coat or raw unpainted steel.  It is a product that is sold as a single unit, so when you purchase you need to remember to purchase 2 of them.

Olympic 4 x 4 Products Maxi Light Bar


Any off road warrior knows that the lights that come stock on any vehicle are just not enough when you are out on the trail and the sun goes down.  There are all kinds of solutions for this issue and quite a few different manufacturers make them.  Today though, we are going to focus on the Maxi Light Bar that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products. 

This offering from the labs at Olympic 4 x 4 Products is the best one on the market today and it is even easy to mount!  There is no need for any sort of drilling, cutting or welding necessary to complete the installation properly.  The Maxi Light Bar that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products bolts right to the hinge on your windshield using the included bolts.  This light bar can also be removed in a hurry for those times when it is not necessary simply by removing a pair of bolts on each side of it.  The Maxi Light Bar has the capability to hold as many as 4 lights.  Please note that the lights are not included with the Maxi Light Bar.

The Maxi Light Bar that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products can be used on the Wrangler TJ.  The geniuses at Olympic have designed this light bar to be able to accommodate 4 lights while it simultaneously protects the frame of your windshield because of the fact that the support arms on each side of the bar extend out beyond the edge of the windshield frame.  If you have a tight squeeze in your garage, the Maxi Light Bar will also rotate down towards your windshield so that there will not be any sort of clearance issues. 

One thing to note about the Maxi Light Bar while it is rotated down is that it acts as a buffer to the noise from the wind while you are out on the highway.  Another interesting thing to note about when it is in this position is that it can double as a sort of sun visor.

Olympic 4 x 4 Products Heavy Duty Tire Mount


The Heavy Duty Tire Mount that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products is the ideal solution for those of you who do not want to lose your spare tire out on the trail.  Why would you lose it?  The spare tire mount that is put on a Jeep by the factory is made of what is called pot metal and it is actually quite fragile.  If you accidentally back into a tree, rock or anything else this factory installed spare tire mount can easily break and your spare tire will hit the ground and you may not realize it until it is too late. 

In comparison, the Heavy Duty Tire Mount that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products is made from plate steel that has a thickness of ¼ of an inch.  The Heavy Duty Tire Mount also has the capability of handling spare tires that are larger than the factory installed tires which is also a good thing since most Jeepers will upgrade to wheels and tires that are larger for off road adventures.  The Heavy Duty Tire Mount is also compatible with aftermarket bumpers as well as your factory installed bumper.  

Not only will the Heavy Duty Tire Mount outlast your factory installed tire mount, it will also outperform it.  Aside from the steel construction, this product has been given a powder coat in Rubicon Black.  This is not just to make the Heavy Duty Tire Mount look good though; it is also to give it more resistance to rust and corrosion.  It is important to note that when you add this Heavy Duty Tire Mount to your rig, you will be adding 19 pounds to it.  Unlike the factory installed tire mount, this one has been designed specifically so that it will not crack or break when it gets shocked or bumped.

Olympic 4 x 4 Products Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch


This unique bumper that is made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products has a unique gull wing shape.  It is 65 inches long and the design increases the amount of tire clearance that you have for the front tires.  The Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch is also – as the name implies – equipped with a 2 inch receiver hitch.  This bumper is easy to install and simply bolts on to the factory drilled holes on the frame of your Jeep.

The Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch has a unique design, and it has to do with both the shape of the bumper and the fact that it is a front bumper that is equipped with a 2 inch receiver hitch.  This is a feature that is excellent and can have multiple purposes.  It gives you the ideal solution for getting yourself or a fellow off road warrior out of tight, sticky situations.  All that you have to do is to put a recovery strap into the receiver and then secure this strap in place with what is known as a clevis pin and then pull. 

It is also great for when you need some emergency towing back to the camp or even for recovering your Jeep from where ever it happens to be stuck.  This is also an innovative solution for recovering your boat trailer from in the water.  You will be able to put the trailer right on the front of the Jeep and then guide it while you drive.  Don’t even think about doing this on the highway though. 

The Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch is easy to install and doesn’t require any sort of drilling, cutting or welding.  You simply have to bolt it on to the factory drilled mounting holes that are located on the frame of your Jeep. 

Olympic 4 x 4 has also incorporated an energy absorbing quality into the Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch.  This is definitely a bumper that has been built to be able to take a beating while protecting both the body and the frame of your Jeep.  The design of the Front Rock Bumper with Receiver Hitch allows for it to deflect the pressure of any impact from your Jeep’s frame.

Olympic 4 x 4 Products Entry Guards


Jeep Entry Guards were first introduced back in the 1970’s by a company called Olympic 4 x 4 Products.  These Jeep Entry Guards are meant to protect the door sill in your Jeep.  This is an area that can become dirty, scratched, scuffed and dinged because most of the time, this is where you put your foot when you are getting in or out of your Jeep.  It is something that we don’t really ever think about…but Olympic 4 x 4 Products did. 

The Jeep Entry Guards that are made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products have been engineered in such a way that they are incredibly easy to install and there is never a need for any sort of cutting, welding or drilling to complete the installation.  Do you remember when you were a kid and made model cars?  Think of the decals for those cars.  Most of the time you would just stick them on in the appropriate places, right?  Pretty easy, wasn’t it?  The Jeep Entry Guards are sort of like those decals.  See, Olympic 4 x 4 Products includes the same type of double sided adhesive that is used by NASA with these Jeep Entry Guards.  Stick one side of the adhesive to the Jeep Entry Guards and then peel the protective backing off of the other side and attach it to your door sill and you are done and ready to hit the trails again.

These stainless Jeep Entry Guards have a satin type of finish which will hide scratches while it also works to reduce the amount of glare that you get.  You might opt for the Rubicon Black Jeep Entry Guards though.  These have a finish that is textured which also works to hide the scratches.  The black ones will match most of the factory finishes too.

Olympic 4 x 4 Products Defender Rear Bumper


Olympic 4 x 4 Products has the largest selection of Jeep bumpers that are all made right here in the USA.  They make these bumpers for the Jeep Cherokee XJ as well as all of the Wrangler models.  Their original Jeep bumper was called the Maxi and they still make this bumper from tubular steel that has a diameter of a full 3 inches.  Olympic 4 x 4 Products also makes bumpers in the All Terrain or A/T category.  These bumpers have been designed with rock crawler in mind.  For those who love to conquer the Moab and the Rubicon, there are the bumpers in the series known as Hard Core 500.  We can’t forget the Rock winch models either.  These bumpers have an integrated super structure that is meant to be used as a winch mounting plate.  There are also new tubular bumpers for the Wrangler that are called Diamond Back, Cobra and Boa.  The designs for these bumpers are ones that have never been seen before.  Olympic 4 x 4 Products also makes a line of front end guards that can be installed either with the Rock bumper or with your factory installed bumper.

We aren’t here today to talk about all of those bumpers though.  Today is for the Defender Rear Bumper.  This bumper is incredibly easy to install and it will not even interfere with your factory installed receiver hitch of 2 inches.  The design of the Defender Rear Bumper is one that has been made to offer protection to the rockers on the rear corners because the ends of the Defender Rear Bumper wrap around the rear corner panels.  If you happen to have a Jeep that was not equipped with a receiver hitch when you bought it, Olympic makes those too and they will go perfectly with the Defender Rear Bumper.  This bumper has been crafted from steel tubing that measures 2 inches in diameter and is heavy wall.  It will give you protection for your Jeep from any type of obstacle that you might come into contact with either on the trails or on the highway.  It has been given a powder coat finish that will give it resistance to rusting and corrosion.
