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.

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.

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.

Olympic Safari Door Mirrors


The way a Jeep is made means that the original mirror is secured to the hard doors of the Jeep.  This means that when you decide to take the doors off of the Jeep you will also be taking the mirrors off.  It is illegal in all 50 states to drive with no mirrors.  You can save yourself the aggravation of getting stopped and ticketed for much less than what you would end up paying for the fine. 

The Safari mirrors that are made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products give you an easy solution for this problem.  These Safari mirrors bolt right into the door hinges that are already there.  Alternatively, you can bolt them into the positions for mounting on your Safari doors that are also made by Olympic 4 x 4 Products.  These mirrors have arms that are clean and streamlined with hardware for fastening them just below and above the threaded shaft so that you get an installation that is solid as well as vibration that is minimal.  Now, with these Safari mirrors made by Olympic 4 x 4 you can enjoy the feel of driving with no doors while not having to worry about that police car sitting up there on the hill.

Installing Them

Once you take your doors off of the Jeep simply the nut first and then put the split washer onto the threaded part of the arm of the mirror.  Now just slide it into the pivot of the door hinge if you will be driving completely without doors.  If you are using the Safari doors made by Olympic 4 x 4 then slide it straight into the tube that you will find on the side of the door.  Now just put the washer onto the end that is threaded and tighten the nut.  The arm will be secured into position once you have tightened both the nut on the bottom and the nut on the top. 

There is not any need for any sort of permanent hardware.  This mirror can be put on and taken off as needed. 

Features at a Glance

·         These mirrors are completely made in the USA.  In fact, this is the only Safari mirror that is made from start to finish right in California. 

·         Slips easily into the factory installed windshield hinge that is located on the pivot of the door

·         Can also be mounted with ease on the Safari doors that Olympic 4 x 4 makes

Olympic Double Nerf Bars


When you are talking about Nerf bars do you know what the difference is between them and running boards?  They both give you a secure area to step on when entering and exiting a vehicle.  Does that mean that they are all the same?  Not a chance.  They might be similar but they do have a few notable differences.    

The major difference between the two is right in the area where you step.  A running board will have a pad that you step on.  This pad will go from one end of the running board to the other end.  This means that you and anyone who rides with you will always be sure to have footing that is secure.  Nerf bars have padded step areas too.  The difference is that with a Nerf bar the padded area will only be where the doors are on your vehicle.

There are many different styles and types of Nerf bars and running boards that you can choose from.  This should depend on what your needs are as well as what your preferences are.  If you happen to be looking for a Nerf bar for a truck, SUV or Jeep then you might want to look at the ones that go from the front wheel to the rear wheel.  For trucks this is especially helpful as they will also serve to give you easier access to the bed of your truck.  There are also oval Nerf bars.  This type of Nerf bar will give you a wider area to step on.

In addition to Nerf bars and running boards, there are also truck steps.  These differ from the others in that they are shorter.  With a truck step you will get a step area that is the optimal width without the appearance of your rig being altered.

Double Nerf Bars

Now, for those who like Nerf bars there are the double Nerf bars brought to you by Olympic 4 x 4.  These bars come to you with 2 lateral bars that have vertical stanchions between them to give them additional strength.  These bars can easily reverse from the down position to the up position simply by taking out a security bolt and sliding it right off the system used for mounting.  You can use the bars in the up position for times when you are off road.  The down position can easily be used like it is a step for you to use when getting in or out of your Jeep. 

These Nerf bars are made from steel tubing that has an extremely heavy wall and measures an inch and a half in diameter.  It will serve as a protector for your Jeep from obstacles.  You can bolt this bar on easily without even needing to drill any holes!
