Future 4xGuard Products

Though our website covers some of what is going on relative to new products, I thought I might take this opportunity to provide a brief update.

The Matrix. This product will be a modular, bolt-on brushguard that can be built-up by the customer to include a receiver for up to a 9,000 pound portable winch, a mount for off-road lighting, and additional front-end protection; "D" shackles that are frame mounted will be standard as part of the basic configuration. We are on our second design and a second prototype will some be ready for fitting and testing.

Swaybar Disconnects. We have fortunately been able to use a set of custom JKS swaybar disconnects and our testing has confirmed that the vehicle performs much better off-road with the swaybar disconnected. As JKS has indicated they will not be making this accessory for the WK/XK, we have completed an entirely different style/design and the parts will soon be fabricated into a prototype set. They will be tested this Spring.

Tail Guard HC. This product would complement our Rear Guard HC and provide corner protection around the lower perimeter of the rear quarter panel, which has been found to be very prone to damage during severe off-roading. Design is ongoing.

Rear Differential Skid. The rear driveshaft has been found to be vulnerable to damage in severe off-road situations, especially vehicles with the Superlift suspension kit. In fact it was this damage that caused the Grand Cherokee to not be awarded the Four Wheeler of the Year in 2005. A skid plate has been designed to protect the rear differential and rear driveshaft,; a prototype is planned for testing this Spring.

As indicated earlier we welcome suggestions for now products--just send us an email or give us a call.
