I've been to their shop and it's fantastic!!!! Very easy to work with and are always happy to help. Great staff and awesome fabrication options.

Ralf and team just did some amazing work on my Defender. 2" lift, powder coated wheels, 35" tires, Sarek gen2 winch bumper with winch along with aux cooler replacement, and roof rack.

The others have described his shop well. They do meticulous work and as such do a lot of on vehicle customer work. That means they don't ship parts all across the county. They could but the installs would be significant work. It's not a bolt on bumper. It removes the 2 assist coolers and replaces with a single cooler relocated. That resolves the clearance issues with tires and frequent damage to those coolers. It is also important that so far as i know they work solely with aluminum. This is highly important for me as I bought a P300 on springs specifically for this build. That makes weight important to me both for an engine power and suspension that doesn't adjust aspect.

If you are solely price shopping, then they probably will not be your supplier of choice. If you are looking for a specific build with high quality light weight products then you can't go wrong with Sarek.

JP, I noticed you didn't go with rock sliders, or at least in the photos it's doesn't appear that you have them. Any reason for that decision? I was looking at the Sarek sliders for my 110. Love you build btw, hope to see it in person up in New England sometime.

curious to see/hear more about your custom exhaust - modified for off roading or performance/sound?

OP - their Instagram page is decent - I agree their website is not great - would be nice to see a catalog and prices for their armor

JP - bruh - your truck looks awesome

I don't have Instagram, the only place I have ever seen any pricing is through Lucky 8. I haven't called them yet but it really sounds like you need to go into their shop so maybe that's why they don't have much of a site or pricing. I love some of their stuff though.

Modified for off roading. Had a 2 inch sub frame lift installed and the muffler and exhaust were hanging just a little too low. Sarek put a new muffler on and tucked it up tight. A little louder but not much, has a great sound to it now.

cost. i maxed my budget with what i had done. I am putting on steel sliders as at least the weight will be low on the truck. I have Lucky8 sliders sitting in the garage so i can install over the holidays
