Granted I took a heavily scaled back&nbsp;hiatus in 2025 into 2026. During that time, I heard from a lot of people. Some expressing gratitude for being here for so long, and others getting more specific on how impactful Rugged Rocks has been over the years.&nbsp;It&#8217;s place in the market, and the things that are still needed, were all great feedback and things to consider for next steps. It really made me stop, look back in disbelief, that I had such an impact over all these years starting back in the mid 2000&#8217;s. I was just riding the wave of what was needed, always just focused on what was next. Teaching and filling in the gaps&nbsp;to make building these, often overlooked, vehicles easier. That&#8217;s really all I wanted to&nbsp;do here, was have a positive impact. It wasn&#8217;t to compete, but rather just solve problems. At some point along the way, for compounded reasons, I pulled my personality away from the brand and felt like my job was done as the newer vehicles had all the bases covered once I handled the initial gear and locker options release. Subsequent product launches seemed to have dwindling impact. Other brands have come and go, focusing on the second gen xterra and frontier suspension, titan swaps etc which is why my involvement in that space had historically been limited. Being that the landscape has shifted the last few years and due to the feedback I got over the last year&#8230; I&#8217;m reconsidering a number of previously discontinued and also unreleased products. Most importantly, I want to reconnect with the community in real life, and meet new Nissan 4&#215;4 owners on the trail. Afterall, this whole thing started as being just a kid in the community that saw a need and wanted to make a difference.&nbsp;<br>The new website is coming together as a lot was lost in the server crash last year, but overall, things are taking shape nicely. Rugged Routes is taking shape as well, and I look forward to wrapping up the optimized rebuild so I can focus on exciting and forward facing goals that I&#8217;m sure many people will be happy to see as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, There is a batch of motor mounts coming out of production, just waiting on powder coat, which&nbsp;should start shipping late next week. It is a small batch but I do plan on keeping a small qty on the shelf for these older trucks with the 3.0 &amp; 3.3 v6. (Pathfinder\/&nbsp;Hardbody,&nbsp;Xterra \/&nbsp;Frontier )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Order yours now or for more info, visit:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=Motor+Mount\">https:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=Motor+Mount<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please share on social media.<br>More to come, Thank you<br>-Steven<br>Founder &amp; President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;This is year 20.
