GateKeeper Off-Road started in a two-car garage in Tracy, California — after we walked away from our 9–5 jobs with nothing but a plasma table, a homemade press brake, a borrowed welder, and a drive to build parts that delivered style, function, and fit.

We taught ourselves fabrication, CAD, and machine programming from the ground up. Within our first year, we opened our first shop, building custom vehicles and developing products for our signature Black Diamond TJ build.

It was on that TJ where we mounted lights to the steering knuckles — a simple idea that evolved into what would become our patented Knuckle Pod Steerable Fog Light Mounts, the product we’re known for today.

As we grew, so did our capabilities. After multiple shop moves and years of reinvesting into better equipment, we now manufacture our products in-house using CNC machinery at our facility in San Andreas, California — right here in our home county.

Today, our mission remains the same:

Build innovative, useful, built-to-last products that look good — but work even better.

From bumpers and seat lowering brackets to continually expanding applications for our steerable fog light mounts, everything we design is driven by real-world experience and a commitment to doing it right.
