Warranty – Terms and Conditions

under normal use and service for the period of 12 months from the original consumer date of
purchase (proof of purchase is required).
Normal use does not include EXTREME OFF ROAD driving. eg. rock crawling.
We recommend removing the stone stomper mesh in thick muddy conditions. Clay like
mud may stick to the mesh and weigh it down which can result in dragging.
We also strongly recommend making the following minor exhaust tip modification to
redirect exhaust gases towards the ground in order to prevent damage to the canvas flaps or
mesh (see picture below).

will not warrant any damage caused from the exhaust.
