All about us
Meet the Parents
Dane & Barbara Quittner
All about the outdoors. That sums us up in a heartbeat. We launched Geared4Utah from the basic need to get outside. We love adventuring, and as we started outfitting our family we realized that great equipment was out there but it came with a high price tag. We have always wanted our children to have the things that make fun - fun. And what better way to enjoy the toys than to share the benefit with others. We have spent years finding out what works and what doesn’t. How to pack it up and pack in in.
All About Us
Meet The Family
Get to know the family that plays together. We encourage learning to drive off road at an early age to prepare our young drivers for the road at age 16. If they can handle the stress of crawling through “Car Wash” or climbing “Hell’s Gate” they will make it on the road. Always Training, Dane will be more than happy to show you the right line or walk you up some “Bucket List” obstacles. We love our time on the trail and if you ever get the chance join us, please do! Without the support of all our family and friends we would never have the fun or adventures that make us who we are.
Ryan (Junior)
Ryan keeps busy between his commitment to the Army and his full-time gig as with Tooele County, we always look forward to spending some time with him and his Chloe (not his sister). We are so proud of his service.
Auntie BBQ
The better half of the parents, Barbara brings out the best in all of us. It is her drive and dedication that allows us to have so many cool things. And the fact she let’s us share, is even better!
Chloe Jane
The artist of the bunch and the last word on following the rules….she is looking to enjoy all things this summer. You may catch her paddleboarding at the lake or zipping off to Fizz in the Chloe Cube. She brings sunshine with her wherever she goes.
Dads Ride
2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
Finally replaced the OG JKUR with this beauty that we could not pass up. While not built up from the ground up like our Silver Gladiator, when we got this home it was immediately under the knife for some much needed adjustments. We upgraded to Synergy steering components, added a sector shaft support, steering geometry correction kit, control arm drop brackets to correct the caster on the front end and soften the bumps along the way, reworked the steering geometry to account for the 4.5” lift. 5.38 gearing rolling on 40” (don’t spot me 40s) Patagonia MTs. The Falcon 3.0 Shocks on each corner are up for further evaluation.
While keeping with the tradition of always having cold sodas in the fridge we flush mounted a couple of ridgid solar panels in the mid height rack along with a 200 ahr battery for power. As time permits we will be adding the air compressor, air bags, fridge slide, and everything else floating around.
The OG JKUR
2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
The longest kept Jeep in the family we purchased this one new off the lot in ‘08. The children will not let us get rid of her, Still building memories and the fun one to drive.
Without any modification this was truly the most capable Jeep I had ever built. Then we built it.
We kept a mild lift on the JK while shoving 37” tire under the original XRC corner guards. Running a factory 44 up front with a G2 44 rear. The factory lockers have been flawless while turning the 5.38 gears in the pumpkins.
With many trips and upgrades along the way this one ”just works” so we spend the time on the kids builds and keep them going.
all about us
Our Days Off
We try spend as much time outdoors as possible, but where ever we are we like to be together.
Sometimes by Two
Wheels that is, with the grandkids wanting to get out on dirt bikes, you may still find us in the dirt just going a bit faster and falling down more!
City Adventures
We don’t alway play in the dirt. We took a break for some hotel living and wishing for some sunshine.
We're here for the Views.
See some of the amazing veeiws we capture on our adventures. This one, breathtaking views of the temple of the Sun and Moon. Alway a favorite.
