Welcome to the 5280 Offroad Tribe - Where Your Trail Story Begins

Updated: Jun 25

The mountains don't care about your Instagram following. The trails don't care about your modification budget. But they sure as hell respect preparation, competence, and the kind of grit that's earned through sweat equity! That's what separates 5280 Offroad from every other brand trying to sell you the "off-road lifestyle."


Look, we absolutely sell gear and merchandise. Our apparel is designed right here in Colorado. Every brand we carry or promote has been tested in our own rigs on Colorado's toughest trails. When you wear our logo or use the gear we recommend, you're not just buying into a brand—you're investing in education and products that have proven themselves where it matters most.

Welcome to the 5280 Offroad Tribe

More Than Gear - It's About Who You Become

Colorado's backcountry is littered with the expensive lessons of off-roaders who thought the right gear was enough. We've all seen them—stuck in the mud or tried to "send it" with all the latest modifications, calling for recovery because they never learned that competence can't be purchased.


At 5280 Offroad, we believe grit is earned, not given. Our gear supports your skills; it doesn't replace them.

What We're Actually Building Here

This isn't about selling you gear and calling it a day. We're building something different in Colorado's off-road community:

  • Real Education That Keeps You Moving Forward Our workshops aren't YouTube University with better lighting. When you complete our training, you'll have the technical knowledge and hands-on experience to enable you to get out there and start exploring or to handle situations that send other drivers reaching for their phones to call for rescue.

  • Gear That Works When Everything Else Doesn't Our apparel is designed specifically for Colorado's off-road conditions—tested at elevation, proven in mud and rock, created by wheelers for wheelers. Beyond our own designs, we only carry brands that have earned their place in our own rigs through real-world performance.

  • A Tribe That Elevates Everyone Join our community or show up to one of our brewery meetups, and you'll find off-roaders who share knowledge freely, celebrate each other's successes, and understand that the best trail stories come from preparation meeting opportunity.

Why Choose 5280 Offroad

  • We're Born at Elevation Located in the Denver area and tested throughout Colorado's high country, we understand the unique challenges of wheeling at altitude. Weather changes fast, trails close unexpectedly, and what works at sea level might leave you stranded at 12,000 feet.

  • We're Forged in Real Conditions Our team runs trails that have humbled wheelers and teaches techniques that work when the conditions get ugly. We've been stuck, unstuck, and recovered from situations that would make great campfire stories if they weren't so expensive.

  • We Believe Grit is Earned Whether you're taking your first off-road driving workshop or joining us for an advanced session, you'll leave with skills that make you the person others want in their convoy—not only because of your gear, but because of your competence.

Ready to Earn Your Place in Colorado's Off-Road Tribe?

  • Start with our Intro to 4 Wheel Driving Workshop - five hour course where you'll master everything from vehicle prep to emergency protocols. It's where the pavement princesses become trail machines and weekend warriors become the wheelers others want to follow.

  • Join us at our meetups where trail knowledge and stories flow as freely as the local craft beer, and every conversation might lead to your next adventure partner.

  • Follow our trail reports and educational content - because the difference between epic adventures and expensive lessons often comes down to preparation and knowledge.

This Is Your Invitation

The trails are waiting. Colorado's backcountry doesn't care if you're ready—but your bank account, your relationships, and your safety sure do. At 5280 Offroad, we don't just welcome new tribe members—we prepare them. Because in our experience, the most legendary adventures happen when preparation meets opportunity, and competence creates confidence.


Ready to trade pavement for purpose? Your trail story starts with your first workshop, your first piece of properly tested gear, or your first conversation with someone who understands that the best way to explore Colorado's backcountry is with the skills to handle whatever it throws at you.


Welcome to the 5280 Offroad tribe - where grit is earned through competence, not luck.

Born at elevation. Forged in mud. Grit is earned.
