the beginning, our primary focus was on providing auto dealerships with the very latest in automotive accessories at competitive prices and with the highest quality installation. Once we had earned the dealerships’ respect and confidence, they requested that we begin to serve their special customers directly. So we slowly got into the retail business. Today nearly half our business is with retail customers. We welcome each and every one of you. You will receive the same quality products and courteous quality service as the car dealers. That is a promise!

The Rat started in 1975 when the head Rat and lifelong 4×4 aficionado Mike Furrier decided he wanted more out of life than just selling tires in the family tire business. The first load of 4×4 products actually came from Dick Cepek who was a friend of the Furrier family from the tire business. Desert Rat Off Road Centers began in the showroom of one of the Jack Furrier Tire and Auto stores in Tucson, the quickly expanding business then moved into larger facilities to accommodate the mail-order business.
