It’s been a phenomenal start to 2026 for Tip Of The Spear Upfitters! We are VERY humbled for the continued support of our local agencies, their families and their friends along the way. We will always put a valued relationship before a monetary invoice! A sincere thank you from our entire staff for the opportunity to serve you!

So what’s new for 2026?

Big… big… changes! Relax, we will always be locally owned and family operated with our sole intention to serve our customer! But, that doesn’t mean we can’t move! That’s right, we are moving, moving into a bigger location on the same property we currently reside on. I told you we weren’t moving far! The move will not take place until February 2026! That should give everyone more than ample time to set your GPS 30 yards to the north of our current location!

So what else is new for 2026?

We are expanding our vehicle packages for public safety upfitting. This will greatly assist agencies by providing them with upfront pricing on any vehicle currently in their fleet requiring product updating or adding new vehicles to their existing fleet!

We are expanding our 3D printing service for those that require custom molds for just about anything the mind can imagine!

We are expanding our window tinting, graphics and aftermarket accessories line up, so our customers can have a one stop shop experience!

Last but not least, we will be growing our automotive detailing services by adding our newest line of ceramic coatings for automotive paint protection!

With all of this said, it was inevitable that we needed more talented help with the mindset that customer service is TOP notch! We are currently looking to add to our team! If you or someone you know may have the ability to pass our “exceed the customers expectations test”, feel free to send them our way!

We are truly looking forward to serving you in 2026!
