Adam Fitza, the technical heartbeat of FRD, isn’t just a driver; he’s a highly respected builder, wrencher, and racer who knows exactly what it takes to keep a truck alive in a brutal rally race. Balancing flat-out speed with extreme mechanical preservation, Adam’s expertise as technical lead and wheelman is an incredible asset.
Fitza Racing Development engineers its vehicles to be a lifeline in the desert – meticulously packing crucial spares, tools, and top-of-the-line recovery gear to ensure they never stay stranded. When you are flying through the desert and suddenly have to finesse the truck through a washed-out ravine, you need reflexes you can trust and total confidence in your equipment.
That’s exactly why Superwinch is proud to be in the trenches, collaborating with FRD on one of their newest Ultra4 builds:
The Superwinch Advantage
Partnering with Fitz Racing Development is natural fit – we share Adam Fitza’s philosophy that absolute reliability is non-negotiable.
The FRD Team puts their trust in the unyielding pulling power of Superwinch, mounted right up front. Our winches are built for the harshest environments on earth:
- IP68 Waterproof – Fully sealed drum, gearbox, and contactor (aka solenoid) for protection from the elements
- Rugged Steel Winch Drum – Steel won’t crack or shatter like aluminum
- Ready For Extreme Duty – Tested in temps from -40 to 125 F; Integrated drum and controller lighting for after dark recoveries
- Easy-To-Use Clutch Handle – Big and easy to operate, with a no-bind design
- True Capacity Rating – Every winch meets or exceeds the pulling power rating
- No-Bind Design Clutch – Won’t bind and break like cheaper clutch designs
Forged in the Desert
Congrats to FTD for landing in the Top 10 in their first Ultra4 USA race in this new truck. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with Adam Fitza and the entire Fitz Racing Development team – these crews are our real-world proving grounds. The brutal feedback from these desert courses ensures our winches remain the industry standard for durability and performance, and we can’t wait to kick up some more dust together!
