Who is TeraFlex PLUS?

TeraFlex PLUS is the latest evolutionary stage of a company that started life almost 50 years ago in 1959 as MEPCO, which was an acronym for Military Equipment Parts Company. MEPCO (MEPCO Jeep, MEPCO 4×4), was a parts supplier for Jeeps® and other military vehicles for many years, with the focus being primarily Jeeps. MEPCO’s ability to access hard-to-find parts, and the knowledge contained behind the parts counter earned them a reputation that was second to none. MEPCO charged along as the resident Jeep parts expert along the Wasatch Front for many years. To add to the package, they added a full installation shop to provide product installation in the late 1990’s.

In mid 1996, with the introduction of the 1997 Jeep TJ Wrangler, and its smooth-riding 5-link coil suspension, MEPCO saw an opportunity to design a suspension that would meet the needs of the first-ever coil sprung Wrangler. So, with years of MEPCO expertise behind it, the company Tera Manufacturing, Inc. was created. Tera Manufacturing began producing its first TJ suspension kits under the “TeraFlex” brand name. TeraFlex quickly became an innovator in the industry, being the first to provide a production lift kit with flexible arms for the TJ’s. They were the first to have a slip-yoke eliminator for the NP231 transfer case, and TeraFlex was also the first (and now only) company to produce a 4:1 low-range kit. The TeraLow 4:1 was even used as a platform for Jeep engineers to help design the NP241-OR case that is used in 2003 and newer Wrangler Rubicon editions.

The end of 2003 brought more changes to MEPCO with the addition of their All-Terrain Service Center, which expanded their service knowledge and abilities. MEPCO gained the capability and equipment to perform more services on more vehicles, and were also able to expand their custom fabrication department.

MEPCO’s focus has changed dramatically over the years. With the scarcity of military Jeeps and 4×4’s, the dwindling supply of parts for them, and the addition of a sister company that built mainly Wrangler components, MEPCO’s concentration was shifted towards suspension systems and off-road accessories for late model Jeeps. With this shift in business, a face-change was in order to communicate to the public their new dedication to be the source for all late model Jeep vehicles.

In September 2005, MEPCO’s name was updated to TeraFlex PLUS – Jeep Adventure Outfitters, to reflect this new mission. Along with the name change, a more refined list of parts and services is offered to cater to the growing crowd of late model Jeep owners.

We at TeraFlex PLUS continue to serve the off-road community much the same way as MEPCO did in its history, as the resident Jeep experts along the Wasatch Front. TeraFlex PLUS continues to grow and expand and is proud to offer online sales on our website, in addition to our serving customers in our showroom and full-service shop. Our staff has grown and continues to have a reputation for up-to-date knowledge and skills. You can’t find a better source for Jeep aftermarket products. We are continually focusing our efforts in order to best serve the active off-road Jeep® market.
