ABOUT US
Welcome to Bullhide 4x4, your one-stop-shop for 4x4 parts, service, and accessories in Fort Collins.
We started our business in Fort Collins in 1996 with, you guessed it - Bullhide 4x4 spray molded liners - and a whole bunch of them at that! Over 16,000 of your trucks in northern Colorado have been sprayed with the Bullhide liner.
We’re lucky enough to say that from your support, we are now able to provide the Fort Collins community with a service facility and complete line of car, truck, and Jeep accessories and parts to customers that extend well beyond the 4x4 community.
-Scott and Susan Butters, Bullhide 4x4 Owners

OUR TEAM

Scott Butters
Owner
Job Experience: I have been working in the automotive industry for over 25 years. I am the owner of Bullhide 4x4 in Fort Collins along with my wife, Susan. You can find me at the Fort Collins shop daily, helping customers find the accessories they want or need.
Tell us more about you: I have two children, Trevor and Megan. Trevor works alongside me daily to learn the ropes and Megan is an elementary education major at the University of Wyoming. I enjoy hunting, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, fishing, NASCAR, and traveling to those “fun in the sun” spots around the world.

Ray Schleppy
Store Manager
Job Experience: I have worked in the 4WD industry since 1983. I began my career in Denver and then came to Fort Collins in 1990. I have been with Bullhide 4x4 since 2003 when the store started with truck covers and then expanded into auto accessories and the new location was found. I have assisted with the change from the bed liner business to what it is today.
Tell us more about you: I have been married to my wife Wendy for 31 years and have two children. I enjoy working on and around automobiles. I learned the trade from my father at age 5 and never left it! I also enjoy 4-wheeling, hunting, fishing and most of all, spending time with my family.
