Not Built to Blend In: Custom Side-by-Side Builder Allen Weldon

When it comes to custom side-by-side builds, originality matters. Riders want machines that don’t just perform in the mud—but stand out everywhere they go. That’s exactly what Allen Weldon, owner of A1 AutoPlex LLC in Lake Park, Georgia, delivers.

Known for one-off UTV and side-by-side builds, Allen has earned respect in the off-road community for creating machines that blend performance, style, and individuality. From full custom builds to sourcing lift kits, tires, wheels, and accessories, A1 AutoPlex LLC is a trusted resource for serious riders.

A Passion for Off-Road Builds That Started Young

Allen’s journey into the off-road and mudding world began at a young age. What started as childhood curiosity quickly turned into hands-on experience with machines, modifications, and terrain-specific setups.

That passion grew into a business focused on helping riders bring their vision to life—whether that means building from the ground up or upgrading an existing side-by-side for mud parks and trail riding.

One-Off Side-by-Side Builds That Set Riders Apart

What makes Allen Weldon unique in the mudding community is his commitment to custom, one-of-a-kind builds. Allen doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter setups. Each build is designed to reflect the rider’s personality and riding style while being functional in real-world mud conditions.

“We like to think our builds are unique and one-off.”
— Allen Weldon, Owner of A1 AutoPlex LLC

From stance and suspension to wheels and tires, every detail is selected with intention—resulting in side-by-sides that turn heads and perform when it matters most.

Lift Kits, Tires, Wheels & Off-Road Accessories

In addition to custom builds, Allen is a go-to source for essential off-road components, including:

  • Side-by-side lift kits

  • UTV tires and wheels

  • Off-road accessories

  • Performance-focused upgrades for mud riding

Allen works directly with riders to ensure their setups match their terrain, riding goals, and experience level—eliminating guesswork and costly mistakes.

Favorite Mud Riding Spot: Boggs & Boulders

When it comes to riding, Allen’s top choice is Boggs & Boulders Off-Road Park.

Known for its challenging terrain and diverse riding conditions, Boggs & Boulders is a true test for both riders and machines. It’s also the perfect environment to showcase the durability and performance of a well-built side-by-side.

Advice for New and Experienced Riders

Allen keeps his advice simple and universal for anyone in the off-road community:

Be safe. Have fun.

It’s a reminder that no matter how extreme the build or the terrain, enjoying the ride and riding responsibly always comes first.

What’s Coming This Riding Season

Allen is looking forward to some of the biggest off-road events of the year, including:

  • Mud Bash at Busco Beach

  • Anything at Boggs

These events bring together top builders, riders, and machines—making them the ideal stage for showcasing unique side-by-side builds.
