Sold - Thank you for the interest!
This adventure rig was creatively and carefully designed by a mechanical engineer and meticulously built by VMI Offroad. From the backcountry to the beach, you'll be ready for the night in 5 minutes. Find a rad sleep spot, open the back door, push the button up for the roof, and lay down on the comfortable full size bed. Or pull out the custom table and chairs that fit perfectly in the side box, hook up the propane firepit to the Manchester tank hookup, and enjoy some campfire beverages under the stars. The firepit and propex heater, combined with interior, sidebox, upper, lower, and flatbed lighting, you'll be comfortable and have easy living inside and out. From stealth beach parking lot camping to campground glamping to overland exploits, the rig is flexible enough so you're always ready for your best adventure.
Front and rear winch mounts and quick connects, White Knuckle offroad rock sliders, a 775 Fab production bumper, fully skid plated, Viair compressor and Pacbrake airbags with in-cab controls.
This truck was built for longevity and every type of experience. It can handle the most rugged roads and pack all your gear while you still have space to sleep. It was designed to carry surf boards, kiteboarding gear, camp kitchen, and bike gear, all while putting comfort first and ensuring nothing takes more than 2 steps to access or set up. We know from our own experiences, routes and plans change, weather can be unpredictable, and stuff happens. Having a fully appointed, reliable, gear organizing, rad looking adventure mobile will keep you out and exploring with a smile on your face.
Infamous around the PNW, you can get a preview of the truck on VMI Offroad:
