The rigs
Two builds. Zero shortcuts.
These are our own vans, built nut to bolt in the shop and proven from Mt. Hood ski lots to the Utah desert. They are the portfolio and the R&D department.

A Ford E-Series box truck that started life bright yellow and came out the other side a matte graphite, four-season basecamp. Square walls meant real cabinetry, real counter space, and standing room everywhere. It is the build that convinced us box bodies are the most underrated platform in vanlife.
Induction cooktop, deep single-basin sink with a residential pull-down faucet, white cabinetry, and LED task lighting under the cabinets. Staged for dinner, not for photos.
A cushioned bench, a dinette with a wall-mounted swing table, and a wall-mounted TV for storm days. A control panel on the wall keeps every system one glance away.
Full matte graphite respray, four round LED pods on the cab-over, an 8-foot Iron Man 4x4 awning, and a sasquatch-on-a-bike decal. Stealth enough for a city street, ready for a forest road.
The white E-Series is the one that started it all. Lifted, set on off-road wheels and all-terrain tires, with a roof rack for storage and enough LED up top to turn a 5 a.m. ski lot into daylight.
It hauls boards in the winter and camp gear in the summer, and it taught us most of what we know about which upgrades matter and which just look good in the driveway.
Everything we learned on these two goes into the next one. Tell us what you're dreaming up.
