How To Build a Chopped Land Cruiser - ENDURO x TAV - Walt & Leif insight into the build.

Описание: While the concept is not new, the approach to
this project is. For years people have been putting bolt
on campers on the back of trucks, cutting up SUV's,
and making them into high-end campers. But with the
TAV SPEC Long Travel system this build is going to
the next level. Our client approached us as we have
worked with him on builds over the years. During that
time, he has gotten to know Walt and how he thinks
about building vehicles, the idea that each vehicle that
leaves our shop is Expedition Ready is what brought
him back for this project.
Having driven his other vehicle hard and
coming to trust the TAV Long Travel Suspension
System, he approached us with the idea of partnering
with Enduro Campers on this project. Over the past
few years, he has gotten to know Leif, the owner of
Enduro Campers, and has watched his work closely.
During this time, they talked about this project and what it would take to bring it to life. So he coordinated this “perfect marriage,” as he called it,
between Tactical application Vehicles and Enduro
Campers to bring this vision to life.
