Industry Spotlight

Industry Spotlight: James Baroud

All James Baroud products are still handcrafted in small batches at their own factory in Porto, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and quality control. The company employs a team of experienced adventurers, including a former Paris-Dakar rally pilot, to rigorously test each product in real-world conditions. This commitment to quality is backed by an industry leading five-year warranty, underscoring their confidence in the durability and reliability of their products. 

Industry Spotlight: – Four Wheel Campers

Before “overlanding” was a household term in the U.S., Four Wheel Campers (FWC) was already quietly outfitting adventurers for life off-grid. Founded in 1972 in Colorado, the company emerged from a simple but powerful idea: that a reliable, lightweight, and low-profile pop-up truck camper could unlock the backroads and wilderness for more people. That vision took shape through countless trips into the Rockies testing gear in real conditions. The earliest prototypes were born from rugged experiences and the kind of “let’s figure it out” moments only found deep in the wild.

Industry Spotlight: Belltech

Among its extensive lineup, Belltech’s most groundbreaking product is its Sprinter Van lift kits, a game-changer in the world of overland suspension. Designed for ultimate durability and adaptability, the kit features a rear block and coilover combo, front and rear sway bars, and subframe reinforcements. Developed in partnership with SlateBuilt.com, which will be the sole distributor of these kits.
