Conversion Of Rafiki: I Turned My Pick-Up Truck Into A Real Expedition Vehicle

I decided to buy my own 4x4 (and first car ever!) at the age of 33. Early 2021, I finally found it, somewhere in the French Alps. I was so ready to convert this standard pick-up truck into a reliable overland 4x4.

After loads of drawings and drafts (previous post), I finally ordered the equipment last April, the bed rack + RTT have been installed first (in July).

3 months later, the build was completed:

1x RTT - Front Runner 1x load bad rack - Front Runner 1x snorkel Equipaddict + 1x cyclonic head 3x skid plates - Rival 1x suspension kit - Pedders 5x AT tyres (S/T Maxx) - Cooper 1x hi-lift jack - Front Runner 1x pair of recovery tracks - MaxTrax

Also, I want Rafiki to be unique so I got it some special tattoos!

End 2021, Rafiki was born and the journey to my dream is on.
