The Tofitian Overlander Build. 💪😎

Built for the road less travelled. 🏔️

Last weekend we showcased this custom Overlander build at the 4WDABC 4x4 Overlander Rally in Coombs, BC. It was awesome getting this truck in front of such a fired-up, passionate crowd of 4x4 and overlanding enthusiasts!

This was a huge collaborative project between Rival MFG, Tofitian Enterprises, and Buckstop Truckware, creating a serious overland platform designed for capability, versatility, and heavy-duty use.

At its core is a custom Rival MFG aluminum truck deck and spring-retained subframe. Removable side boxes and tailgate allow the truck to quickly transform into a full flat deck when the camper comes off, while a reinforced bulkhead and 1/4" deck provide serious strength.

Expanded wheel wells accommodate XL-diameter tires, profiled cabinets follow the truck's body lines, and the high-clearance rear design maintains a deep departure angle for off-road use.

Multiple integrated L-track locations provide flexible load retention, while illuminated cabinets include provisions for shelving, drawers, tool hangers, and future accessories.

An 18,000 lb-capacity apron hitch provides serious towing capability, with dual additional receivers for a hydraulic motorcycle lift. Underneath, the spring-retained subframe uses polyurethane limiters to provide additional forgiveness as the chassis twists and articulates off-road.

The entire deck was meticulously sized and stress-tested throughout development and finished in durable Sandtex Black powder coat.

A huge thank you to Tofitian Enterprises for trusting us with this ambitious project, and to Buckstop Truckware for their work on the suspension and lift.

From standardized fleet equipment to completely one-off builds, Rival MFG turns ambitious ideas into purpose-built equipment.

Three custom Prisoner Transport Vans recently delivered to BC Corrections.

🚓👮🚓🚨🚓

Designed to safely and securely transport up to 10 prisoners, these Ford Transit-based units were purpose-built to support correctional officers with a durable, highly functional, and security-focused transport platform.

Each van features a custom center console complete with monitor, PA controls, emergency lighting switches, HVAC controls, USB connectivity, life hammer storage, and future system expandability. A dedicated officer compartment bulkhead provides secured storage for emergency equipment, while the rear transport module incorporates audio and video recording in every cell, reinforced aluminum and Lexan door assemblies, day/night lighting, HVAC integration, and a variety of tamper-resistant, contraband-resistant, and self-harm-resistant design features.

Safety and usability were a major focus throughout the build. High-visibility grip tape and reflective markings help reduce slips, trips, and head strikes, while independently opening rear doors, retention hardware, interior storage compartments, self-draining rear access steps, and digital temperature monitoring provide officers with the tools they need to operate safely and effectively.

A special thank you to BC Corrections for their continued trust in our team. We'd also like to recognize AVO and ThermoKingBC for their expertise and contributions to this project. We're proud to work alongside industry-leading partners to deliver premium apparatus to communities throughout British Columbia.

Supporting the people who support Canada. 🍁

We recently completed the installation of a Tommy Gate G2-60-1542 TP42 hydraulic liftgate for the Canadian Armed Forces Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME).

While it's "just" a liftgate to some, we're proud to play even a small role in providing reliable equipment solutions for the organizations that help keep Canada secure. Whether it's municipal fleets, contractors, emergency services, or members of our Armed Forces, every build and installation is approached with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

This installation provides safe, efficient loading and unloading capabilities while maintaining the versatility of the truck for day-to-day operations. The Tommy Gate G2 Series is a proven solution for reducing manual lifting and improving productivity in the field.

And yes... we couldn't help but admire the license plate. 🪖

Thank you to the Canadian Armed Forces RCEME for trusting our team with this installation.
