Fun fact: if you go up to the version of the Apple autonomous driving mule with the giant “iPhone 4” on top, and spritz the center of the sensor window, you’ll see my mini wiper spring to life. Go on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/1642918891677-7XF80NWO7NY1FR30UC1G/IMG_2576.JPG About - Song Toh - As for the brand “Deviant Customs”, it first came into being in 2012 when I made my custom bicycle frame in the class affectionately known as Stanford Frameworks. It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the seat tube being deviated from vertical by 0.5 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/1642919089436-LUUJ7HSAZXW7QV81F1XY/IMG_2911.jpg About - Song Toh - That’s me on the left as a navy Lieutenant aboard a “Saving Private Ryan” landing craft in the Persian Gulf in 2010, with Commander Kenny L. “Deviant” could also be used to describe my personal and professional journey. After living in Singapore until age 16, I attended “Hippie Hogwarts” (Google it). Then I did a year of military training before going to Stanford for my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Following graduation I did another 6 years as a naval officer on various ships, before returning to Stanford for a Masters in Product Design. https://www.rennsafari.com/carriera daily 0.75 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/ba6920d6-740c-4da2-8cb8-8af80044fe1e/IMG_1191.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The production version weighs 1300lb (dry) with pictured accessories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/1745525737554-6CC2SBDTBZES0UFXQOOY/IMG_1263.jpg Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The 2" receiver hitch can be configured with on/off-road options or different tongue lengths for optimal weight distribution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/72be36d6-a7c4-413f-b429-2a0486e9e0c4/IMG_8108.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The kitchen, fridge and cupholder-spoiler. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/47946cd5-711e-4596-81ed-354201458a51/IMG_1210.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Front bike rack can be combined with rear to make a quad bike rack for the tow vehicle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/e6c977b9-b7bb-448f-9cf6-708bdc51a393/IMG_1182.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The Inspired Overland Carbonlite RTT weighs just 80lbs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/8025e537-6cc1-4276-8af4-0f511fd59916/IMG_1294.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Bumper insert flips down for storage access. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/4ea24062-edaf-4a4a-bfde-ffd81f854eea/IMG_1311.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Close-up of drawer locking mechanism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/8e738583-07e0-4d68-959c-6bac19394e98/IMG_1208.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Right vent repurposed as shore power port. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/07292808-6dd7-4ae5-8b61-77217fafaf69/IMG_1203.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Left vent repurposed as spray head port. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/cbef2f3e-7f95-42e2-9465-74071032ce49/IMG_1207.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Snowboard rack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/1745561415869-I87UF06KGBCU5DABCSN8/IMG_1298.jpg Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The custom lockable linkage raises the awning by 5 inches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/1745561387565-QK10QW5ED8IG64CZ0I1L/IMG_1299.jpg Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Gas struts neutralize the weight of the awning for easy lifting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/7bb581c8-4450-464b-b12e-b2762b5ab287/IMG_1304.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Gas struts neutralize the weight of the hatch, and also create a self-closing effect in the last few inches of travel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/e4846b2d-8c90-4543-bba5-606b651984c6/IMG_1309.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer The Timbren axle-less suspension is modular and can be configured for -4", 0" and +4" of lift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/a465a0ab-d106-4b04-838c-adaabfbfcae4/IMG_0830.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Updated cargo door mocked up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/a675c8db-cba9-4ca7-b99d-f5caaa66ba7c/IMG_0687.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Close up of sheetmetal panels closing off the storage compartment interior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/f23991cc-7ca6-48f2-9c48-5d96789064d3/IMG_0673.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Frame and shell - just married! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/86d6807c-e705-4131-b647-bd9c4579cd4f/IMG_0643.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Dropping the shell onto the trailer frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/5a5d0449-c2d1-4de4-b333-e4851c311a2a/IMG_0600.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Close up of welds at tongue support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e26aaa6314847d06a8115a/ea61fc25-10cc-449d-972d-b6d60dafdb58/IMG_0627.JPEG Custom Offroad Overlanding Trailer Nov 2024 - work begins on preproduction version.
