When Andrei Larioza brought his 2025 Toyota Tundra 6.5' Hybrid CrewMax to Tiny Rig Co, he wanted one thing: a self-reliant truck he could take anywhere, that drives well on the highway and holds up on the trail. We handled the whole build, from armor and suspension to power, the camper and every bit of storage. The finished truck pairs high-end craftsmanship and aerospace-grade wiring with the kind of durability you want when you're a long way from the nearest shop.
Watch the full walkthrough below, then scroll down for the details and a complete parts list.
Armor, Lighting and a Sherpa Grizzly Roof Rack
The factory bumpers came off first. In their place went CBI Adventure Series armor front and rear, fitted with Baja Designs S8 and Squadron lights for real visibility in dust and fog. A Warn Zeon 12-S winch sits up front, tied into a custom-sleeved Tiny Rig wire harness with every connection labeled so it's easy to service down the road.
Underneath, full-coverage CBI skid plates and rock sliders protect the truck from rocks and ledges. Up top, a Sherpa Grizzly roof rack carries a Baja Designs XL Linkable 8-light bar, switched through a Garmin PowerSwitch.
Custom King 3.0 Coilovers, Camburg Arms and Powerbrake Brakes
For suspension, we installed custom-tuned King 3.0 IBP coilovers with compression adjusters, red anodized hardware and black Cerakote, paired with Camburg Kinetik Series upper control arms and billet rear sway bar end links. Out back, Camburg trailing arms add articulation and cut down on binding, so the axle moves more freely. On the road it handles tighter, and the damping stays consistent even fully loaded.
More weight means you need more brake. We upgraded to a Powerbrake X-Line front kit with D-Line rears, which gives the Tundra fade-free stopping power even with the camper on.
REDARC Alpha 100 Power System and Solar
The electrical system is built around a REDARC Manager Alpha100 with RedVision, paired with a 150 Ah Redarc X2 battery system and a 2000 W inverter. Dual Garmin PowerSwitch units control the accessories, and a Sunflare 240 W FLEX-Si solar panel on the roof keeps the batteries topped up, all wired with GP Factor solar and linkage kits.
Every wire is sleeved, labeled and routed so it lasts and so it's easy to get to later. Andrei can monitor the whole system from his phone, with complete redundancy between alternator and solar charging.

Alu-Cab ModCAP Family Sleeper with Goose Gear Storage
The camper is an Alu-Cab ModCAP, built on the full-size 6.5' camper base with the ModCAP Family Tent, so it sleeps four. Inside, it's set up with Goose Gear cabinetry, rear MOLLE storage and an integrated water and propane system.
A Dickinson P9000 propane fireplace keeps things warm on cold nights, and a National Luna 70 L fridge/freezer is secured with custom Tiny Rig tie-downs. Modular Goose Gear panels keep every utility easy to reach for service.
Recovery Gear, Shower and Off-Grid Extras
For long trips, the truck also carries:
- Maxtrax MKII recovery boards on GP Factor Maxtrax mounts
- An ARB hydraulic jack and an air-down kit
- A Kakadu Outback shower system with half jerry can integration
- An Alu-Box storage system with Goose Gear top plates
- An Alu-Cab Shadow Awning with the wall kit
- A Starlink Mini setup for staying connected off-grid
A Wolfbox backup camera mirror, Alpharex NOVA headlights and an 813 Fabrication Deadbolt security system finish off the tech side of the build.
