MITS Alloy partnered with our friends over at REDARC Electronics to build three new display vehicles in the USA!
Built tough and ready to push the limits, REDARC’s latest off grid build is nothing short of the ultimate adventure vehicle. Harnessing over 40 years of expert knowledge of powering rigs and building off-grid tourers in Australia, we couldn’t wait to get our hands dirty on a truck build unlike any other.
Designed with products specifically chosen to tackle anything North America can throw at it, this Tacoma is capable enough to go as far and wide as you can dream. Look inside REDARC’s first North American build to see how we turned a 2021 Toyota Tacoma into an overlanding powerhouse.

Builds like this don’t come around very often, so when our REDARC representative Haydn first approached us here at MITS HQ about the upcoming Tacoma builds, we got straight into the R&D. These vehicles feature some of the best gear on the market from industry leading brands and fitted by our USA distributor Mule Expedition Outfitters and dealers Asheville Vehicle Outfitters and Tiny Rig Co, so you know these 3 Tacoma’s received the highest attention to detail and finesse during fitment.
Before the tray and canopy setups shipped stateside, our resident auto electrician and 12V guru Dan from DMF Auto Electrics worked his magic on a very custom installation in each of the three canopies, designed to show off the full suite of premium gear from REDARC. These panels, complete with back lighting and quick access for demonstration are the centerpiece of each canopy.
Tray: 1850mm Long x 1870mm wide, 1500mm rear under tray drawer & lid, rear tapered under tray toolboxes, flared mudguards, 30L poly headboard water tank, ebony black powder coating.
Canopy: 1600mm Long x 1870mm wide, spare wheel carrier, canopy length roof rack, Clearview ES220 drop down fridge slide, single drawer and table combo, bespoke redarc display panel and battery tray.
Dry weight of tray and canopy (including fridge slide and drawer and spare) = 469kg
