IT SEEMS the level of vehicles we see at the top end of touring 4x4 builds is only limited by the imagination of their owners and the talents of the vehicle builders. While cost-prohibitive to most of us, this is a booming part of the 4x4 world with customers lining up at the workshops building them. One such workshop that is making all the right moves and creating exceptional rigs is Brisbane's Rambler Automotive. We’ve seen plenty of Rambler builds on these pages, ranging from simple touring D-MAX utes to chopped and converted LandCruisers costing twice as much as the original purchase price.
Rambler Automotive maestro, Kris Humphrys, tells us there’s no limit to his customers’ dreams and ideas, and he provides a turn-key solution to put those dreams on the road.
“Most of our customers are looking for all-inclusive touring packages,” Kris says. “Most common requirements are GVM/GCM upgrades, interior upgrades – improved comfort in the seats, leather, sound-deadening and stereo upgrades – 12-volt battery systems and upright fridges are also a part of most builds.”
Rambler is truly a one-stop shop for this style of vehicle build. They talk to the customer about what they want and what they plan to do with the vehicle. They will then source and purchase the vehicle and get the build underway pre-registration if required to meet the SSM (Second Stage of Manufacture) and engineering requirements, before completing the total fit-out. Finally, Rambler delivers the fully modified, accessorised, built and registered vehicle to the customer just like they are taking delivery from a new car dealership. Kris will even put a big bow on top of it.
