After suffering through numerous equipment failures on their expeditions around the world, they decided to take their shared passion for vehicle based adventure travel and dream up new, smart gear and build it stronger than… well, as they put it, “stronger than the elephants at the watering hole 1 klick over.”

With the grueling African bush as a testing ground, Front Runner focused on a tough love approach to developing products. With both feet facing the future and little sentimentally for mediocre ideas of the past – common approaches to off-road vehicle product design were quickly jettisoned in favor of innovation, new materials, and superior manufacturing practices.

Today, Front Runner products have a well deserved reputation for quality, intelligent design, and durability. Their manufacturing facility just outside of Johannesburg, South Africa features in house laser cutting, bending and powder coating. Our CAD designed products are created by a team of engineers, and built by skilled craftsman in their ISO-9001 : 2015 Certified factory.

Front Runner Outfitters roof racks, water tanks, tents, awnings, drawer systems and camping accessories are enjoyed, used and abused around the world by casual campers, the U.N, Overlanders, NGOs, Outdoor Enthusiasts and Extreme Athletes.
