My father had a 1979 Jeep CJ5. Blue, white wagon wheels, no top, no doors, 3 speed manual. I can still remember cruising around the neighborhood and down country roads – I was about 9 years old.

I have always loved old trucks. Riptide 4x4 was created out of a sheer passion for the fun and timelessness these classic vehicles inspire. I would argue that very few material possessions leave such lasting impressions on a person, as a vehicle.

At Riptide we do it right. No shortcuts, no gimmicks. We build fun, safe, quality trucks to hopefully continue the tradition of inspiration for that next 9 year old with their dad. Let us build your dream truck so that you may share the same experiences with your family, as we do with ours.
