Diving fully into your passion and turning it into a successful business is a big leap of faith. Brit Mansell and his family at American Adventure Lab are no strangers to taking a few risks and going for it, having been involved in off-roading for most of their lives. Just 3 years ago; Brit left a corporate job in Alabama and the family headed west to the beautiful terrain and mountains of Utah. It was there that American Adventure Lab was born as a company that sought to provide high quality, innovative parts to the overlanding and off-road industry that they love.

Whenever the Pacific Northwest comes to mind; one usually envisions fog-filled forests, grunge music, the Goonies and fancy bean water. But it is getting close to having full-blown custom diesel trucks added to that list. One of the shops helping to push that trend is the husband and wife team at Seaside Muffler and Off-Road. Tim and Danielle Wing continued and expanded their local muffler shop into an off-road truck customizing business in Seaside, Oregon over a decade ago.
Specializing in performance and suspension upgrades on diesel trucks; their shop has touched the gamut of enhanced daily drivers and work trucks to full-blown show rigs that help showcase the capabilities of the shop. This has lead to working with a variety of companies on their latest projects.
