MAK & OWEN
Everywhere & Nowhere
Escape Rig: 1998 Toyota Hilux + X1 Camper
MAK & Owen—better known to the rest of the wired world as Bound For Nowhere—have built more purposeful, beautiful rigs than most people have had hot meals. Their latest obsession, “Uni,” is a head turning purple Toyota Hilux brought over from Japan for it's next incarnation in Southern California. Since meeting in college this duo has roamed the backroads of the American west and beyond, with a heart full of wanderlust and an eye on the horizon, discovering pockets of home wherever the road leads.
But enough chit chat. Let's meet Uni...

What was your goal with your camper build out?
"To be honest our build is still in its early stages. We have built many rigs over the years and we have come to find that if you can move slowly into the mods it helps make informed decisions based on how we actually use the camper. So far we have added some storage inside the camper as we make plans for what we want to do next!"
What's the best unexpected benefit of owning your X1?
"We have used Uni on photo shoots as a production vehicle! The X1 is perfect for giving models a place to change into wardrobe as well as carry a bunch of gear and product for our commercial work!"
