About Aiden James Customs

At Aiden James Customs LLC, adventure isn't an option—it's our core philosophy. As the driving force behind the Overland Shop brand, we're passionate Southern California explorers who transform everyday Toyotas into adventure-ready machines. Every build is a partnership: you bring the aspiration, we bring decades of hands-on off-road experience and precision engineering.

Whether you're venturing deep into the Sierras for an off-the-grid escape, or want to upgrade your daily 4Runner for family trail days, our crew delivers more than modifications: we build legacies. Our exclusive Fang Light™ system was engineered in-house for unparalleled trail clarity, and our gear plates and mounts undergo daily real-world testing across California.

As passionate 4x4 enthusiasts, you'll find us on the trails nearly every weekend—so we know what works, and we stand behind every bolt we install.
