BEHIND THE SCENES
Scarab was founded as a company in 2019 when two young inventors, Carter & Tristan met during their time at CU Boulder. Through a mutual interest in Toyotas, the two quickly began creating unique and desirable modifications for their 4x4s, which became products for a blossoming company. Operated out of various garages across the US, we continue to grow and fine tune our operations with the hopes to all be centrally located in Northern Colorado, where we originally began our off-roading journey!

MEET THE TEAM
TRISTAN RICCI
Raised in the mountains, Tristan was no stranger to exploration when he got behind the wheel of his first Toyota at the age of 16. As his adventures grew, so did the capabilities of his vehicles. While studying mechanical engineering at CU Boulder, he began to create solutions for common problems encountered in the offroad community alongside his co-founder Carter. Quickly their designs gained traction, and became publicly available. Today, he uses his skills in CAD Design to further Scarab's product line and bring more innovative solutions to the market for all to enjoy! Find him out on the trails in his 4.7L 2uz-fe powered, solid axle 3rd gen 4runner.
JUSTIN HAYES
After meeting on a winter snow-wheeling trip on Switzerland Trail in Boulder Colorado, Justin and Tristan quickly became friends and soon after business partners. With the addition of Justin's washer relocation kits, Scarab began to grow at a much faster pace. Justin now has an equal stake in Scarab's operation and future, working alongside the team to streamline operations and improve sales. With a degree in marketing and business operations and an evolving passion for off-roading. Justin is integral to Scarab's development.
CARTER HANSEN
Carter and Tristan met one fateful day on the streets of CU Boulder. The two young inventors immediately became friends over their mutual passion for the outdoors and later co-founded Scarab Offroad. While Carter is no longer a part of our day-to-day operations, we would be remiss not to mention his vision as a co-founder. When he isn't overseas honing his mad-DJ skills with his record label, you can be sure to find Carter on the trails of Colorado, exploring with our team. We will forever support him and wish him luck in all of his future ventures; with or without Scarab by his side. Check out what Carter is up to on his page below!
