THE FOUNDER’S SELECTION:
Dennis’ vision of the ultimate Rugged commission.
Founder's Selection
A Complete Ensemble, Curated by the Founder
The Founder’s Selection is a luxury Sprinter van bundle, curated by Dennis himself—the way he would build his own van.
At its core is the Baja LP:9 Roof Rack—the definitive statement rack, benchmarked by Dennis as the pinnacle of design. With its commanding proportions and unrivaled deck space, the LP9 anchors the Selection as more than a collection of sprinter van parts—it is a unified Rugged ensemble, crafted to heirloom-grade standards and engineered with intent.
— The Pinnacle —
The LP:9 is our flagship — a rack that commands attention with both presence and performance. Measuring 60 inches wide and stretching over 12 feet on a 144 wheelbase, it delivers the largest usable deck space in the industry. Sculpted curves at the front and sides mirror the Sprinter’s body lines, while its ultra-low profile sits tighter to the roofline than almost any rack ever engineered for a Sprinter.
Built to house five to six Baja Designs LP9s, the rack transforms lighting into an architectural statement — bold, balanced, and unmistakable. Unlike bolt-together alternatives, the LP:9 is crafted to heirloom standards, blending strength, utility, and refinement into one seamless platform. To commission the LP:9 is to own the industry benchmark: a statement rack engineered for those who refuse to settle.
The founder's selection also includes:
The Double Ladder Combo
Mirrored design, precisely crafted for front and rear wheel wells. Angled bases align in structural and aesthetic balance, enhancing both function and visual flow.
Ladder Security Grip
Selected for secure and confidence grip on every climb—an intentional detail that elevates both safety and utility. An essential upgrade to every ladder.
(R)oof (R)ack (R)ear (R)ail
From mounting additional lights to enhancing cargo security and rear ladder access, it is the foundation of a balanced, fully capable rear section.
Version 2 Side Steps
Sleek, heirloom-grade steps—blending strength, style, and everyday practicality for refined entry and exit.
Rear Bumper
One of Dennis’ favorites, the rear bumper eliminates false sensor triggers from cargo boxes and provides a stable platform for seating or loading.
A/C Cover
Designed to integrate with A/C units and vents seamlessly—preserving deck space while maintaining a low profile.
The Privilege of Commissioning the Founder’s Selection
While each Rugged component can be purchased individually, the Founder’s Selection unites them as a complete Rugged ensemble. Commissioning the collection in full ensures not only a cohesive design, but also an exclusive value (15% off) extended only to those who secure every element together.
This privilege reflects the Founder’s vision: a recognition for those who commit to the complete Rugged experience—receiving preferred value that cannot be achieved through separate orders.
The Founder’s Selection is more than a bundle. It is the pinnacle of Rugged Design Concepts—a creation reserved for the few who refuse to settle, it represents the highest expression of our craftsmanship—heirloom-grade, engineered with intent, and destined to endure.
The founder’s vision
“The Founder’s Selection is how I would build my own van. Every detail is intentional—each piece designed to complement the next. It’s not just about outfitting a vehicle, it’s about creating a complete Rugged legacy.”
— Dennis Phelps, Founder
