Built for Hunter. Made unmistakably hers.
At its Trail Hero debut, Tippin’s colors kept coming up in conversation. Hunter DuBose chose that combination for a buggy built for her.
Hunter shaped the color combinations into a black-and-bronze rig with a character all its own. Built alongside Kingpin by the Motobilt crew, Tippin became her expression of what a buggy could look like.
The colors people kept talking about
When Tippin debuted at Trail Hero 2026, we heard it again and again: people loved the colors. Many told us they preferred Tippin’s combination when they saw the two buggies together. The same enthusiasm showed up in the response on social media.
For us, those conversations were a highlight of the debut. Visitors were noticing the choices Hunter had made. The black and bronze gave people something to connect with, remember and talk about—the kind of personal detail that makes a build feel like it belongs to its driver.
Hunter’s mark on Tippin
Hunter designed Tippin’s logo and branding herself. The name and logo are personal to her, giving the buggy an identity that reflects the person behind it.
Her creative direction runs through the build—from the original logo shown here to the colors she chose for the body, wheels and interior.
Her vision, our crew’s hands
Tippin came together inside Motobilt through the combined work of Dan DuBose, Rob “Bender” Park, Denver Schneider and the fabrication team. Dan, Bender and Denver collaborated on the chassis layout, suspension and component placement. Denver handled CAD and the electrical systems, while the team contributed to the dash and interior.
The round headlights and slotted grille styling keep our Jeep heritage in view. Hunter’s color direction gives that familiar influence a different personality. Together, they make Tippin part of the Motobilt family and a build that is distinctly hers.
Inside Tippin
Hunter’s color choices carry through the cabin—from the brown seats to the accents across the dash and controls.

A debut that started with a shakedown
Getting to Trail Hero meant more than finishing the last details in the shop. On the trip west from South Alabama, the crew stopped in Farmington, New Mexico, to test and tune Tippin and Kingpin before Hunter arrived to drive her new buggy.
By the time Tippin reached its debut in Hurricane, Utah, the story included the people who built it, the work on the road and the driver it was made for. The response in person and online showed how strongly people connected with Hunter’s color choices.

Hunter’s music · severous
A soundtrack of her own
Hunter’s creativity carries beyond the buggy. She releases off-road music as severous, with songs inspired by the world she loves to wheel in.
“Tippin on the Rocks” brings another piece of her personality to this build. Take a listen.
