Our Story

From Trail Enthusiast to Workshop Specialist

888 Customs was born out of a simple realization: the African bush doesn't compromise, so your vehicle equipment shouldn't either.

Founded by Milan Cornelius, the heart and driving force behind the business, 888 Customs started with a single focus — building 4x4 protection and overland setups that actually hold up under South Africa's harshest conditions.

Milan's deep personal passion for offroading and hands-on fabrication shaped the core culture of the workshop. To Milan, every bakkie that enters the shop isn't just a job ticket; it's a build that represents safety, reliability, and pride on the open road. That commitment to honest advice, uncompromising quality, and practical design has built 888 Customs into a trusted name among local 4x4 enthusiasts.

Where We Are

Rooted in Kosmos, North West.

888 Customs is based in Kosmos, a small community nestled at the foot of Kosmos Mountain in the North West Province. It's the kind of place where the bush starts at your back door and the nearest serious trail is never far away.

That geography isn't incidental — it's the reason Milan built the workshop here. Every build that leaves the bay gets tested against the real terrain of the North West: rocky koppies, farm tracks, and the wide open veld that demands your rig be properly sorted.
