Rugged Ridge Build

Ian Johnson customizes a 2013 Jeep for Rugged Ridge for MotorTrend's Ultimate Adventure. Every vehicle Ian builds is completely custom. During the first episode he cuts the frame and stretches the body.

On episode 2 of the Rugged Ridge build for MotorTrend's Ultimate Adventure, Ian Johnson installs a long-arm superlift kit onto the frame, a Dana 44 front axle and Hawk brakes!

The Rugged Ridge Jeep really comes together when Ian adds Bushwhacker fender flares, designs a creative sleeping space for himself, and adds corner armor. Then the finished "Javalanche" heads out to the start of the Ultimate Adventure.
